St. Patty's Day in Chicago

It was my first weekend away and what better way to spend it than by hanging out with my girls! Ben stayed home and had some quality "Daddy-Barrett" time while I lived it up in the big city. I loved every minute of it! I rode down with Andrea and surprised Kate who flew in from Miami. Friday we went to a nice restaurant and then went to a local establishment before calling it a night. Saturday we went out and shopped and then saw the green river. The rest of the day we spent in more local establishments and met up with some of Rachel's friends. Overall the weekend was great! I am still smiling about it. Girls, we have to do it more often!!

Six Months Old!!

Barrett is now six months old. Whoa! Time really does fly! He's finally over his cold, but still has a lingering cough. He's back to his happy self, though, which is great!

Here are his stats at 6 months:
::Sleeps about 8 hours each night with naps throughout the day
::Eats 5-6 meals of breasatmilk each day
::Has started eating solids (rice cereal and peas)
::Has his two bottom front teeth
::Loves to make razz sounds with his lips and drool
::Can sit pretty much unsupported
::Can roll all over the place and pull his body where he wants to go
::Makes great baby noises
::Weighs about 22 lbs.
::Loves to look at mirrors
::Drools all the time
::Will arch his back to get off your lap (he loves his tummy and sitting time!)

He's a solid little man with a lot of energy! He's just perfect!
