Playtime

These are some recent pics of Gage and some of his favorite playtime activities. The first three are of Gymboree. They are of his favorite parts. All the babies lay on their backs under the parachute while the moms get a great arm work out moving it up and down, while singing songs and all the babies sit around the mirror and do tummy time. The last two pics are of him playing with his Gumball machine. He loves this toy because it lights up and plays music, but he gets frustrated sometimes because it isn't small enough for him to put in his mouth. (Which he tries to do with everything.)

I finally got caught up!

Toe Soup!

Lately, this is Gage's favorite past time. He is so infatuated with his feet!

I love me some toe soup!

Hi Mom! (You can tell he just woke up!)

More Toes!

I'm A Big Boy Now!!

As many of you know, Gage hates the car seat. He screams and screams in the back of the car in his infant car seat. I got many suggestions about how to fix the problem, and several of you suggested to switch him to the upright car seat. I was kind of hesitant at first because it felt like my little baby, wasn't a baby anymore. He wasn't sitting in his baby car seat anymore.

We finally got around to putting it in, and it has made all the difference in the world. He is still rear facing but I think he is higher up so he can see out the window, and he can sit up instead of laying on his back. He doesn't scream anymore, instead he just looks out the window and listens to the music. He even fell asleep on the way home from Gymboree yesterday. Yay, what a blessing! He is such a big boy now!

New Friend

Gage and I joined Gymboree about a month ago and we have had so much fun spending time together as well as meeting new friends. Gage and Meacham are fascinated with each other, and we think they will become fast friends. It's also been great for me, to have Mommy conversations, with Meacham's mom, Melanie. We always look forward to Mondays and Thursdays!

Hi Meacham!

Pool Time

This weekend was our first really hot (hi 80's) weekend we have had so far this summer, so we decided to bust out the fun baby pool that Maddie and Judy gave Gage. I filled it up early that morning and let the sun warm up the water, so by afternoon it would be just right. At first he didn't know really what to make of it, because I am sure the water was a little cooler than his bath water. But after a few minutes, he was in and playing. He looked so cute in his little bathing suit and hat!

It's kinda cool Daddy!

Five Months Old!

It's hard to believe our "Little Bird" is five months old. He has grown and changed so much in the last month. We love him so dearly, and can't wait for the next five months!

Five Month Milestones:

-Loves to role over. He spends more time on his tummy now then his back.

-The Jumperoo has got to be his favorite toy.

-His favorite book to have read to him is The Belly Button Book

-His favorite Baby Einstien video is the Baby Monet-Introduction to the seasons. (Highly recommended by mom.)

-He has found his feet and tries while on the changing table and in the bath tub to put them in his mouth. (It is so funny!!)

-His favorite food (of the ones he has tried so far) is Pears

-He is no longer in his infant carseat. We made the transition to the big boy carseat and he is a much happier camper in the car. No more screaming himself to sleep.

-He goes to sleep at 7pm and will sleep till 5:30am. I feed him, and then he goes back to sleep till between 7 and 8am. He takes a morning nap from about 10-11am and an afternoon nap from 2-4pm.

-He loves Gymboree and has a new little friend Meacham.

-He drools like crazy. I think he is getting ready for those teeth. I have to change his outfit several times a day, and he wears a bib all the time. (See pics below.)

-He is looking more and more like his Daddy!!

This shirt should say, "Drooling is what I do Best!!"
