So, like I said, I was impressed with all of the kid's behavior at the zoo. What I'm NOT impressed with, however, is my appearance. I mean, seriously, if anyone out there really loves me would you PLEASE nominate me for What Not to Wear? Obviously, by these pictures (and many others), I do not know what not to wear. I have never been a fashion icon but I used to think I dressed a little bit cute. These days I wear ugly unflattering shirts and I wear them repeatedly because I don't have anything else. I wear either old too tight jeans or new too loose jeans. My hair, now that's a tragedy in itself. I haven't had any color on it in about 8 months and that is oh, so obvious PLUS it's so long all I can do with it is braid it... it's very Duggar-like in style a.k.a, it has no style. I don't wear any makeup most days but I am beginnning to come to the realization that I'm of the age that NEEDS some makeup. What to do.. what to do. I didn't see anyone filming me at the zoo (stacy and clinton) so I'm still holding on to hope that I'm just not observant enough to see them. I was going to go shopping tomorrow but, since I got a ticket this morning going 72 in what I thought was a 70, I guess I'll spend my $250 on that instead. Great!
CREEPY!!!
We won't discuss why Goga was in a hurry!

Lilly the Sea Lion
This baby goat was so cute. He thought Lennox's bib was pretty tasty.
Good thing we snapped this picture because 2 seconds later, when Melanie politely retrieved her glasses, someone had a big fat fit. The fit throwing is in full effect lately. He gets really ticked off when you take things away.
Goga has so many accessories!
These guys are my favorite. They are gorgeous & HUGE!

On Friday, before Mardi Gras, we went to the Audubon zoo with my friends from work. It was an absolutely beautiful day and all the kids were so well behaved. I don't even think anyone cried! Very impressive. ok, wait, my kid cried. Only at first though. He threw a fit over Melanie's glasses... he was just testing the waters!

6 month stats
Weight: 18lbs 15.5 oz (75th %)
Height: 28 inches (90th %)
Head: ? (95th %)
Hopefully there is big brain in there.
I don't get how they determine what percentile each baby is in. I mean, I can clearly see the plot on the chart but I hear people say their 6 month old is in the 95th percentile for weight but they weigh less than Lennox OR they are in the 80th percentile for height but they are longer... is it really that subjective?

SIX MONTHS ALREADY?
I can't believe Lennox is 6 months old. I seriously can't believe how fast time flies. I have loved every minute with him, well, almost every minute! I don't have a picture to post today but I will tomorrow. He goes for his 6 month checkup and more shots. I can't wait!
Lennox is doing so many new things. He can kind of sit up by himself but if he leans too far to the right or left, he pretty much falls like a tree to the ground. I tell him to stick his arm out for balance but he prefers to catch himself with his face. He is starting to crawl but it's more of an army crawl and it isn't consistent. My dad and brother 'claim' that he's crawling... I'm not writing it in the baby book yet. He loves to eat in his high chair as long as you do not try to feed him anything green. He will spit peas and green beans right in your face. His favorite foods are pears & peaches I think. He likes bananas and avocados in the little mesh pacifier deal. It is so gross but he LOVES it!
He likes his jumperoo, his tiny books from Aunt Angie & Uncle Sammy (he prefers to eat them rather than have them read to him), his Nuk, rolling around on the floor, grabbing paper and crumpling it, and breathing treatments. Yes, he loves to have a breathing treatment... he's weird! He also loves to have water poured on his head in the bath tub. He doesn't even care if it gets in his eyes. Oh, and he likes to give sugar and pull hair.
Lennox is a very happy baby and I'm so thankful for that. The best thing he does, besides light up the room with his smile, is reach for me when he sees me. I couldn't wait for him to reach for me and it seriously does melt my heart. (I know... so cheesey)
What he doesn't like, besides green food, is having his nails clipped, his nose suctioned, when he can't reach something he wants, being woken up from a nap, and when his bottle is empty. That really makes him mad! Oh, and he's still not much of a fan of the carseat. He's a nosy fella and he doesn't like not being able to see what is going on.

College Savings
Since I've been trying to save money on groceries and household items, I've been cruising the internet for coupons, blogs, tips, etc. I started reading about Upromise on http://www.mommysnacks.blogspot.com/ Maybe I am way behind but this is the first I've heard of that program. Anyway, it seemed like a worthwhile thing to blog about and to sign up for. You register your grocery/drugstore cards like Winn Dixie and CVS to get percentages of your purchase deposited into your Upromise account. You can also register your debit/credit cards and get cash back at select merchants and for certain online purchases. Oh... AND you get ecoupons to use at your grocery/drug stores that accept Upromise. Your coupon amount is credited to your Upromise account. The only problem I have is that most of the stores that participate are not in my area... I wish we had Kroger and Albertsons! All of that Upromise money adds up to college savings. I don't know if you make any interest but you can use the money for your kids college (through a 529 plan or just allowing it to sit in your Upromise account), to repay your own student loans through Sallie Mae, or apparently you can have the money in your account sent to you (don't know the details or penalties associated).
