Hoyer is half a year old! These last six months have flown by and I can only imagine that his next six will go even faster. Where did the last six months go? Feel free to take a look back on the blog to check out where the time went! Just scroll down to older posts or use the blog archive tool on the right.
Here is a quick recap:
February: We waited and waited and he finally came February 18th. The Gills were in town and we enjoyed getting to know Hoyer. He loved sleeping on dad's chest.
March: Lots of friends and family visited, The Benefields from Tuscasloosa, Kacy Benefield from Chicago, Brad Israel from Italy (at the time) and Sidney Rue from Birmingham.
April: We got into our own routine and Hoyer got his first stamp on his passport to Belgium. He also took his first plane ride and went back to the States to meet great grandmothers BB and Grano and lots of other friends and family in Alabama and Louisiana.
May: We celebrated our my first Mother's day in the states, Hoyer survived his first tornado warning and flew back to a very happy Kyle. Hoyer went to Spain and touched his toes in the sea for the first time. Hoyer rolled over for the first time.
June: Hoyer was baptized and we had a party for him at our flat. The Gills came to London all the way from Costa Rica, Minnesota and Louisiana. We had a fantastic time. It is so nice to have family visit!
July: Hoyer celebrated his first 4th of July and he went to France, his 5th country! Hoyer started solid foods. Hoyer rolls to get places- he is a steamroller!
August: Hoyer begins to show signs of crawling and no longer needs a boost in his jumparoo. His legs are long and he is wearing 12 months size clothing. He sits up unaided. (but not for long!) We will celebrate Hoyer's half year birthday with a picnic in Kensington Gardens. Hoyer will go to Scotland to visit his namesake island, The Isle of Hoy on Friday.
