10 Month Well-Check

Ace loves pickles!

First taste of Oreos, he approves!

Ace went for his 10 month well-check just before Christmas. He did great! Of course, the lack of shots helped:) He gets more shots at his 14 month check up. Dr. Wallace said he was a good looking boy, which we already knew! He was 29 1/4 inches long in the 75th percentile and 21 lb 10 oz in between the 50th and 75th percentile. Such a big boy:) At 10 months, Ace has a lot of fun! He is crawling all over the place, but prefers to cruise. He talks all the time, words include: Da Da, Momma, bye bye, ball, car, light, and catch. He has also learned to point to what he wants and shake his head no if you get it wrong. He points to the light or ball when asked. He waves bye bye or hi, and will give you five. He gives great kisses, and loves to play with his brother. His favorite game is crawl away from Jett, while Jett chases him also crawling. They both laugh, and it is so cute! I'm sure there is plenty that I am forgetting! We love our little guy!

Christmas #1 (with G & Opa)

We had our first Christmas on December 18th with G, Opa, Uncle Indy, & Aunt Winnie at our house. We all had a great time! The boys had missed Aunt Winnie a ton, and she had missed them too! We always enjoy her visits. Presents are always good too. Although, Ace would've been happy with just tissue paper or a box! He did really enjoy playing with his toys, though. Our visit was short, but very nice!

Ace loves his soft animals, easy to chew on:)

Fun at The Children's Museum

Ace has been spending a good amount of time at The Children's Museum. Big brother, Jett loves it! Ace is a pretty big fan too. He likes the wide open space to crawl around. I know he'll really enjoy it when he learns to walk! For now, his favorite parts are watching the trains, watching all of the "ball" exhibits, and playing the drums. Hours of fun!

Ace's 1st Halloween

Halloween was great this year! Ace really enjoyed our time at the pumpkin patch. He loved his little pumpkin! He took a nap instead of helping Daddy and Jett carve the pumpkin. Pretty sure everyone was okay with this! Since Momma lost the costume battle, Daddy picked out Ace's costume. I think he did an excellent job! Ace is the cutest Incredible Hulk I've ever seen! He was so good. He didn't even mind the little hat. He was a huge fan of the slick costume material & his bare feet! The combination of the two made his sniper crawl super fast! Ace was a little sad that he could not have some of his brother's candy, but there's always next year. He'll have his own candy & teeth!

So happy!

Cute boy!

Always ready for a picture!

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!

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.
