The other night he was in his saucer and I was talking to him. For some reason I said BOO!! at him and he laughed like a maniac. Literally. He was hooting and he-hawing. I took a video and in the background, you can hear me laughing my head off. I loved it.
He is obsessed with baby food. I get the little colored bowls out and he starts banging his high chair tray, rocking back and forth and yelling that it isn't done and in his mouth at that very second. His favorites are:
Rice cereal and prunes or pears
Prunes
Pears
Sweet Potato
I am slowly going to start introducing more foods when he turns 6 months.. Which is in 15 days! I can't believe I'm going to have a six month old!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE nursing him. There is something so tender and sweet about it. He has in the past had some really bad tummy problems and has at times had a hard time nursing because of it. I had breakdowns thinking that he may not be able to nurse because of it. Now, he is nursing really well and just doesn't sleep well. I guess it's a trade off, hu? Haha.
He had the stomach flu and a double ear infection the week we were moving to our new house (which I will blog about eventually I promise). He just cuddled and wouldn't leave my arms during the sicknesses. It is so sad to see a baby sick. So innocent and precious of a being shouldn't have to feel pain like that :( But I was grateful to have to time to be with him and help him through. Which brings me to something I was thinking about the other day: I AM SO GRATEFUL TO BE A STAY AT HOME MOMMY!!!! I know it isn't for everyone and that all mommies are different. But for me, this is my dream job. I'm so grateful that I don't have to work, like so many others do. I get to work once a week or so for a couple hours. It's more of a hobby than anything.
I feel so blessed right now. I have a loving, funny, husband who works hard every day so that one day we wont be dirt poor and hope that our cars make it the where we need to be! Haha :) I'm so grateful for wonderful parents on both sides of the family, who share their resources, time, talents, and LOVE with us- and who have brought us up to have testimonies of Jesus and the gospel. I am also so grateful for Lou (my sister) who never fails to cheer me up or make me feel like I'm a good mommy, when the day isn't going too well!
