Thankful for Five Months

We are so thankful for the first five months of our little man's life!  He is getting to be such a big boy and almost mobile!

Lee has started sitting up on his own - which is nice for play time - he only topples over if he gets really excited!  He reaches for all kinds of toys and other items - like my plate! He rolls all over the place now and is trying to tuck his knees under himself to crawl.  He does manage to scoot around on the floor and get most of what he wants.

He is such a happy baby - especially in the morning! I love to listen to him chatter while I get ready in the mornings. He is back to sleeping 7-8 hours waking to eat and then sleeping some more!
My silly boys!

We took Lee to downtown Auburn for their trick or treating - he makes a very cute ninja turtle!
Comparison! 4 months later! Same onesie - it actually fits - with a bigger hat!

We have not done a lot this month, just hanging out with our friends and family. We did enjoy our time of Thanksgiving with our families.

One Year Ago and 4 Months

It is hard to believe that this picture was taken a year ago!  I made a shirt that said "Mummy to be" to tell our parents that we were going to have a baby!!!!  Now a year later our super cute little boy is 4 months old!


This month has been full of changes!  Lee has gotten very active! To start the month (10-5) off we transitioned Lee from the Rock in Play to the Pack in Play! Sleeping flat instead of elevated!  He did great, sleeping from 11:45 - 6:45 only waking up one time for a few minutes!  He has done really well still sleeping about 7 hour stretch at night then eating and sleeping at least another 2 in the mornings. We did hit a few days where he was waking with a stuffy nose and he had to eat to go back to sleep, but thankfully that did not last too long!

He has started playing with toys this month.  I can hold one in front of him and he grabs it and plays with it!  His favorites are a holey rattle, taggy blanket, a crinkle sounding star and some little links.  It is fun to watch him discover the toys.  He has also found his feet,  he loves to grab for them and play with them. He is starting to love to play in the bath tub too.
Such a cute little ducky!
Played so hard he fell asleep not once but twice!
Video games with daddy are exhausting!
 Playing outside and watching movies with mommy!

Sitting up has been a month long endeavor!  He only needs a little help balancing now! He has been rolling to his sides pretty much all month and then on Saturday (10-24) we were eating breakfast and Lee was laying on the floor.  He rolled from his back to his belly all on his own.  He did get his arm stuck and could not figure out how to get it from under him. On Monday (10-26), Lee rolled over and managed to untuck his arm!  Then he rolled back over several minutes later!  He does not do it often but he is figuring out this rolling over concept!  It is crazy to watch him think things through, you can see his mind working!   
How long can I balance myself???
Gotta figure out what to do with my arm! 
So proud of himself!

We visited South Alabama for Levi's second birthday party!  We will be visiting again soon for Anna Catherine's first birthday!  Time is flying! We also had a chance to go the the pumpkin patch here in Auburn!

We had Lee's baby dedication on October 18th at our church, Lakeview Baptist, it as a special time where we promised God we would raise our son to learn about God.  We also prayed that Lee would learn to trust God that through Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection that Lee can have eternal life through His Grace.
 My handsome boys!

We are loving our little man - he is so much fun and growing each day! His four month stats are:
Weight: 17 pounds 9 ounces (85%)
Height: 25.5 Inches (60%)
He got two shots and is currently working on his new task - a two hour after noon nap :) this is day 4!!

Here are a few more favorite pictures from this month, hope you enjoy them!

3 Months Already??

I read this past week that Lee is no longer considered a "newborn" but an "infant" since he has hit the 3 month mark.  It has gone by so fast that I have to stop and look at previous months pictures just to see what my little man looked like :)  I was changing his diaper last night and found a left over newborn diaper - it was so tiny next to his big boy size 2's!

Lee is weighing in at 14.8 pounds according to our home scale this week.  He has graduated from a lot of his 0-3 clothes to 3-6 and even some 6 month clothes.  Lee sleeps through the night and has since a few days after my last post.  He typically goes to bed about 11:00 - 11:30 and wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00.  He eats and then goes back to sleep for a few more hours!  It is great having him sleep all night!

The beginning of the month was a little rough for Lee.  He was born with a pretty severe tongue tie.  This caused nursing to be difficult and a high possibility of speech problems when he gets older.  We opted to have it "clipped".  Needless to say our sweet little boy had a very rough week and was not the happy camper he had been since birth.  He probably cried more that day than he had in his previous ten weeks.  However, I am happy to say he has returned to his old self and can move his tongue!!!  It has been really funny to watch him discover the use of his tongue and that he can stick it out!  O the little things in life!

He smiles all the time and is extremely happy and content. We can definitely tell he can see us and recognizes us when we are close by (but he doesn't mind other people holding him!) Daniel got him to giggle this past week!  It was the cutest hing ever!  He goes to Bible study with me once a week, has been to volleyball games and several football games this month!  He loves to watch everything going on around him.  So much so that now that he can sit up with only a little help - he is always looking around!  He rolled over for the first time this week-trying to watch the tv!  He also loves to play with a little blanket that has "taggies" on it, grabs at his rattle and is discovering he has toes at the end of his long legs!  And he loves to blow bubbles with his lips!

He has had a very big month of milestones and we are loving every minute!
