Quick hello

I am sorry I have been so bad about blogging these last couple of weeks. I am back to work full time so needless to say, my free time is little and precious. I usually spend the evenings playing in the floor with John and Davis and the computer is the farthest thing from my mind. John has also had the camera at work with him so I haven't been able to snap pics very often. I do have a really cute video of Davis trying to crawl. I will post it soon. He is rocking back and forth and scooting backwards! It is just a matter of time. I have such mixed emotions about him being mobile. It is so much easier with him staying in one place, but he is such a busy body I know he will be so happy to MOVE! It just makes me sad that he is getting bigger :-( We will have his 6 month checkup (can you believe it??? 6 months!!!) next week so I will update weight and height too. Anyway, I leave for a 3 day meeting in New Orleans Wednesday so this week is going to make it impossible to update any pictures. But everyone say a little prayer for John (and mainly Davis, j/k!) John will have him mono y mono for the first time for longer than 4 hours. They will do just perfect and I think John is actually a little excited! We always have Aunt Beth right down the road if things get too hairy. Nothing is really new other than that. Just still love every single minute of being a mommy and love every inch of Davis' sweet little self. I could just eat him up every day!!! Take care and I'll upload some pics soon I promise!

House update

We're completely framed! Windows were installed last week!!! It will still be awhile before we are in, but it is so exciting to see everything starting to come together!

Dinner with Libby

One of my best friends from college is here on vacation and we have had so much fun! We went to the beach with her on Sunday and then met for dinner Wednesday night. We went to Marlin Grill where Beth works and had a great time. It was Lib, John, Davis and I. Pretty brave bringing him to a nice restaurant, but we had a "cover". We ate outside so there was an easy out, plus there was a very loud band within 100 feet that would drown him out if he started crying, but he was wonderful! He was social before we ate and then when our food came, he just sat in the stroller looked around, smiled then took a nap.

It's Big Boy Food Time :-(

Davis turned 5 months old last week and is still growing like a weed. My pediatrician told me at our 4 month checkup that we would start solid foods at 6 months, but as his mommy I think he is ready. I am only breaking the rules by 2 weeks, so we'll just keep quiet :-) Davis does great with rice cereal and I recently started adding applesauce to help the taste. After talking to one of my best friends Barkley, I decided to start introducing vegies yesterday. He still takes a 7-8 oz formula bottle every 3 hours, with the exception of our nighttime ritual that includes rice cereal. He is thankfully (and has been... thank you mom!) sleeping through the night since he was around 3 months. I just really feel that once he has some solids on his tummy, maybe he can sustain a little longer. We started with green beans and my goodness... they look AWFUL! But I kept my opinion to myself and acted like it was pureed pizza when I was feeding him. He did GREAT! He sat up like a big boy in his high chair and ate them very successfully. We had a little bit of a mess, but that is to be expected!

See, not too big of a mess!
First bite!
"I'm not to sure about this mommy!" By the way, the sippy cup is still a no go, but thought I'd try it out.
