Fun in Breck with the gang!
The gang spent 3 nights at a mountain cabin up in Breckenridge over Memorial Day weekend. The kids had a blast! (so did the grown-ups)

Toast Art
Mike and I have been trying to make breakfast more exciting by creating various works of art with toast and jelly. The "pyramid" is Mike's latest masterpiece.
A gaggle of kiddos
We tried to get CJ in this pic so all the kids would be together, but of course he was having none of that.
Papa and Grandma visit!
Papa and Grandma helped tremendously with our landscaping projects!
Papa and Levi have lots of quality time

NEW HOUSE!
It is now official! We closed on our new house last Wednesday. We currently are the proud owners of 2 houses, or as Mike puts it, "We have an empire!" Hopefully we will only own 2 houses for a short time, as we are putting a lot of work into our current house to get it ready for market VERY soon. We are moving into the new place in mid-June. Here are some pictures!!! We took a couple great videos - we'll try to upload those soon...
The boy is MOVING!!
CJ just started crawling about a week ago - April 14th. He had been working on it for quite awhile and it finally clicked with him that he had to move his arms forward! Once he got it, he was off! He now makes his way around the room and just a couple days ago actually climbed up the step from the family room to the kitchen on only his 2nd attempt. Then he continued to surprise us yesterday and pulled himself up to standing holding onto one of the toy baskets! All of the sudden I look over and he's standing up! It's quite exciting to see him mobile now, as it's opened up a whole new world to him and you can just sense the curiosity and adventure in his every move! Unfortunately, CJ's also had a few Ted Kopple topples and Bryant Gumbel tumbles, but he recovers fairly well.

CJ - 6 month checkup
CJ visited Dr. Perry and again received a clean bill of health!
Here's his stats:
Weight - 16 lbs. 7.5 oz. - 25%
Height - 28" - 90%
Head - 17.25" - 48%
We've started rice cereal with him and also just added carrots and green beans and he just gobbles it all up! Hopefully we won't have the same "eating" issues with CJ that we did with Levi. It's funny that his weight is only 25% because he is seemingly hungry ALL the time and eats a lot!
CJ is very close to crawling, but seems to want to walk more than crawl. When on his stomach, he'll do a full body push up and rock on his toes. He wants to stand a lot and even takes little steps holding onto our hands.
CJ has also become just a ROCK STAR SLEEPER!! All of a sudden, he just started sleeping from about 6:30-7pm all the way until 6:30am!! Mommy is finally getting a full night's sleep! YEAH! I'm preparing myself for this all to change when those teeth finally come in, but for now, I am eternally thankful and grateful!
Our littlest man is just a joy now - smiling, laughing and cooing most of the time and being extremely tolerant of his big brother's attempts to show his strength. CJ endures lots of smacks on the head and too-hard hugs that end up in what we call "take -downs"! We are slowly and patiently trying to teach Levi to be gentle, but it's a long process. However, there are many times when Levi will give him a toy or hug him nicely and we just relish those sweet moments.
