Couldn't Love Him More...

 Those bright happy eyes.

That cute bald head.

 Those happy squeals of delight.

His smile that lights up the room.

 Those big chubby cheeks.

And deep irresistible dimples.

I could go on forever.

I'm head over heels for this little guy!

As a Mom should be :)

Rice Cereal

There comes a point in every babies life...
When they sit up big in the high chair for the first time,
Dad ques the video-camera,
They sport a spanking new bib,
and eat solids for the first time!

We started off with good ole' traditional rice cereal...


Can you see his excitement? I'd like to think he knew what was coming...

 

The verdict? It was quite a messy. Scott still doesn't know how he feels about solids. 

We're going to try avocado next!

 

Please Mom, can I have some more?

Birthdays

So far August has been filled with lots of birthday celebrations!

3 of the 6 ladies below have August Birthdays...

And I love any excuse to go out and celebrate!

Here are some scenes from Krystle's Birthday lunch yesterday...

 

 

 the birthday girl!

5 Months Old!

Our sweet little guy is 5 months old now! 

Can you even believe it? Why is it time starts hyper-accelerating as soon as you become a parent? 

At the same time it feels like FOREVER ago that we actually had Scott. 

And I sure can't imagine life without these irresitable cheeks to kiss...

He is still long - 96th percentile at his last visit and wearing 9 month old clothes!

But I don't think he still qualifies as skinny. He has turned into a little chunk!

It's all relative, but he is rocking a great double chin these days. 

Especially compared the skinny frog-man he was the first couple months. 

These days besides loving the Jump-and-Go, swimming, swinging, and laughing at Mommy

Scotty can be found accompanying us on runs in the morning...

 Here is the close up of his expression in this picture...

He actually does in fact love the jogging stroller.

He is also quite the roller. Always on the go and trying to get things.

I had to move everything in our living room over and lay out the biggest blanket we had for him to roll. 

I put him in the middle and somehow he still ends up in places like this.

Gone are the days when I could leave the room and be assured he would be in the same place when I came back. 

I love this little guy SO much. I can't even explain. 

He is such a light and joy in our lives. I love being his Mom!
