Arrr ye Babies!
Half a Year!
Today is Chandler’s 6 month birthday. It’s a little confusing because he was born on August 30th and so his 6 month birthday should have been on February 30th. But in case you hadn’t noticed February decided to end early and March is having to pick up the slack.
I thought today would be a good day to go back through the archives and reminisce on all of Chandler’s greatest moments. This post will kind of be like when your favorite sitcom does one of those highlight episodes that doesn’t show you much new content but basically rehashes a lot of old content. At first you’re like, “Oh man, I don’t want to watch a bunch of re-mixed re-runs of this show. I want a new episode!” But then after a few good highlights you sit back and think, “Man, I forgot how AWESOME this show is.”
Okay, here goes. This first picture was taken on the day Chandler was born.
See how gentle I am as I hold my baby. Oh, wait…that’s a Mt. Dew. As you can see I was pretty excited in this picture because I hadn’t had a Dew all day. Also my wife had just had a baby.
In this next picture Chandler and I are perfecting our father/son “toss the skittle into your baby’s mouth” routine. We’ll soon be taking it around to county fairs and carnivals.
And who could forget when Chandler grew his first French Fry Mustache?
And what about that time Chandler lost his hand in a horrible pumpkining accident!
Don’t worry, it grew back.
During the last 6 months Chandler has shown us he is a pretty talented guy. First he proved to be quit the little trumpet player. Listen to him as he toots his own horn (with Mom’s help).
We’re not sure where he got this from, but apparently he is a good rapper.
He’s also a board game mastermind.
He’s had a lot of firsts, like Halloween…
…bathing…
…and solid food…
Chandler has done quite a bit in his first 6 months. But his most favorite thing to do is PLAY!
It’s been a great 6 months, but this is only the beginning.
Chandler is on Paci-FIRE!
I’ve spent a lot of time writing about what an amazing son I have. I always try to avoid the appearance of bragging and instead I try to give off the impression that I am simply documenting my child’s progress.
“He’s 3 months old and he’s turning over. Is that different or something?”
“Oh he just happens to be crawling at just 5 months. Is that not normal?”
“My son is 6 months old and he’s writing his memoirs. Neat, huh?”
But we all see right through my crap and know what I’m doing. I’m bragging. I carry my son into social situations just looking for a chance to show him off. Remember when you were a kid and you got a new remote control car and you would walk up to a group of your friends hanging out in the neighborhood and you would set down your car and let it rip all around their feet? That’s kind of what I do with Chandler.
