Cullen's First Christmas!

I couldn't resist lots of pictures for this post.  Cullen was so cute and fun for his 1st Christmas.  When he opened his first present on Christmas Eve from Gramsie and Captain, he ripped the paper and bow off, but then tried to eat the paper and ribbon, of course!  He couldn't have been cuter.  We had a great  Christmas celebrating with our families.  

 Look at this present we found under the tree!

Month 6

Cullen had some special visitors during his 6th month.  Goedde and Drew came to surprise me early for my 30th birthday, and then Elizabeth came to surprise me as well!  Cullen had fun hanging out with my best friends! 

Cullen is really starting to move around.  He turns and rolls and scoots, but no crawling yet.  He lifts himself up on all fours, but doesn't know what to do!  Sometimes he goes backwards, which he isn't too happy about.  He's laughing so much and having fun playing with his toys.  He is still hamming it up for the camera.  

Month 5

Cullen's 5th and 6th months have been busy (hence the lack of blog updates!).  These are pictures of him at 5 months (6 months is coming soon - hopefully!).  Month 5 brought lots more eating of pureed foods... it is fun and so messy!  We also had a great Thanksgiving - we have so very much to be thankful for this year. 

Captain planted Cullen's birth tree - a dogwood.

Cullen's First Halloween

We dressed up as Star Wars characters for Cullen's first Halloween. He was the cutest Yoda, I was Princess Leia, Chris was Han Solo and even Porter got a costume and was Darth Vader.  We had so much fun dressing up.  Chris thinks this may be Cullen's cutest costume ever... we've set the bar high!

 Cullen's friends in the neighborhood.  It was a miracle no one was injured in the taking of this photo.

Month 4, Cont.

Since Cullen is almost 5 months old, here are some more pictures from the 2nd half of his 4th month.  He's grabbing at everything and trying out some solid foods.  He loves his new Baby Bjorn so I can carry him facing out.  He is rolling all over the place and is drooling like crazy - maybe some teeth are on the way soon!
