Music to my ears!

Justin said you were laughing at another little kid the other night, but I missed it. Luckily, you were LOVING my friends little boy today at lunch. He was cracking you up the whole time, and I managed to get this video:

Giggles from Melanie Lafeen on Vimeo.

PS Is it just me -or does the blogger video take FOREVER?? I've given up.

Rollin', rollin', rollin'

You did it!




I put you down (on your back) this morning to get a bottle ready, and when I came back, you were on your tummy!




The first video I took was you struggling and almost rolling over -but after 2 days of waiting for blogger to upload it I've given up.


So, here's the quick version:

I think you were happier about it than you sound.



PS You have your two bottom teeth on too. I can't get any pictures, but they've been there (just little buds that keeping getting bigger, and bigger) for a week and a half.

What's on the menu?

Rice, Oatmeal and Whole Wheat cereal? Check.

Sweet Potato? Check.

Carrots? Check.

Applesauce? Not so much.

Pea's? No way.

I think we'll try peaches today.

As a side note (and to be able to add a picture)... your bumper pads came unhooked from one side the other day. Before I fixed it, I found you more than once like this...

Ahhhh Mess!

We started 'real' food this week, and so far, so good. You've done well with the rice and oatmeal cereal and you had sweet potato for the first time yesterday. I think we'll do carrots tomorrow, since I just steamed and pureed a bunch.

Tonight you were a mess! You had your first two course meal tonight (rice and sweet potato) AND water! I didn't do our usual mid-feeding clean-up, so this is what you looked like at the end of dinner.

I'll take average

I'm not sure why I haven't posted in so long. I think I kept thinking I was going to get your pictures done and I was going to post then that I waited. Almost a month!

Well, you've had a good month. You're getting a lot better (and faster) at rolling over from your front to your back towards both sides, -but you favor falling to your right. I think you're getting closer to rolling over from your back to your front, but you haven't quite made it yet.

You're a little jabber-box when you're in a good mood, and you do this grunting thing when you're concentrating on something or you're tired. You've been pretty sick the last 2 months - just colds and coughs that you can't seem to get rid of, nothing too serious.

You still LOVE to bounce and get a kick out of watching other kids -including yourself in the mirror. We've been watching the "Your baby can read" series and you like the videos a lot -I guess time will tell whether or not they'll help you read. You actually like watching ANYTHING on TV.

You really love music -especailly when people are singing. When you're fussy during Young Womens or Sunday School at church I walk down to the Primary Room and you always calm down when the kids are signing.

We were scheduled to take some 6 month pictures right before Mothers Day, but the day got rained out. I think we'll get to them in the next week or two and I'm sure they'll be awesome!

You went in for your 6 month checkup today. 17 pounds 2.5 oz and 26 and a half inches. 50% percentile for both height and weight. We must be doing something right.

Here are some pictures from the last month or so.
