Ace's 1st Football Season

This is Ace's first football season. I'm interested to see how it goes. He's already missing his Daddy. We hate it when Daddy has to work so much! Jett made it fine through his first football season, but Ace is a little lot more active. So, we'll see how long we actually get to stay at the games this year:) I'm sure they will be loads of fun! I love the way these pictures turned out!

Cheese!

Where's that football?


I got it!

My sweet boy!

My Blue Eyed Boys

6 Months Old

Ace was 6 months old yesterday. We went for his 6 month well-check today. My sweet baby boy is getting so big! He is 28 inches long in the 95th percentile and 18 lbs in the 90th percentile. He did really great at the doctor's office! He smiled & talked to the nurses, and he only cried a little bit when he got his shots. He was much better after Daddy picked him up!

At 6 months, Ace:

• Rolls from front to back & back to front, especially to get something of Jett's!


• Sits up by himself, although excitement makes him tip over:)


• Loves his baby food, especially pears!


• Loves his paci & can put it in his mouth himself.


• Can use a beginner sippy cup, anything to be like big brother!


• Talks all the time & can say Da Da, and even Daddy on occasion.


• Will reach for Momma, especially if he's sleepy.


• Loves his big brother & thinks he is the funniest person ever!


• Loves to gnaw on just about anything, teeth should be here soon.


• Loves to play cars with Jett.


• Is so ticklish & has the best laugh!


• Is a great sleeper, almost always 8 hrs straight:)


• Loves to bounce in his exersaucer.


• Gets really frustrated on his tummy because he wants to crawl! Should be just around the corner:)

Ace's 1st Word!

Ace said his 1st word on Friday evening, August 12th! And of course, it was Da Da! We only work on Momma everyday! Now Jett & I are wondering which word will come next...Jett or Momma? Ace loves to talk! He babbles all the time & loves to say Da Da, especially when he gets frustrated. Ace is almost 6 months old, and we are so excited to record all of his milestones! We are curious to see just how big he is at his check up.

More Pictures from Tennessee

Here are more pictures from our time in Clifton. We really did have a great time! I believe we are gonna make this an annual trip. The boys had a blast! I feel bad that I didn't get pictures of everyone. I feel even worse that we only saw Aunt Shon 1 day, and we didn't see Aunt Kendra at all. Unfortunately, not everyone was off work. We are looking forward to Christmas!

Ace loved Grandmother!

Ace & Mama Holt. This was the 1st time she got to see her great-great grandson.

Jett was loving on Ace & Grandmother!

The only really GOOD nap the boys took all week!

Ace Meets Mommy's Family

We really enjoyed our trip to Clifton, TN! It was Ace's first time to meet most of Momma's family. Naturally, everyone loved Ace! He was so happy anytime anyone held him. He is such a good baby! All of our cousins took turns making him smile and trying to get him to laugh. It was a really fun time!
Pictures of Claire, Avery, & Madison will be on Jett's blog & there are more pictures to come on Ace's. I do apologize though, I have no pictures of Aunt Cindy, Uncle Byron, Granddaddy, Uncle Mark, Aunt Shon, William, Uncle Myles, Aunt Kendra, or Jon Nathan. I will do better at Christmas!!!

Addison held Ace as often as she could! He's nearly as big as she is!

3 Month Pictures

I finally got Ace's 3 month pictures back, yay!! I was so pleased with the way they turned out. Ace smiled, cooed, & laughed throughout our photo session. All of his pictures were great! Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

4 Months

Ace is 4 months old now! I can hardly believe it & yet I can. He's such a big boy! We went for his 4 month well-check last Thursday. The shots were horrible as expected. It gets worse the older they are! The good news is that he's growing like an all star! He was 16 lbs 6 oz in the 80th percentile & 26 1/4 in long in the 90th percentile. Ace rolls from front to back regularly, puts weight on his arms & holds his head up, loves the independence of sitting up in his bumbo seat & to stand and spin in his bouncy exersaucer. He likes brief moments lying on Leo, his lion (Thank you Aunt Winnie!), loves playing with his redbird, LOVES playing & talking with big brother, Jett, loves when Daddy flies him like an airplane, & loves when Momma holds him. We are enjoying watching him grow!
Ace's 3 month pictures will be coming soon! They were so good. I can't wait to show them off!

Ace looks so much like Jett in this pic.

Such a big boy!


Ah, independence.

Ace would prefer to never wear clothes!

A little floor time with Leo.
