2 teeth, a 5 month birthday, oh yeah and I PASSED!

Sorry we have been bad about posting. Football season and keeping the house clean are taking up most of our weekend.

Baby updates! The week after he got that first tooth his second one (on the bottom right) popped up too. It still hasn't bothered him that much, but he drools like crazy and puts anything he can reach in his mouth.

James has known how to giggle and squeal for a while now. But his latest interest is screaming at the top of his lungs (not crying just hollering). He's doing pretty good sitting up, but still loves to stand. He can stand against the wall unassisted for about 10 or 15 seconds. I've been trying to find him one of those sit to stand walkers (a very specific type), but can't find them in stores anywhere. Suggestions welcome?

The kid still LOVES his food. He has gone through peaches, pears, prunes, apples, sweet potatoes, squash, bananas, watermelon, and kiwi. Next we are trying plums, peas, carrots, oranges, and avocado. We try each food 2 days at a time, no reactions so far, knock on wood. I've been making most of his food, but more time consuming things I just buy the Gerber organic food. I know some people make all of their own baby food, but this is just one mom that does not have the time yet.

We are also going to have to break out the big boy high chair soon too. The bumbo has treated us kindly (thanks Wilkey family), but now that meal time involves things that stain we need to head towards the kitchen. He still loves to sit in the bumbo and play...that thing is a life saver in the morning when he wakes up too early...while I'm getting ready he just sits in there and watches.

His 5 month birthday is this week...I can not believe how fast it has flown by. We will have to upgrade from the infant seat to the toddler seat sometime before Thanksgiving. We love our current travel system http://www.orbitbaby.com/products/index.html so we will probably just get their toddler seat. I highly recommend it to anyone looking now or in the future.

Last but not least....I PASSED the bar!
