Johnny Jumper

Jolly Jumper? I've heard both names.

Regardless, I have a little boy who loves to swing and bounce.

5 Months Old

Matthew is 5 Months old today.


He
...is up to 13 lbs 13 ounces. (because)
...loves to eat food.
...adores beets, avocado and bananas the most.
...loves to swing and jump in his Johnny Jumper.
...is 26 1/4" long. (which means)
...is wearing 9 month sleepers! (Some of his 6 month ones are too small)
...smiles and giggles for almost anyone.
...dislikes strong perfumes or scents.
...babbles all the time, especially when in the kitchen cooking with Mommy.
...blows raspberries, especially at Daddy.
...knows his name and will turn toward you when you say it.

Beet Purple Face

Apparently formula is gross. Worse than rice cereal.

For my munchkin has decided he likes food.

He has now eaten and enjoyed:

bananas

rice cereal

oatmeal

beets (above)

avocado (he loved this)

pears

peaches

He has been such a good eater. So far he hasn't turned his nose up at anything. But this weekend we will be trying corn and maybe carrots.

Food

On July 26th, we were given the go ahead to start with this:

He wasn't sure at first.

Then he cried if I wasn't feeding fast enough.

And was disturbed when the bowl was empty.

I promise he has toys

Matthew likes the Bumbo chair. I will sit him on the kitchen counter while I'm cooking (close supervision). His favorite thing to play with is the bottle dryer.

I've tried handing him a toy, a book, anything. But alas, his favorite thing is the bottle dryer. Especially if there are no bottles on it. Then he can really push and pull it around the counter.

Church Day

So, the thank you card is still sitting on my desk, but Matthew looks so cute for church!

Thank you Cami!

How big is your eggplant?

Mine is as big as Matthew!

Okay, almost...


Beautiful CSA veggies

Stitch

One of my favorite things to do is pull out the laser light and play with Stitch.

All by himself

I heard the mobile music going on and off. Battery dying? Nope.



Matthew figuring out how to turn it on and off-with his head.

Shed

Nick was so excited to see the shed on our property. I was excited for him.

Fast forward 1 year and the shed has just become a catchall for anything vaguely yard or tool related. So we had a clean up day.

And now Nick and I can find stuff.

We have a reader

Or at least a little boy who like books.

A Day at the Beach

I love Nicks day off. One nice Monday while most people were at work we went to the beach.
When we got there, they had closed the beach because there was lightening in the distance. We were not happy. Luckily, they only closed it for about 30 minutes. Because so many people had left, we were able to get a great spot to put up our umbrella.

Matthew liked the sand, but the water was too cold for him. I didn't blame him! It was cold to me.
