Jump! Jump! Jump!

Well, sort of. It's more like spin, spin, spin! Last night Mommy and Daddy went out and bought me a new jumping toy! We tired it out the second we got home...and I'd have to say...I love it!!! I don't quite know how to jump yet...but it's still fun to spin and play with my little bee friend!

This morning I woke up with a bad cough so Mommy decided to stay home and take care of me. At first she thought I was pretending so I could stay home and play in my jumper, but then I took a 3 hour nap and she knew I was telling the truth.

Hmmm...maybe I'll cough again tomorrow even if I am feeling better!

Spring Weekend!!!

Mommy had to work a couple hours this Saturday. Just as she was seconds from walking out the door, I decided to roll from my back to my stomach for the first time ever!!! (5 months, 1 day old) This then made Mommy late to work because she put all her stuff down to play with me! Both, Daddy and Mommy were so glad I decided to do it then and not 1 min. later!



Later that day we met Mommy at work and all went out for a nice lunch. Once we returned home, Mommy and Daddy discovered something...I'm now ticklish!!!



When we woke up Sunday morning, we saw that it was beautiful outside!!! Since I was born in November, I haven't gone on very many walks, or spent much time outside at all. So Mommy and Daddy decided it was a perfect day to go on my very first picnic! It sure was nice feeling that sun and spending time in the fresh air with my Mommy and Daddy!!!

Here's to family, weekends, and spring time!!!

Bye Bye OT...

It's good to have Daddy back on Saturdays!!!

Bobblehead Eric!

I think Mommy and Daddy have been watching too much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with me in the mornings. They sure were acting very Goofy last night! Just as they were about to give me a bath, they decided to take pictures of me with Mommy's silly lens! I now know why Mommy calls it her silly lens...we sure did have a lot of laughs!

Busy Week!

This past week was a very busy one for me!

Mommy and Daddy believe I am in the early stages of teething! For the past couple of days you'll find me either sucking on my fingers, or sticking my tongue out at you!!!



As if that wasn't big enough, I've learned how to roll from my tummy to my back!!! Ever since I've been born I've hated tummy time! I won't last but two minutes before I let out a cry for Mommy or Daddy to come save me! Well, the other night they decided to give me tummy time yet again. This time I had a little more fun with it. I used my arms (for the very first time) and I balanced on my belly (with my arms and legs slightly in the air). Mommy and Daddy couldn't believe their eyes!

The next day (March 19, 2009) Mommy came to spend time with me on her lunch break. (Daddy had a meeting so he couldn't' make it.) Once again, Mommy decided to give me belly time. This time, I took it a step further and rolled over for the very first time!!! Mommy and my teacher both screamed at the same time! They were so excited! And I must admit...I was pretty proud of myself!

That night Mommy tried to get me to do it again for Daddy to see but I was way too tired! That didn't stop them from trying the next day, and the next. Finally I decided I would give it another try and show Daddy my new trick! He was so excited!






Mommy and Daddy tell me they are very proud of my accomplishments! Every week I am surprising them with something new that I've learned! Hmmm...I wonder what I should try next week! Maybe I should roll from my back to my belly!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

4 Months Old!!!

Mommy and Daddy tell me I've made HUGE developments this month!


Now that I've discovered my hands, I use them all the time! I love to reach and grab hold of my toys! It's much more fun than just being able to stare at them! Recently I've gotten so good, I can actually get my pacifier in and out of my mouth! However, Mommy and Daddy tell me I've yet to learn a very important step...letting go! I tend to put it in, but the moment I move my arm, out it pops! This happens over and over again! Sometimes I think it's fun and it keeps me entertained for a while, other times, I will start to cry not knowing I'm the one who keeps taking it out (even though I'm still holding onto it!)


I've also started to show signs of taking after my Mommy. In the mornings, during the day, and when I go to bed at night...I talk! A lot! Mommy and Daddy tell me I talk for a good 15-20 minutes before I want out of my crib. (I'm actually talking right now as Mommy, I mean, as I, write this!)


Not only that, but I also curl up my legs now. Before I used to just curl up my top half wanting to sit up. And I turn to my right side! Just yesterday Mommy and Daddy had to take everything out of my crib after they realized I no long stay in one spot at night. Mommy went to check on me and I was in the opposite direction from when they put me in!

Here's a video of Mommy and me playing as we were waiting for Daddy to come home from work. Next we'll have to post a video of how happy Daddy makes me when he comes home. My little giggles have turned into full laughs!!!



Eric, we don't know how it's possible, but somehow you keep getting better and better! We have so much fun with you! You bring smiles to our faces in everything you do! We love all 15.6 lbs of you!!!

Love, Mommy and Daddy!
