I can't believe how long it has been since my last post but I have been BUSY! Between the now...3 businesses (Scentsy, ViSalus and the NEW Velata by Scentsy), doing hair on the side and being a stay-at-home mom, it has been CRAZY lately! Thursday I did hair, Friday I had a Scentsy party, Saturday I worked my first Expo with ViSalus, Sunday I had another Scentsy party, Monday I did some hair, Tuesday Velata launched and I had a wake for one of my best friend's mom who suddenly passed away, Wednesday I had G's 6month well-check AND I was able to clear off the table that has literally been accumulating everything you can imagine (I should have taken a picture of it! But thank you G for taking a nice long nap and allowing me to clean it off COMPLETELY!), I also cut my mom's hair...and now today, I went to go see a friend and her baby who is in the hospital for a while, and I did hair tonight! I mean it just keeps going and going and going. I'm not complaining by any means, I LOVE being busy, but this is the first time that I can honestly say I'm completely exhausted from it all! Tomorrow should be a nice, relaxing day. :)
Yesterday my baby G turned 6 months old! Time definitely flies by! We had his 6 month check up yesterday and boy do I have a stalky chunk on my hands! He weighed in at 17lbs 6oz which is right at the 50th percentile, but then the height comes in...he is 25 3/4" which is in the 15-20th percentile. Oh, and you can't forget about his head, that comes in at a whopping 17 1/4" which is proudly in the 70th percentile. My boys have always had big heads. With these stats done, I think it is always fun to compare where T was at at the same age. Everyone always comments on how BIG G is, when really, he is just a little more...compact! Hahaha. Believe it or not, T was only 4oz lighter than G at 17lbs 4 oz. But T was in the 60th percentile for height! He was exactly a whole inch taller at 26 3/4"! And T's head? Well that came in at being in the 75th percentile; he was 1/4 of an inch bigger than G. So, they are VERY comparable, except for the fact that G is a bit shorter so he "carries" the chub a little differently. I personally love chunky babies. :)

I don't know about all the other Mom's out there, but I get emotional when it comes to my child's birthday month. T's birthday isn't until the end of May, but it just really hit me yesterday, when he wanted to go find some "friends" to play with outside. And he just walked down the side walk like he owned the street, turning around saying, "Bye Mama! See you later!" Seriously!? He's just going to leave me and not have a care in the world that his Mama isn't going with him? And before this, we were playing with chalk on the steps, and I wrote our names on each step. He asked me "WHAT are you doing Mom!?" As if it was so NOT cool. I told him, "I'm writing our names on the steps buddy!" He says, "THAT is so EMBARRASSING!" What? How does he even know what the word is, much less use it in the correct context, and HOW can I already be embarrassing my almost 3 year old!?! I was laughing hysterically, thinking back to conversations when I as growing up, about if our mom embarrassed us! We thought she did, but being I don't remember any situations at the top of my head, I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad! Ha! Anyway, now it's trying to figure out how we're going to work this whole "playing outside" thing through the summer months. I have one guy that will be napping, I'm sure, while the other one will want to be outside! Should be interesting! Here are a few pictures from today when he went outside. And notice the choice of attire...Wow! I think he covered it all! Lol!

| With all the pictures taken of G smiling, he's starting to want pictures of him now too. :) |

He had to take his backpack outside filled with his Kiki's, Dog, Bobo (the monkey) and random little animals. I love the 1 shoe on, 1 shoe off, sitting in 80degree weather with a sweatshirt on. As if the 1 shoe off would help him cool down a little bit!
