Baby Showers-Memory can

Today I am linking up with Kelly's Korner's Show Us Your Life-Baby Showers. 

I loved the baby showers that Thomas was given by our friends. Here are some cute ideas from Thomas' baby showers. 



My extremely talented friend, Kristen, made this cute memory can filled with brag books and super cute note cards/tags that are on a metal ring to write down all of Thomas' firsts.  She used a clean paint can, scrapbook paper, and ribbon. 


Kristen also made cute clothespins to display all of Thomas' cute outfits that he received at the shower. Kristen used ribbon, double stick tape, and clothespins. 


Friends wrote messages on Thomas' diapers during the shower. 


Thomas' diaper cake!

All of my friends at my school also gave Thomas a baby shower.  They made me a "Words of Wisdom" book, and everybody wrote us messages. I couldn't find the picture of the book on my computer. 

Keep the faith,
Lauren

Future Star on Swamp People


One of Brandon's favorite TV shows is Swamp People, and he can't wait to hunt gators since we will live in Mississippi now. Brandon thinks Thomas is ready to hunt gators too! He has cute little gators on his shoes. Thanks Peggy and Charlie for the adorable little shoes. Thomas loves to look at them while he wears them!


Brandon's lil gator hunter!


Hope you enjoy all of the pics of our little T Buddy!







"Mom, why won't you let me go hunt gators with Daddy?"




Keep the faith,
Lauren




Mr. Handyman!

Brandon recently put together Thomas' crib and high chair! Yes, we know that Thomas is almost 6 months old.  We didn't want to put his crib together until after we moved to Mississippi. 



Thomas LOVES chillin' and sleepin' in his baby bed!








He also enjoys spending time in his highchair (I think he has figured out it is time to eat when he sits in it!)


This is the face Thomas makes when he is concentrating or working hard while playing with his toys!



Keep the faith,

Some of my favorite 5 month pics!















Keep the faith,
Lauren





5 months old!

Thomas, you were 5 months old on July 23rd!


You haven't been weighed since you were 4 months but we can tell that you are gaining growing and gaining weight! You are eating 6 oz every 3 hours during the day and rice cereal 2-3 times a day. You have tried apples & rice cereal this month, and you LOVE it!



You are still wearing 3-6 months clothes and size 2 diapers. 


You still love to chew on everything and anything you can get your hands on. 


You are a very happy baby except for when you are hungry or sleepy!
You are still sleeping through the night the majority of the time (yeah!).


Favorite things: You love it when your daddy comes home from work, your exersaucer, johnny jumper, and rolling around on our bed!


You love it when we imitate all of the sounds you make!


Firsts: celebrated your first 4th of July, first bubble bath, tried apples & rice cereal,
slept in your baby bed. 
We moved from Texas to Mississippi. You were amazing in the car for the 7 1/2 hour car ride. We only had to stop 3 times!


You love to watch our fur babies now and are starting to reach out to pull their hair pet them. 
In the next three pictures, you would not take your eyes off Molly, one of our fur babies. 




Thomas and Molly





You love to sleep, play, and sit in your baby bed!


You are working on sitting up all by yourself. You can usually sit by yourself for a few seconds, and then you fall over. 




You still love to play with your feet!



We can't not believe that you are already 5 months old! 
We love you so much precious baby boy!



Keep the faith,
Lauren
