I'm 5 Months Old!!!!

Hey everyone!!

I'm 5 months old today!!! (22 weeks now, if you're counting). I am still working on eating my baby foods, even though I still don't really like to open my mouth. I eat about 1 tablespoon every evening for dinner. I am in the middle of tasting beans and then I have peaches and bananas before I've finished them all. I'm getting onto a pretty good daily schedule too. I usually wake up around 5:30 am and sleep with mom until Joey gets up at 7. Then I take a nap around 9:30 for an hour and then we play. I take another nap in the early afternoon while Joey does, and then we play all afternoon. Sometimes I take a short nap before dinner. After my baby food, sometimes I get a bath while Joey does. Then I'm into jammies and then bed by 8 pm. So far this is working, but....

I got the boot from my baby car seat!!! I am over 19 pounds now and mom got tired of carrying me around in the baby seat. Dad installed a seat in the van just like Joey's. It is nice seeing out of it, but now I have to get my naps while I am at home because there is no more sleeping while we shop. Mom let me sit in the shopping cart at the grocery store the other day. I got a few extra blankets since I still flop over when I sit. It was really fun riding in there while we ran around the store. I laughed most of the time!

This week mom even fixed the ball pit. It blew across the pond at Joey's birthday party and got a couple of holes in it. She patched them and so far it is holding air. I sat in it with Joey and it was SO fun! I've heard that a lot of kids like that thing, and now I see why!! I can't wait to go in again. I just hope that Joey never pees in there!!!

Today we had a play date. Austin Meyer and Sophie Kleber came over to play with me and Brady and Emma were here with Joey. We had such a good time. We played in the basement for a while, everyone ate lunch, and then we played out in the back yard. Mom made me some shade with Joey's umbrella and I stood outside in my walker and watched Joey and Brady play in the frog pool. It was a really nice day.After everyone left Joey and I were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. I was laying on the bathroom floor waiting to get changed while Joey was in the tub. Mom went to get my jammies and when she came back I was doing a push-up on my tummy! She missed me roll over, but I DID IT!!! All I heard all day was her telling the mommies that I have been trying to roll, but I'm too fat to get all of the way over...there mom! I was too cranky to do it again after bath time, but maybe tomorrow.

It's been a great day, but I'm heading to bed...

Night,
