crawling

He didn't take long figuring out this new skill!

This is a typical diaper change lately. I even had to take the cover off of the changing pad because he kept ripping it off.

I was making silly faces at Nate:

Happy 5 months, Nate.

Nate's latest and greatest....

He's on all fours rocking back and forth since last week! How long from now do we have until he's crawling?

We think his weight is leveling off since he's been so active so he is probably in the 90th percentile now. More people are saying they see "me" in him now, before most people said he looked like Dave. It's amazing how babies change (and so quickly)!

He's working on his "pinchers" so we are having to watch him more closely to make sure small things don't make it to his mouth.

Naps are short and rare during the day lately so when he finally goes down I am more than grateful to have a break! Sleep is okay at night but he's still waking 1 or 2 times. I think it's because he's been more active so he is needing more calories and he's been more distracted to eat during the day. He is up bright and early at 5:15 ready to PLAY!! Wow, I am tired just thinking about it.

He will probably start rice cereal soon but since we have a history of allergies on both sides of the family we are trying to hold off on introducing anything else just yet. It will be fun to see him eat fun stuff though. There is a former chef in my mommy and baby group and she is going to teach us all about making baby-food in a couple of weeks.

Nate is definitly becoming more fun and interactive but, boy, is he going to keep us busy when he starts crawling....... What fun!

Believe me, we don't try to cook every night anymore but we attempt a nice dinner at least on Sunday nights. Here are a few pictures from our most recent dinners. Dave has been making some nice braised meats.

We went out to a bar to watch the Texas Tech game and Nate collapsed in my arms because he was so exhausted.


I love how he slept with his butt in the air this day.
