6 month update and boy scouts

Addison turned 6 months old on the 20th. She weighs 14 pounds 7 ounces. She's starting to come along now. She turns over from belly to back and back to belly with no problem. Today was actually the first time that we saw her go back and forth. She likes sitting in her bumbo seating but still isn't getting the hang of sitting up on her own yet. She'll do it for a few seconds and then she'll start smiling and kick herself over. She's holding her own bottle and feeds herself bread or her butter cookies when she can. She definately has no problems getting whatever she wants to her mouth. We will be taking her to get her ears pierced sometime this weekend hopefully. Of course Josh has already told me that I have to hold her during it. :) She's done really good since she had her g-tube removed. We're only having to go to the GI every 3 months now. Her scars are even almost completely gone. You couldn't even tell that 3 months ago she had 3 different surgeries and was failure to thrive and having a hard time. She is short and small for her age but look at her mommy. (I'm definately not the tallest in my family.) :) And of course everyone STILL says she looks just like Josh. I guess Eli's still my only hope. LOL

Jacob and Eli have started Boy Scouts now. This is the first activity really that Eli has participated in. He refuses to do sports or even karate because he doesn't want people looking at him so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he will stick with this. He did very good in class with the other boys his age and didn't even look around to make sure I was in the room. (I tried to hide but still kept an eye on him. lol) Jacob of course was "c-ya" and took off as soon as we got there. He has no problems doing things on his own. I took them to Walmart last night to sell popcorn. Jacob of course did fine but I was a little worried about Eli. He had Gabe there so I think that helped. But he did perfect! A guy even came up to him and gave him some change and Eli said "do you not have any dollars?" :) I thought I was going to die laughing. But so far so good!!!
