 Ty you are almost 7 months old and can you believe it that you got your first haircut already! Yesterday you got your first haircut. You did a great job. We just had your hair trimmed a little bit around your ears because it was getting to long! You sat in your walker and chewed on a comb while Grandma Mary cut your hair. She even used the trimmers and you didn't mind the noise or anything. You look super cute with your new hair cut. Mommy didn't want to cut anything on top yet. I love styling your hair and couldn't cut that baby hair yet.

 This past weekend. We went on two bye-bye rides. First we went to the grocery store, then we went to target. You really enjoyed looking around at all the people, and all the stuff in the store. You didn't make a peep. When we were at the grocery store you mean mugged the cashier. Then at target when the cashier was talking to you, you hid in Daddy's jacket. It was cute, Mommy and Daddy noticed people in the store staring at you, and saying how cute that baby was! :)

 Mommy got this fun app on her phone that's a drum set and when you touch the different parts of the drum it makes sound and shakes. You LOVE playing that app on mommy's phone. You are quite the drummer. Maybe even better than your uncle. ;)

 Here you are playing with Mommy. We have a lot of fun playing together. You are always laughing and smiling.

This is your bear Buddy. You like to try to eat him! Not sure why but it's really cute! 

Here you are with our Jelly Fish "Stingy, Squishy, and Squab"

You try to touch the jelly fish. You could watch them swim around all day.

We even put the jelly's on the floor and you tried to crawl to them. You are not crawling around yet but you sure are trying. Daddy and I have fun crawling around the house showing you how it's done. You laugh at us crawling around every where! 

 In other news Daddy and I started sleep training with you. And you are a ALL STAR! First we set up your bedtime routine. We give you bath, you have a bottle and brown rice cereal, we go upstair and we sing you the ABC's twice, then we give you a kiss and put you to bed.

Bedtime Routine:

We are trying to teach you how to fall asleep on your own instead of Mommy and Daddy rocking you to sleep. Once we lay you down Daddy and I go downstairs and wait for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes we pick you up for two minutes, then set you back down for five until you have that golden moment and fall asleep on your own.

6:30 Bath
6:55 Bedtime, alphabet song (2 times) and kisses
