Wade is 6 months old

This is a very belated post for Wade who is almost 7 months old!  We also owe this page a picture of Wade and Bo in front of Wade's Sugar Maple which was just planted.  I hope to get that picture soon.  Life has been busy lately!

NOTE: added tree pics

Here's Wade at 6 months standing next to his Sugar Maple -  it's huge compared to Mc's maple!  Can't wait to see it in the spring when its leaves come in!

Does anyone else have problems uploading pictures on a patterned background? For some reason, blogger wants to flip this vertical.  

Oh Wade!  Why must you grow so fast?!  Every day that passes I feel as though I am reaching for something that has just escaped me - raising a baby is like that.  You are growing up right before our eyes, and life seems to be racing by like the scenery outside a car window.  We love you so much: your infectious smile, the way you grab our faces when we hold you close to us, your chunky legs and lack of ankles.  You are eager, sweet, and curious.  You're perfect, and we just can't get enough of you.  My oh my!  How I love having a baby in the house!

Headed out the door to church and you just couldn't keep your eyes open!

Some things I just don't want to forget:

- when you're laying on your back and you get excited, you start twirling your fists in circles both at the same time, it's so funny. 

- you also love to wave your arm in the air; sometimes you get going so fast I think you just might start to levitate

- at your 6 month check up you measured in the 95 percentile for length and 75th for weight
