Babies R Us threw up in my house

It's been awhile since the last post, so here's a few pics from the last week or so. He gets funnier and cuter everyday! I think we are in full blown teething mode now, which is soooo NOT fun, but hopefully he will cut a tooth soon here. Gotta love the milestones! Oh, and as a shout-out to the title of this post, my house is seriously bursting at the seams with baby crap. I don't think it's ever going to get better, at least in the next,oh, 20 years? Oh, motherhood.

Didn't know which toys to pick, so we had them all out. He loved it!

Big boy in his new sneaks,  but they made him angry when he couldn't get the whole shoe in his mouth.

We had a few nice days here in the burgh, so we got to finally get out of the house for a walk. It was the first time in the stroller without the infant seat, and it was a hit!

And we fell asleep on our walk. You can't see this in the picture, but he had each of his hands on one of his toys. So sweet.

First time in the high chair! Also a big hit.

Like father, like son.

Man VS Spoon. Still not sure who won that one.

So close to crawling! He pulls up his knees now and squirms all over.

Love this sweet, sweet face!

First day of sweet potatoes. HA. Not a hit. He spent most of his time gagging himself.

Playdate with Amanda and Luke! The boys were cute together...they are only 3 days apart and look like they could be related. Its funny how different their personalities are, too!

5 months

I've said it before, I'll say it again. Time is flying! It's so hard to pinpoint exactly what changes with him everyday, but he just seems so much older. We introduced cereal and the exersaucer this month, and the exersaucer was the biggest hit. (Pictures below) We had to switch from rice to oatmeal cereal, and he does seem to enjoy eating from a spoon finally. He is starting to try to sit by himself (also below) and can do this for a few seconds before he folds himself in half and balances that way. This is a great position for him, since he does have a newfound love for his newly found feet! He loves talking, and he's been laughing more and more. He has started to love tummy time since he's been rolling from his back to his tummy, and now he squirms a lot when he's on his belly, making us think he will try to crawl soon. He's been a great sleeper this month, too. Good naps during the day and still sleeping all night! I have been blessed with a good baby.

I feel like I only ever talk about the baby, but life changes happen for me, too! I joined a MOPS group that meets in our community, so not only do I get out of the house but I have met several moms in my community, one living just down the street! Such a blessing!  It has been a struggle for me, especially during the week, when I am home a lot by myself, with my husband working late hours. It's so easy to feel isolated also when its winter and you can't go anywhere, and being a new mom is such an adjustment. I feel like it's also hard to meet new people, but God provided such an answer to prayer! I'm looking forward to getting to know some of the women.

Thanks, mom, but I'd rather eat from my bib, no spoon required.

I think this face says it all!

Ah, I can finally reach my feet!
