The boys turned six months old on Tuesday and of course time as always is slipping away and I feel they are growing up way too quickly. Dawson has started to open his mouth and eat from a spoon really well and Phillip has begun to sit up for a bite and lunge forward. They are sitting in thier high chairs and bumbo seats when they eat. Dawson loves to smack the spoon and get baby food every where and Phillip focuses on eating but then proceeds to put his hands in his mouth and smear the food every where. Some days it's very easy to feed them other days it feels like they fill the laundry and trash baskets just cleaning up after them.
I finally got off grave yard and now I am working the 4pm to 12am shift at Santa Fe. Andy is in the midst of tournament time at the Golden Nugget and so he works only as a floor supervisor from 9am to 5pm. My mom watches the boys in the lapse between our shifts and usually we eat lunch or dinner together before I head off to work.
For Andy's first Father's Day I woke up with the boys to let him sleep, made the worst breakfast of all time, and gave him some special gifts. My mom had a hat customized for him that states "#1 Poppa" and on the sides "unstoppable and Andy" he loved it. He also recieved some work shirts and ties, some flip flops, and CD. The boys, my mom and I took Andy lunch at the Golden Nugget and you should have seen the people flock to the boys. The cocktail watresses were surrounding the stroller and then many players came over to see them. One Player Andy knows said that the sight of the boys was so beautiful, it made his millinium and that he was being inspried to write future poetry. I was really glad we made it down town to show off our babies on Father's Day, that was probably Andy's favorite part. We went out the Monday after to a steak house at Red Rock Casino called T-Bones. Father's Day was pretty fun. I can only imagine it will be more fun next year when the boys are over 1 years old. I am very much looking forward to the furure and all that holidays.
Wednesday the 23 of June Andy's Aunt Peggy passed away. It was sad news even though not to unexpected. I got meet his Aunt Peggy once and was delightful and ver very sweet!
The boys are startng to put thier feet in thier mouth and rolling and scooting when ever they can. It is getting harder to go out with out one of them crying. They enjoy being sung to, being read to, touching different textures and trying new flavors. They have mastered green beans, squash, carrots, and we are going to start them using sippy cups soon. They are sleeping from 9:30 to 5:30 or 7:30 and it goes back and forth who will wake up first.
Things are going pretty well and I am in love with my baby boys!
