5 Months

Last month I was a week or so late, this month I'm a day early! Score 1 for this SAHM!
Our baby is 5 months! He is more and more amazing everyday.  Here's what he's up to...

  • Still fascinated by Buckley- follows him wherever he goes
  • Still a rolling, although prefers being lazy on his back
  • Still fighting nap time.  Like his dad he needs to be on the move CONSTANTLY
  • Maybe teething?  Maybe growing? Can get super fussy, gets super hungry before bedtime, hands or whatever is always in his mouth, and super slobbery.  (Super is the key word of this blog post, my adjectives (adverb?) (none of the above?) are failing)
  • Is SO SO SO close to sitting on his own.  Can waiver there for about 30 seconds until he falls to one side or the other.
  • New playtime activity is his exersaucer.  Still figuring it out, but loves slobbering over everything
  • Reaches and grabs for objects.  Especially my cell phone (kids these days...) and drinks.
  • Prefers momma (hooray!), but still loves daddy. Pretty much it goes like this.... Buckley>Mommy>Daddy>Other People. True.  Buckley beats mommy.  Daddy can stop Lincoln from crying more than other people, Mommy can stop Lincoln from crying when Daddy can't and Buckley can stop ALL crying. Dogs rule.
  • Is in size 3-6 clothes minus pant length... still 3 months.
Other news is he finally met his Nana and Papa who came and visited for a week.  We got to do a lot of hanging out and Lincoln got spoiled with lots of love and gifts from them.  We went to Walla Walla for a day, the mall on another, and just hung out in beautiful 60-70 degree weather!


And so begins our monthly shoot and I realized maybe I should have gone about doing them differently...
Quickly trying to distract him from the letters I gave him his own special block...
Silly momma...
I'm a boy. I destroy pretty things!
And I do such a good job at it too!

This cuteness should hold you until next month...

Four Months!

Another month older!  Now that Lincoln is 4 months...

  • He can roll from his stomach to his back (& a few days after he was 4 months he started rolling from his back to his front)
  • He still LOVES bathtime
  • He loves to screeeech! and hear his own voice
  • He babbles while we drive in the car (naa naa na naa)
  • He loves toys and can hold on to them and move them from hand to hand and of course hand to mouth
  • Sleeps through the night! Like 9pm to 7am or 8am
  • At his 4 month appointment he weighed 12 lbs, 15 oz (6%), 23.25" (0%), and his head : 42cm (57%)
  • Loves Buckley- makes him smile and giggle almost always
  • Started to really smile this month and some giggles here and there
He's pretty amazing and we love him so so much!
