Sleepless nights

I've been keeping mommy and daddy up every night for the past 3 weeks. They transitioned me in to my crib. Little did they know that was a BIG mistake. I am one strong willed little boy. That, or I'm teething. When in doubt, blame it on the teeth. I wake up every 1-2 hours. I've been told it's a good thing I'm so darn cute because around my house, we're known as the house of the dead. Mommy prays every night for God to cover me with His big, soft blanket of sleep at night...that, or patience, energy and lots of love.

5 Month Milestones

Hi Everyone. Yesterday I turned 5 months old. What? No way you say! Yup...it's really me. It's been a busy 5 months. Here's what I've learned recently:
1. To laugh and blow bubbles
2. To consistantly roll over from tummy to back and roll onto my side from my back. This means I enjoy tummy time now.
3. To taste rice cereal...this is on hold because mommy fed me too much sweet potatoes the other night and I spent the entire night throwing up. Boy do I know how to scary my mommy and daddy. I've never seen them move so fast.
4. To sit up...well, almost. I can sit up unsupported if I"m sitting on someone's lap (mommy says this is because my legs aren't out straight like they would be on the floor).
5. To sleep without my swaddle.
6. To sleep in my crib. We marked my 5 month birthday by making this transition from my hammock to my crib. I'm still not so sure about this one and it's a work in progress. Mommy got 3 hours of broken sleep last night but I did better than suspected.
7. Mommy and Daddy can carry me on their hips when we go places which is good because they always grunt and strain when trying to carry me in my car seat now.

Well, I'm off to meet some new friends. Have a great day!

My new toy

I want to introduce you to my new toy. Daddy and Mommy call it my foot. Well, this "foot" has 5 things on the end of it that taste really good. I've been trying for the past few weeks to get those darn things in my mouth and FINALLY I've consistantly got it down. I must have a tasty foot because everyone I know tries to eat it too.

I think I'm pretty darn talented if I do say so myself. And pretty darn cute too.

Can you find the monkey?

Mommy thinks she's SOO funny. You can see how amused I am. Hmm...

Daddy says moms are special people...I agree

What a special Mother's Day. I gave mommy the best present I knew how...I slept for 10 straight hours so she could get some good sleep. I was quite tickled with myself. We had 4 generations together for the special day...3 generations of mothers.

I helped Daddy pick out some flowers for mommy. The yellow one's were my favorite. I couldn't understand why they wouldn't let me eat the flowers though.

Happy Mother's Day to all you moms out there. What a wonderful gift it is...to be a mother.

Peek a boo

Hey...this isn't milk!

I went to the Dr.'s last week for my 4 month check up. Yup...4 months. He told mommy that I can move to big boy food aka Rice Cereal. I wasn't so sure about this white, cold stuff. I refused to open my mouth actually. But, once I gave it a chance, I decided it was lip smackin good.

On another note, I weigh 15 lbs. 14 oz. putting me in the 75 % for weight. And I am almost 27 inches long putting me in the 93% for height. WOW. No wonder mommy always makes daddy carry my carseat to and from the car. I'm a big boy.
