Bo's 6 month Update

Our little guy is growing so fast! It is amazing how much things can change for these little one's in such a short period of time. Bo has been such a wonderful little baby and so fun to have. God has truly blessed us.

Growth Charts:
Bo is weighing in at 17 lbs 11 oz. (50% percentile)
He stands (or sits) at 26 inches (30%)

New things for Bo:
-For the past couple days he has been trying to sit with out support, this often lasts about 20 sec. He does really good trying to balance himself during this time.

- Working on getting rid of the swaddle blanket to sleep. I think he is ready for it to be done. But he is having a hard time controlling his arms, they seem to move about and wake him up. Hopefully we will only have one more long night of this???? (fingers crossed)

- The first tooth may be on its way out. He has a clear runny nose lately, as well as gallons of drool.

- His vocabulary of cooing, screeching and random noises are increasing! It sure is fun to hear his new noises along with him own reaction to them.

- Still is not so sure about the veggies, it is hard for him to get down 1/2 a jar of anything but sweet potatoes. We have just started fruits, applesauce was the first and boy did he make some funny faces!! :)

Wanna Be Beach Bums!

Here is a few pics from our vacation. We had a great relaxing time even if the weather wasn't perfect. We spent 4 days in Destin, FL. While in Destin we slept, shopped and tried the beach! As you can tell we weren't in our suits! It rained one of the days so we didn't get to the Zoo like we had planned, we shopped instead :). We ate out at some wonderful sea food restaurants and steakhouses. Bo did AWESOME, for the 14 hour car ride. After we were in Destin for 4 days we headed to Blountstown, FL to visit family. We had a great time catching up and seeing all of our new little cousins. Thank you to all the families who had us over for super. The meals are always a highlight with the Yoder family. We also experienced our first "Southern Boil" Yum! Yum! Thanks to the Wesselhoefts.

It is good to be home and we are trying to get back into the routine, if there is one any more. Dave got a fever when we returned and Bo had a slight temp on Saturday and Sunday evening. They are both feeling good now!

We finished the weekend off with the extended Bauer Christmas, It was good to get together even though not everyone was there. We missed you Aunt Tootie and Dave and the Steiner boys!

We need a Vacation!!

We are getting ready today to go on our 1st family vacation with Bo! We leave tomorrow night to drive 15 hours to Destin, Fl. We are going to leave when we put Bo down for bed, we are praying that he sleeps for 12 of the 15 hours. He usually sleeps pretty good in the car so we are putting him to the true test! We will be in FL for 8 days. We are also going to head to Blountstown, FL we have lots of relatives that live here, they haven't seen Bo and Bo has two other new 2nd cousins that we will be seeing for the first time.

Some other new things Bo is doing:

Rolling over from front to back more often (he started in Dec, but that only lasted 2 days). He is also eating veggies now.

When we return from FL Bo will have his 6 month check-up! I can't wait to see where he is on the charts!

Happy Birthday Aunt Jodi!

Happy Birthday to my very Special Aunt!!!
We love you,
Bo
