Oh my, my little baby is growing waay too fast- by next month he will be sitting, eating and probably have teeth! This month his eye (tear duct) cleared up so that was great! He is as happy as can be but has been teething like mad! He is almost sitting up and I tried him in his bumbo a few times and he liked it - up next is the exersaucer! He also discovered his toes this month and as you can see from the photos loves them too! He is funny though in that he is not a super cuddly baby or does not like to be rocked (weird - I thought all babies liked to be rocked). To fall asleep he prefers me to bounce him in his bounce chair or pat his back. He still cannot roll from front to back so has a hard time falling asleep when he rolls over and gets mad that he can't roll back. He likes to roll around with me and Shay and likes to be"rough" already compared to cuddling. Shayla is still so good with him and reads to him, plays with him and wrestles with him! He loves the toys that hand from his car seat, stroller, or activity mat and loves to bat them around, eat them and pull them off! Such a fun baby age - it is priceless because of...

-The little laughs he makes when I play peek a boo, tickle his toes or blow on his belly!

-The talking noises he makes are so cute and he often goes “mamamama” or at least that is what it sounds like (:

-The way he smiles at everyone and lights up especially bright when Shayla comes into the room!

-The way he feels all warm in my arms and lets me kiss him all over!
