Little Monster

Can you believe that in a couple of weeks he will be 1/2 a year old??? I can't. He is getting to be so much fun and we are starting to see his little personality more and more. He's sure a busy little fella, but sweet and smiley too. However, he does have some monsterous moments.... aka. naptime. Please feel free to give me advice on this subject! He is such a rolly polly. He is all over the place and has gone from immoble to mobile real fast and i don't think he knows what to do with his new found abilities! If he rolls over he cries, if his blanket gets twisted he cries, if he rolls back over he cries. His naps have been pooey and he has also been waking up at night all twisted in his blanket and in some weird position that makes me wonder how long he has been awake pulling these shinanigans. I just don't know what to do with him! He now is rolling onto his belly and falling asleep, but won't go back to sleep well if he wakes up. Do you see my issues!? He's a mess, but we love him. Should i put him to sleep on his tummy from the get go? Should i not give him a blanket in his crib at all? Should i just let him cry until naptime is over or it is morning? In fact he is crying right now. Swell. Yeah, we are in a pickle. Hopefully soon he will figure it out. HELP. (P.S. I do use the book babywise. It doesn't help me with this issue).

ANYWAY!!! For journaling purposes, here are some things that he has been up to this past little while. Like i said, he is a rolly polly. He is also already starting to pull his knees up to his chest while on his belly and kinda scoot. He doens't do it on purpose, but soon he will figure out it can get him somewhere. He is eating solids twice a day now and LOVES it. He hasn't disliked anything that i have given him and actually prefers veggies! Suprise, suprise! He is also learning to blow the food out of his mouth which is really lovely. Ummm, he is doing really well sitting up and will have it down in no time! I know, he is getting so big! He is super ticklish. He giggles so hard when you get him right in the thighs or right above the bunsies. He is such a happy little man and is loving "talking" lately. We have to take him out at church a lot, but not because he is crying or cranky, but because is is squaking and making loud raspberries on his hands!

See what i mean about messy? Our laundry has tripled since solids or we just let him hang out naked, which i think we both love.

Sitting! I'm such a proud mama!

My first Mother's Day... which was slept being sicky (previous post). Daxton gave me a blender so i could try making his food from scratch! It was actually really easy and it's nice to know my little one is eating something that i made and i know what i put it in. Plus, it saves money which is always nice.

We have also been slaving in our backyard this year! Well, Landon mostly. Shout out to him! He has been working so hard and doing such a great job. We also have great neighbors help out too, we seroiusly couldn't have moved into a better neighborhood... well except the neighbors (all of them) with dogs that bark all the bloody time. :) Anyway, we can't wait until it is done and we can enjoy time out there on the deck or at the fire pit. Wanna come and visit??? The Sherwood Inn is vacant for a lot of the summer!
