hank's 6 month pics

Hank Arthur Wettstein

Hank is actually 7 months now, but I am just finding the time to post his 6 month pics. He is sitting up on his own, and loves to sit with a basket of toys in front of him. He really isn't trying to crawl yet, which is just fine with me. He is a super happy little boy. His sister keeps him very entertained. He is always watching her and she can make him giggle better than anyone. We all enjoy tickling him because he is very ticklish pretty much anywhere! It's great! He is still sleeping great. To bed at 8...up once to eat...up for the day around 8. How could a momma complain. Hank started eating baby food once he turned 6 months, and as you can tell from the pictures, he is doing great with it. He eats cereal in the morning, a fruit and veg for lunch and dinner and cereal again before bed. He is still nursing, but with all that food, not near as much. We continue to enjoy him and can't believe how fast the time goes...our baby is growing way too fast. We are forever thankful that God gave him to us! We love you bubbers!

corn corn and more corn

Uncle Curt and Aunt Larisa brought us three big garbage sacks of sweet corn. We sat outside one morning and shucked a bag of it before Ed got home. Lydia was actually a really big help. She thought it was fun and we got the whole bag done before Ed got home!! Hank slept for the first part of shucking and then we kept him entertained with a piece of corn that he chewed and sucked on. I'm pretty sure he got a kernel in his mouth in the above picture.

This summer has went by fast. Lydia turned 2 and some days definitely acts 2. She has been having some big issues with sleeping. We spend many many minutes/hours getting her to stay in her bed and go to sleep. She is also getting up in the night again and doesn't want to go back to her bed. So, we are running on a little less sleep than usual, but we're getting by.

Luckily, Hank is a great little sleeper. Lydia can throw a screaming fit outside his door, and he just sleeps right through it....thank you Lord!! He is 6 months old already and is so so happy. He is almost sitting up and has started eating cereal and fruits. He laughs all the time and is extremely ticklish! And he loves his sissy!!
