There’s a first time for everything. Yesterday was Viking’s first time to feel the grass on his tiny toes. He felt it with his chubby fingers, too. It intrigued him.
So fun to see a new little guy discover the world around him.
It was his half birthday yesterday. He’s six months old! Seems like just a few weeks ago when I couldn’t see my feet and was whining about not being able to get out of bed. My little 9 pounder has already doubled his birth weight. He’s wearing size 12 months and already saying ‘mama’ and ‘dada’. Yesterday he sat up for the first time on his own (we put him on the couch and he didn’t fall over).
All these new milestones… and the baby book is empty. I never can find the time to sit down and write it all down. Hmmph. Well – at least I’m taking pictures.

You don’t have to post a T if you are in a different spot in the alphabet, though – just share what you have! There’s a link to find out more about the meme on today’s post. I have enjoyed the challenge to take alphabetical shots. How about you?
Baby toes are so darling! I can relate to the empty baby book syndrome. My oldest's book is FULL and my second-oldest's book is pretty full but the last two… wellllll, their names and birth stats are in there! Oh well… how does that saying go? A picture is worth a thousand words!? You are ahead of the game when you look at it that way!
Adorable!!!! I can't believe he is 6 months old already…and can you believe that I have 3 grandsons? Wasn't I was just homeschooling their daddies yesterday? (((Hugs)))
He looks just like daddy in that last pic!
Wonderful finds here! Also, I found something interesting I thought I would share, I wrote about it this month…
DÉCOR TIPS & QUIPS from AlphabetPIX.com
Bringing Out Your Inner BOLD!
Bill Blass said, “Style is primarily a matter of instinct.” Decorating takes on a new meaning for each individual. Clever and chic for Janie may be yesterday’s yawn-fest for Carol. Different tastes in dècor mean different furniture, artwork and color palettes. So what is the rule of thumb for making your place zing if it’s not a certain style, pattern, or color?
Bold, baby! Bring out the Y-O-U!
Boldly say what you want to say when designing a room. Make a statement and let your personality shine through. If you go in for the palest blues to soothe and relax, add a custom zing to make it pop! Love black and white photography? Maybe even some of that ultra-hot photo alphabet wall art in black and white? Splash in some passionate pink or revved up red on the wall to make it sizzle.
No longer are walls content with neutral shades. Any color of the palette goes! Splash on muted melons or eccentric eggplants with savvy sage. Classic colors cozy up with velvety crimsons and Dijon yellows. Color is fantastically bold and beautiful! Rich textured throws, swags, rugs and runners jazz up every room, every time.
Patterns are all the rage now, too. Twists and twirls, paisleys and pearls! Did you ever in a million years think of dotting stripes and striping dots? Designers these days are pulling out all the geometrical stops. Paisley mixes with all sorts of combinations-checks, polkas, and weathered solids. Discover a new way of looking at the world around you in different shapes and designs.
Mix it all with gorgeous gilding in silver and gold. Toss in a few well-chosen accents-bold and beautiful. And with the trend of decor becoming more and more personalized, a meaningful piece of photography will make you feel right at home. Black and white as well as the historic look of sepia photography looks gorgeous in any room. Add all these ingredients together, and you’ve got yourself a decorating design that not only expresses your individual style but does so as personally and beautifully as you want it to.
Whatever you want to say while decorating, say it with your own personal sense of style. Put it out there for the world to see and don’t look back! Embrace your individuality whether your nature is “Janie jazzed” or “Carol calm”. Express yourself! When people enter your home they’ll shoot you a complementary smile, knowing it looks and feels sooooo perfectly like you. And no one can do YOU better.

Awwww, what a handsome little guy!!
(And I believe the baby book for my nearly 4 yr old son is completely empty also!) As you say, I'm taking lots of pictures! Perhaps some day I'll use some of the pages from the baby book and make some scrap book pages with the photos. 😉
