Chad & Debbie Crowther: J Boy - 6 months and counting

Our Story

Welcome to our blog! Here's the quick and dirty about us:

Chad and I met on our first day of college at Utah State University. We started studying together, since we were in the same math class and lived in the same apartment building. But, those late-night study sessions quickly turned into excuses to hang out together. And that's how our story began. After two years of dating, we tied the knot on August 17, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We currently live in Tucson, Arizona. We moved here after living in South Florida for five years, where Chad graduated from medical school and completed his internship year of residency. He is now working for the University of Arizona completing a three-year anesthesiology residency. I was fortunate enough to keep my job from Florida and now work remotely from home. I am the manager of advertising and communications for the business school at Nova Southeastern University.

And--most importantly--Chad and I are thrilled to be parents! Our little angel Reece was born on Jan. 26, 2010 and our handsome little Jace was born on June 30, 2011. We are so blessed to be the mom and dad of such darling and sweet kids.

J Boy - 6 months and counting

Jace is now almost 7 months old...so I figured I should give you a quick update about how big he has gotten in the first half year of his life. In so many words, our little J Boy is "fat and happy!" As the photos below so clearly demonstrate, Jace is always smiling and is a great eater! :) He's all about the fruits and veggies these days. And of course, still loves his rice cereal and oatmeal. He drools like crazy, but hasn't cut any teeth yet. At his 6-month appointment Jace weighed in at just shy of 20 pounds. (And now that he's almost 7 months, he's well over 21 pounds!) He was in the 88 percentile for weight and was in the 97 percentile for height. He is a big boy! He is a great sleeper, going for about 11 hours at night and taking 2 naps during the day. He loves to sit up all by himself now, and has finally mastered rolling over. He's such a sweet, patient, and mellow little guy. He adores his sister! And he's starting to say "mamamama," which melts my heart! Love this hunky chunky boy!
