Up & Away!

Nate can at least pull himself up to sit if he's holding onto something, like in his swing. Otherwise its a frustrating work in progress for him! He's getting closer though. Still not crawling/scooting around yet, not sure if he'll do either?! Not a fan of being on his stomach much yet at all. Sometimes at night he'll accidently I think roll himself over which he doesn't like! Although he does tend to sleep on his sides some now. He's getting bigger: 9 month clothes now.

Having a fun weekend celebrating daddy's birthday. Ta-ta for now!

Jumpin' Jack Flash!

Mr 5 and a 1/2 month yr old likes to use his legs even more now! You can't tell by this picture but he's in an activity gym sort of thing that has springs so he can jump up and down. He wasn't so sure about it at first but likes to do it now! Even when he's out of it and we're holding him he jumps up and down (feeling those arm muscles work!) Another new favorite activity is pulling on hair and giving kisses (sortive kisses : ) ). He's about 15 1/2 pds now. I think he's ready to master baby oatmeal soon,rice is starting to get boring I think.

Sadly thats about all thats new. Watching him jump though is hilarious.Have a good weekend!

Teething

Five month birthday boy is starting to teethe (I think!) I'm sure all the moms out there can agree that its hard figuring things out at first when different sources say different things?! Frustrating! Everything is always "I think..", at least the first time around! But thats what we're going along with. Hopefully Nate will find some comfort in teething rings,washcloths,gel,etc. Still eating rice yet, working on upping that more before oatmeal starts.

Its starting to get easier to take him out for longer periods of time, especially at least if he's in the stroller. He likes visiting the ducks and people watching at the mall. Now that his vision is improving more, he also watches Baby Einstein more closely and plays with objects on his activity centers. Lily hasn't tired of him yet either! She walks around his activity centers like a shark waiting to strike to give him kisses : )

We had a good time in Sedona. He did pretty well for the most part during the drive
(2-2 1/2 hrs long ea way). Any longer though and we would have needed to stop, he isn't quite a big fan of the car seat yet despite company in the back seat with him. He badly wanted to stretch himself out!

Until next time!

Happy 4th!

Going into the holiday week and shy of being five months old, Nate has gotten used to the rice cereal and is eating it more frequently. Sleeping at night is improving week by week: bed usually between 7 and 8 now, then wakes up once or so and is up between 5:30 and 6:30. Two naps usually now during the day. He still enjoys his walks outside and seeing new things (gets upset when they can't be in his mouth though!)

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy 4th of July, someone is hungry so I've got to run.
