You Crawled today!!




August 26, 2013...we have a crawling man in the house!
It was a long night. My once "sleeping through the night from 6pm-5am" child had suddenly turned into a teething "waking up crying several times in the night" poor sweetie sleeper. You got up at 1am, and then 3am, and by then I just took you into bed with me and nursed you till 6:20am. I thought maybe I could catch a few more zzz's, so I put you in your crib happy and awake. But you were being so cute "talking" that I soon realized I wasn't going to get anymore sleep that morning, so I got up and walked towards your crib. I noticed you were up on your knees doing this wobbly froggy pose, and you lurched forward and bonked your head on the bars (but you didn't cry!) I couldn't believe it! You just crawled in your crib!! So I quickly took you out, put you on your floor mat, and you did it again. I caught it all on camera. It's just amazing what a day difference makes. You didn't show any signs of crawling yesterday. And here you are today crawling. And not only that, but the difference you made throughout the day. Today was my busy day teaching (1-6pm), so by evening time when I was done, you were crawling much better and faster than you were this morning. Such a strong boy!
Today you also had your first modeling gig for Eco Sole Essential organic clothes. You modeled some hats. There will be a photo shoot in her studio in the near future, but today she got an idea of what size head you have. You were the perfect model. And such a cute one too!

20 weeks old!


 We visit our sheepy friends up on our lot quite frequently. You love looking at the chickens, sheep, lambs, and dogs. You love animals!

 My favorite quote from Austin Powers...
Meeting your newest BFF Phoenix Lee. Amazing what a 4 month difference makes!

You are blowing raspberries. You love jumping in your jumperoo and johnny jump up (we always said we would never be those people who filled their house with plastic crap, but somehow we did!) You and I have a new routine where we take a 2 hr nap together in the afternoon. You won't take day time naps very well unless you are worn in the ergo baby carrier or sleeping and nursing with me. So I figure, hey! I could use a 2 hr nap too! I think I like this new routine!

Oh my, is time flying

 June 23, 3 months old!

 So into your toys now


 You found your nose hole when we were out at dinner for Tutu's birthday
 Old enough for Johnny Jump up
 You rediscovered this crib and enjoy hanging out while mama cooks in the kitchen
 The solution to the stroller/carseat aversion....a stroller you can face forward in! You love it!

I'm gunna get you face

I haven't been good about blogging lately! Here are some photos from the past month. You are now 4 months old and ALL about your toys. We just got you a "command center" jumperoo that you love. We have various play mats and stations throughout the house to "mix it up" for you during the day. You talk constantly and I swear the other morning you were singing in your crib. At least, you were "talking" with a more musical tone! You are still my early bird. You like to go to bed by 6pm and you wake up every morning at 5am by talking happily in your crib. I usually pull you into my bed at 5am and nurse you while we snooze till 7am. You LOVE being outside. You get in the zone and just take in all the scenery. You laugh and giggle all the time. You have discovered that your voice has power...you cry, I come right to you, you smile and are thrilled by this power! I bought 48 Berenstain Bear books on ebay (my favorite books as a kid) and we read one or two every day. You are just my little sweetheart and I love you so incredibly much.
