Happy Summer! KJ is 6 months old

Summer is finally here and boy is it HOT!  I remember when I was pregnant and trying to imagine how KJ would be at 6 months, what things he'd be doing? How would he look? Imagining the boyish summer outfits and his cute hats.  I don't have to wonder anymore,  KJ is doing a lot he is sitting, pulling himself up to stand, attempting to crawl (he still has some work to do with crawling) and other little things he is doing.


We starting feeding cereal by spoon that has been interesting and messy.  He likes blowing raspberries thats his thing but for some reason when its time to eat thats when he does it the most, a baby spoon of cereal goes in and cereal mixed with saliva comes back out on my clothes,face, and my glasses!  It never fails.  When feeding time is over cleaning time begins, I have to scrub the couch, my glasses, his face, my face! We both pretty much need a bath when spoon feeding is done.


Life with KJ is blissful, He is still such a peaceful, happy, loving baby. Always smiling just a joy to have.  His sisters adore him and he adore them, every one who meets him adore him.  He's not a hands baby He likes to be free and do his own thing.  When Im holding him he starts scooting to get down, when he starts doing that we know what time it is.  Its time for him to go on the ground and explore.


He also loves to stand at first he was wobbly, then he just got stronger and stronger.  Now he pulls himself up and stands of course holding on but Its scary for me because I don't think he knows he cant walk.  He tries to let go of whatever he's holding or he just starts stepping off.  I know one of these days he will be able to do it but Im not sure what his rush is lol.  He's probably eager to run and play his sisters. I just have to always keep a close eye on him, I don't need him falling or getting hurt.  Kevin is no help all he says is HOORAH!!  "Hoorah" whatever! I don't want my baby falling but Daddy isn't worried only me....  :-(



Our Family went to Six Flags Great Escape Lodge Resort, We had a blast even KJ Had fun he loved the water! I originally wasn't gonna put him in the water, I remember when we tried with Leah around that age she was not a happy camper in the water. She cried while in the water and every time we tried to get her close to the water,  I guess because the water was cold.  Not KJ though,  He loved the water he played and splashed around, and when he was done he took his nap.


KJ sometimes reminds me of the Sour Patch Kids Commercial, you know in the commercials the sour patch candy does something mean and the owner is mad then the sour patch does something sweet and the owner gets all mushy yea! KJ!  He likes to grab our face wherever he grab he just pulls it close to his face then he gives the sweetest kisses you can think of, gets me every time.  I enjoy watching him grow and getting to know his little personality, watching him explore the world and new things it's just a breath of fresh air.




June was a great summer start, Kairi had her  first Piano recital.  I was so proud of her for going against her fear and playing in front of strangers, I cant wait until her next recital.  I love the picture of kevin giving Kairi the bouquet of flowers I would've missed that picture if it wasn't for my friends aunt. Thankfully she saw it and I was able to capture it.  Leah already says she wants to play the guitar, once she is old enough guitar it is and hopefully KJ will want to play an instrument the drums preferably... or the Piano... or whatever instrument he chooses.  Daddy wants him to play football which is... ok I guess, He can do more than one thing right?




Kairi's Music Teacher is great, Jennifer was made to be a Musician and a Teacher.  Anyone who can play more than one instrument AND teach others how to play especially children is gifted.  For more details about pricing and location contact me and I can get you the information.




These are two video's of KJ and Leah rolling the ball around and the other video is KJ splashing around in the kiddie pool.

Adventure Trek: Quest of The Guardians @ Six Flags Great Escape Lodge & Indoor Water Park.



My Blogger Friend Nichol Perez from Five Little Words blog needed coverage for the Grand opening of Adventure Trek: Quest Of The Guardians at Six Flags Great Escape & Indoor Water Park I did not hesitate on the opportunity. My family and I had the best time!

Disclosure: I was invited to this event as media,  I received a goody bag and complimentary overnight stay.  No other compensation was received, all personal views are 100% my own.
We checked in the night before the grand opening and received our goodies bags inside the bags were our magic wands for the  grand opening.   The Adventure Trek Wand is the key to becoming a Fun Factions Guardian, Once your wand is registered in your name your wand will remember each task you've completed and where you left off. With your wand you wave and point at objects to accomplish your game in Adventure Trek.
                                                   
MY DAUGHTERS ADVENTURE WANDS
       

    These two wands were my favorite out of the many cool ones that can be bought at The Adventure Trek Store.                                 
       

The morning of the grand opening we were up early excited and  ready to go.  We listened to the creators talk about the game, the adventures, task and  how it works.  Once the ribbon was cut we set off to our adventure.  Adventure Trek: Quest Of The Guardians is an interactive game for families to come together and help three teens Double Dare Dexter, Hurricane Hannah, and Billy Brains save Six Flags Great Escape Resort from the evil humdrums and  sludge monster trying to take away the fun.


This game is great for children of all ages, My 3 year old leah was having a ball with her wand, she was so into the game, she waved and pointed her wand at every game station, it didn't matter if it was her station or not.  Kairi my 10 year, Kevin and I  are competitive, we took this game seriously we were on a mission and we had to save Six Flags Great Escape Resort so everyone could come and enjoy this awesome adventure.





On the 2nd,3rd and 4th floor are where the treasure, task and missions are.  Everyone was up and down looking for their treasure, gems or completing missions.  There are three Adventures Funzerker, Splashateer, Imaginanut each adventure has 5 missions to complete, The missions were fun, some were challenging and made us have to put on our thinking caps.  For each mission completed you receive a Fun Faction Badge and move on to the next mission.








We had so much fun during our Adventure Trek Experience it's a  must do when Going to Six Flags Great Escape & Indoor Water Park. Going to Six Flags Great Escape Resort is a family vacation must, I cant wait to go back sometime this summer!
