C-R-A-F-T- Craft Craft Craft ; )

So, as I've been looking back at my blog, very few posts 7 months have been about anything other than Bauer Man. Although he is the center of my life and blogworthy everyday of the darn week, I wanted to assure everyone out there that I am doing some other things as well!

I am helping to coach the cutest little cheer squad you've ever seen. Tualatin has a junior cheer team open to 3rd graders all the way up to 8th graders. They are super fun girls and it's even more fun for me to be cheering again! (my love for it has not even faded a little bit since high school-- i'm a dork)

WATCH THEM HERE! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNmykSwps4I
you can even see me waving my arms in front and Bauer being their biggest fan!

I saw this idea when I was looking online for some unique ideas...

Thanks to my mom and her left over quilting fabrics this project is not only a steal, but turning out super cute!

this is just on my table, not a pillowcase yet, which tells you how much work i have to do. I'm going to iron them on ans zig zag stitch them as well. They will also have "TJC 2010" underneath the girls' name. Hopefully they will be cute when they are all done!

we think he has BLUE eyes...

what do you think??

Growin' Up

Bauer and I took advantage of the clear day we were having and took a walk around the neighborhood. Bauer was excited to not have to go in his carseat for the walk, he got to ride in his stroller "big-boy" style!

Waitress...I need more!

Bauer is LOVING eating real people food...ok rice cereal and pureed veggies and fruits hardly counts as "real people" food, but don't tell him, he thinks we're good cooks!

(Notice in the picture below he is staring at his bowl on the tray- haha)
"HEY MOM, stop with the pictures and keep it coming!"
Bauer turned 6 months a week ago today-- i can't believe he's growing up so fast. His check-up went good- he dropped in his weight percentile, but he's got some quality rolls and it's typical preemie patterns so our doctor isn't worried about it at all:
14.4 lbs- 10th percentile
26 inches- 25th percentile
What does Christmas look like at the Silliman's with everyone there?
Now you know! haha. And below is me regulating the passing out of the gifts--
Christmas was sooo fun, my family is soooo fun! LOVE YOU ALL!

Here's Bauer with one of his favorite Christmas presents (of many! thanks to both grandmas!) We got him a few hand puppets from IKEA, he LOVES them and it's soooo cute. We seriously love this little guy soooo much, it's almost scary. I could just eat him with a spoon. We couldn't be more in love with him!
