Let them eat....Toast


So, we've hit another milestone. Toast. While I love seeing the look in Christopher's eyes when he discovers a new skill or taste, I sometimes wish I could take him back a few months when he needed me more. He's just gowing so fast.

This week we let him try the toast while I make his lunch (another new addition to the meal routine). Anyway, the first day he just fed it to Cooper, on accident but still wasnt too interested. The next, it was gone in 10 minutes. Now, we've created a toast monster.
He creates a death grip on the poor little toast. That thing has no hope for escape

Christopher slobber and mushy toast make a form of cement on his face that is always such a joy and never a battle to get off!

I think he's sad each time the toast is gone. This day we were trying a new veggie, asparagus. Its like he smelt it coming.

I know he's beginning to hate the camera but when he's doing something he loves and I come around, I think he thinks I'm there to take it away. This is the face I get.


I will post a new video soon....crawling. Life is changing in the Delcambre house and while change is good, it also reminds me that I better get to baby proofing!

Busy Bee

So I have been neglecting the blog lately but with sick kiddo, thanksgiving, C's dedication, Jonathan and I getting sick and just daily life its hard to take time to blog. I have tons of pics to post and will get those loaded this weekend but I just wanted to pop on and say "hi"!

Off, to go catch a newly mobile lil guy before he tries to take down the Christmas tree again. :)

Happy Half Birthday!


Its hard to believe Christopher is 6 months already. I have treasured everyday with my lil man and look forward to all he will show me in the months ahead. God has blessed our family more than words could express and although Jonathan and I knew that May 2nd would change our lives forever, I dont think either one of us knew just how much fun it would be!


We had his 6 month appointment yesterday. Thank goodness Daddy was there, I didnt want to hold him down again. Christopher was a trooper and barely cried. The nurses commented on what a handsom lil man he is. We agree but are totally partial. He only got 2 shots and I will take him back in another month and a half for the rest. His stats were:
weight: 16.6 lbs - 25% STILL
height: 27 inches - 75%
head: dont remember the number - 50%
Happy half birthday C!!!

Pumpkins everywhere!!

This week most of the pumpkin patches in the area opened. You know what that means, photo opps everywhere! We took C to his first pumpkin patch this week and although VERY windy, I think he had a good time. We have plans to attend a few more so stay tuned. For now, enjoy Christopher's first pumpkin patch.

Thanks Dad for his first Cowboy hat! I think its a perfect fit.

5 months old!

Today Christopher turns 5 months old. I cant believe he is that big. It seems like just last week I was trying to figure out how to manage a shower a day and get more than 6 hours of sleep a night.

We have been blessed with the sweetest baby!!

Today I took C to the Dr to get caught up on some shots (since we are delaying vaccs) and to have a little patch on his arm checked. All was well and it looks like we might just be dealing with a little dry skin irritation that wont go away or a mild reaction to starting cereal.

Of course I cant resist the opportunity to weigh lil man. Today......whopping 15 lbs. He gained over a pound and a half in a month but STILL only in the 25%. At least hes gaining weight, hes just a little guy ;)

Finally, Im busting out the awesome baby food maker mom bought me for mother's day to start with the foods next week. Look for pics to come!

Im off for a walk and snuggle time with my little man!

4 months and rice cereal


here is just a "taste" of the rice cereal adventure. I will post all the pics from the first (food) adventure soon! Enjoy, Christopher sure did!!
Before the adventure began -
After a bite or two, I knew we had a cereal monster on our hands -


Not sure if he ate or wore more -

if this isnt the look of satisfaction, what is? -
