1st Thanksgiving

Here's Deion trying to sneak a piece of meat

We had our very first family Thanksgiving together and it was perfect (because Will did all the cooking)! I came home from work and the table was set with dinner. The boys had been busy cooking all day, and I must say the Turkey was the juciest and best Turkey I had ever ate. Will had smoked the Turkey and he was very proud of his smoke rings and so was I! It was so good that Deion even wanted to eat some. He tried very hard to get to it as you can see from the pictures-maybe next year baby!

6 months old

Having dinner at Azteca for Jose and Deion's B-day

Deion is 6 months old today and he has accomplished so much in so little time. He has learned to sit up on his own, start eating solid foods, laughs and giggles, has taken a big boy bath, and has even sprung a tooth! He can also roll but he still hasn't rolled from back to belly yet and it seems like crawling or actually, scooting, is going to be his next feat. He likes playing with his toys and when he's on his belly, he will turn around and do a complete 360 on his belly to look at them all, he just can't go forward. He also loves to get anything and everything into his mouth expecially our remote controls! I even bought him his very own, but there is no fooling this little boy because he will still throw a fit to get our remote into his mouth!

Splash Splash Deion's takin' a bath

We decided to take off the holding mesh from the infant bath tub so that Deion can sit up instead of lie down, because he would always try to sit up anyway. Will did this yesterday and I missed his first "big" bath. Will told me he was splashing around so I just couldn't wait to give him a bath today. Oh my was he splashin'! He was just going crazy with the water and loving it. We were having such a good time that I just let him play in the water for a while and by the time I went to record, half the water was already gone. Will was in the back making faces, that's why he keeps looking up in the video and smiling. He was so tired after his bath that he slept like a baby afterwards-what a great way to wear him out!

Hair

Bed Hair

My little spider killer

Okay so Deion's hair is getting a little out of control. It just keeps getting longer in the top middle part of his head and no where else. I asked Will if I can just clip a little off the top, but he said absolutely not, he doesn't want me touching his hair. I'm going to have to start buying this kid hair product-he's going to have his own gel bottle at only 5 months old! It does get really cute though with all the curls on top. I hope it stays like that.

Happy Halloween!

Scary lil' guys

Are you thinking Chilis tonight?

Look what we found on our doorstep

When I got off work at 5:00 on Halloween, I rushed home to get me and Deion ready. Well I had bought his little Dino Costume (he was going to be Deion the Dino) like a month ago, but when I went to put it on him-it was too tight! I called both FM stores to see if they had a bigger size but they didn't so I thought our Halloween was going to be ruined. But thankfully I searched Craigslist real quick and a lady was selling this Chili Pepper costume for $9 and I was so lucky to get it last minute and our Halloween was saved! He looked so darn cute and we had fun with it all night. He was one hot pepper!
