Half a year old, already?!

Yes, little man is 6 months old today. Holy cow time really flies. What's next? High school?! :)
Today: February 25th...Declan is 6 months old!!
Weight: 15 lb., 8 oz+ (from last Friday)
Height: 26 3/4 inches
Things to remember...
-Can you say tall and thin? Mr. man is wearing 6-9 month shirts and 12 month pants. Future b-ball player?? I was really pulling for soccer.
-Moving on, my soccer dreams are still alive...Declan is constantly "running" his legs. Cute stuff.
-Declan has TWO teeth (and he's working on more)
-He loves sweet potatoes, rice cereal, bananas and natural applesauce. My parents call him a piranha because he attacks the spoon as it gets near him. Very funny stuff. I've gotten in a couple "laughing matches" with him...I'll start cracking up because of how he eats and then he starts laughing at me (food spraying everywhere, you get the picture).
-I love how he sits in his stroller. It's nice to ditch the snap in car seat and let him sit up. He holds on to his straps like he's on a roller coaster.
-Decs reaches for EVERYTHING. It immediately goes in his mouth.
-Thankfully, he still sleeps 8am-8pm but needs his pacifier popped in his mouth a couple times a night.

I can't believe how much they change. Just 6 months ago, he was this little peanut:


Now, he's this bigger peanut:

Ahh! We just ADORE this little man!!

Pres., DGFC

Yes, sir. I'm the new the president of the Danny Go.key fan club. He is seriously the BEST singer on Ameri.can Idol this season!! I'm predicting him to get the big win this season. He seems like an amazing guy and came to the try outs weeks after losing his young wife. I can't imagine the tragedy but you can hear the soul and emotion dripping from his voice. Check back in a few months and I'm sure I'll be excited about his big victory!!

Ashley needs...

So, this is hilarious....You go to google.com and type in your first name and then the word "needs". Then transfer over the first 8 things that come up.

Here's mine:

Ashley needs an escape.
Ashley needs you like she needs water in her lungs.
Ashley needs to get something off her chest.
Ashley needs to get a new agent.
Ashley needs a nap.
Ashley needs to take control of his club.
Ashley needs prayer.
Ashley needs Zac to reach out and touch her.

My favorite is FOR SURE that "Ashley needs you like she needs water in her lungs". Niiice.

Here's Declans:

Declan needs to be over on the right to be able to see everyone else.
Declan needs a good shower.
Declan needs to work on his bedside manner.
Declan needs to avoid nuance like the plague.
Declan needs Connor to show him the ropes.
Declan needs to gain 70 more Vampire points to reach the next level.

I was sort of guilty of wondering how some of my friends with kids had NO time. I felt like I'd be able to "do it all" and have plenty of time. Ha. I'm eating my words now...
