Birthday Celebrations

Over the past month and a half we celebrated 5 birthdays, and Leyton enjoyed taking part in all of them.

We first celebrated MeMaw's (Michael's Grandmother) 81st birthday. She absolutely loves babies and keeps telling us Leyton is too pretty to be a boy and she also kept telling us that he just needed to go home with her :)


Here Susan, Michael's aunt is holding Leyton while he acts silly-it looks like he was playing a piano.
For my birthday Michael and Leyton got me a big balloon-Leyton loves it!!!!-a cake an orchid and a gift card to one of my favorite clothing shops. Here is a pic of the balloon.

On March 6th we went to our friend Lincolns' 2nd birthday party. The theme was pirates and was such a great party! Leyton enjoyed watching all the little kids run around and was awed-as were we-with Lincoln's pirate ship swing set.



My Mom and her Sister put together a birthday party for my Grandma-Gran-Gran's 80th birthday. My Aunt, my cousin and her 3 kids(Clara and twin boys Chase and Reid) and my other cousins wife all came up and we celebrated all weekend long.


For Michael's 30th birthday, his parents took us to dinner at Brio in Southlake. Leytons favorite part was drinking from a straw and being able to see into the kitchen and see what all was going on.

First "Haircut"

Ok, so technically it wasn't a haircut, it was a mere trim, but it was still a memory worth capturing. Leyton's hair was starting to grow over his ears and he had a few long strands in the front that needed taking care of so one Friday when I was off we went to my hairdresser and she gave Leyton his first trim. He sat on my lap and was, uncharacteristically still for her.

6 Months Old



Half a year old!!!! I am never going to get over how quickly he is growing-never-it's going by soo fast. Last week we went for his 6 month check-up and the following are his stats:

Weight: 15 lbs 5 oz (25th percentile)

Height: 28" (last time they said 29"-but we found out they mis-measured) (80th percentile)

Head: 80th percentile

Doctor Robert said he is underweight but that he is not worried about him-he thinks he's going to be tall and skinny. Best news is that we are going off of prevacid and starting to slowly go back to similac-no more gold formula!!!

Leyton's newest thing is when we ask him where the fan is he looks right at it-regardless of where we are. Since he was an infant he has been and continues to be awed by ceiling fans. We've decided that will probably be his first word :)

Click below to see his 6 month pictures (he looks like such a big boy). He did much better for these pics. Thanks again Aunt Mina!!!!
