Hanging out in the Bumbo, chewing on toys... growing up!


Doesn't really work to try and take a picture when football is on :)

A picture of the 4 wasn't going to happen this time :)...



Stennson, here's a little glimpse of life with you at 5 month!

-I'm amazed by how much you have grown up in the past month!

-You daily schedule is ...

Wake up between 7 and 8am and nurse.

Nap- a lot of times it is out and about when we have activities. Now you will only nap for about 20 to 30 minutes long in your carseat, but it can usually hold you over until your afternoon nap.

When we are at home you'll take a good 1 to 2 hours.

Nurse around 11/11:30!

Nap- again depends on everyone elses schedule, but if we don't have to pick up from school you'll sleep from 12 or 1 until 3 or 4pm.

Nurse when you wake up!

5:30/6 You just started rice cereal at dinner time. While, you had it for the first time a few weeks ago, but it's hard to add another thing into that time of day, so I am just now getting serious about really having you eat then so we can drop that feeding/nap time!

You nurse again at 6:45/7pm and go to bed for the night!

You were my awesome little sleeper, until that bad cold hit you last month and created all kinds of bad habits that we are still trying to break! You have been nursing again between 4 and 5am :(... I think we'll give you through this month and then we'll have to drop that one!

- You have done well with the cereal. You are very tongue tied and we've debated clipping it, but so far you have nursed great and have now figured out how to eat cereal well, so we'll continue to wait on that decision.

- You are such a happy little guy.. but you are growing up and for the first time voice your opion on some things in life :). There are now moments where I walk away and you cry or you don't want to be put in your gymini at all!

-You wore 6-12 month clothes for about 3 weeks and now you are in a bunch of 12-18 month size... you seem so long now and you have some awesome baby fat roles :)! I love them!

- Most of the time when you are awake I'll move your bumbo or your blue seat around to where ever the kids are, you love just sitting and watching them play! You have a lot of entertainment and someone is nearly always kissing and hugging you!

- Your two favorite people are Shaelyn and Daddy! Oh, how you love them! When Shaelyn comes home from school you'll shake with excitement and when you are with Daddy your eyes just light up- makes me melt!

- You have rolled over, but you still are not doing it regularly.

- It will still be a while until you are sitting up on your own!

-We are so thankful for all the joy you bring to our family! Thank you for being the sweet, patient, amazing little boy that you are!! We love you Stennson Nathan!!
