Spoke Too Soon!

Tonight was Steve's night to give Davis a bath and just as he was about to take him to the tub we were discussing how Davis has NEVER tinkled on Steve. Well....we spoke too soon! Just as we said that Davis peed ALL over Steve! hahaha Pretty funny! Our little man keeps us on our toes!

After Davis AND Steve took baths I found them doing very important things....Steve going through the mail....mostly the ads.....and my sweet little boy EATING THEM! haha Daddy time is more fun because Steve lets him eat things I won't! hahaha


Here is the video of my boys!

Feet!

Davis has been able to grab his feet for a while now but his new trick...other than eating his toes....is to keep holding them when I pick him up! Of course he didn't do it the first time on the video but he eventually did it for the camera and thought it was really funny!

Buddies

Today we had a play date with Jackson and Lacey. Jackson is getting so big and almost starting to crawl! The boys had a great time playing with Jackson's toys. It wasn't long before it was nap time for Jackson....Davis on the other hand wasn't ready to sleep. I finally put him in Jackson's swing and he fell asleep for an HOUR! Anyone who knows our nap situation knows what a BIG deal that is! While the boys slept we caught up on important stuff like daytime TV! I convinced Lacey to try out her Baby Bjorn. This carrier saved my life. Davis LOVES riding in it. He just kicks his feet and coos all the way through....where ever I am going! Eager to try it out we went Targeting. The trip was a success Lacey loves it! We can't wait for our next play date!

Jackson after he ate lunch! What a cutie!

Hello Friend!

Let me touch your head!

Look at their blue eyes!

hmmm....what should we do now?

Five Months!

Davis is five months old! Every month I say that I can't believe how fast it's going but somehow it goes a little faster every month! Davis weighs about 17ish pounds and is very long. In fact when it comes to clothes I have to buy 12 month clothes just to fit his length....however he doesn't fill anything out because he is so skinny! He is built like his Daddy...Tall and Lanky!




Diapers:
At five months Davis is wearing size 2-3 diapers and goes through about 7 or 8 a day. Davis no longer 'grunts' when he is doing his business.....well let me rephrase that we struggle to tell the difference between his frustrated grunts...."I want to walk!" and his bathroom grunts...."I need to go!".



Food:
Davis is eating 2nd foods now....which when it comes to meat appear to taste MUCH better. He has really taken to fruit and LOVES pear raspberry! He is eating three containers a day and 4-5 bottles. We now give him is medicine in an ounce of formula because he hates having it squirted in his mouth!


Sleep:
I wish I could post more in this category! Our little energizer bunny only naps about 30 minutes at a time about 2 times a day....MAYBE three if we are lucky. On the other hand he crashes EVERY night at 8 and sleeps until 7ish.


Activity:
Davis can now sit up on his own for several minutes....even more if he can hang on to something. He has been in this very frustrating stage where he wants VERY badly to be mobile but can't. He LOVES his walker and goes to town in it! In fact we generally bring it with us when we go to people's houses so he has something to do. As far as the stroller goes....he isn't crazy about sitting in it. So we found another way to grocery shop....the Baby Bjorn! Davis LOVES this! He would sit in it....and be happy....ALL DAY! We are still working on the concept of jumping and bouncing....he will not bounce or jump himself....but he really enjoys when you make him jump and bounce. Meanwhile he just 'stands' in his jumper. haha



Likes:
Generally fruit, being naked, bath time...and eating the washcloth, peek-a-boo, OLD MCDONALD'S FARM!!!, TV (The Today Show and Rachel Ray), Baby Bjorn, the grocery store...in the Baby Bjorn, Baby Neptune movie, rolling, his walker, SMILING, laughing, frozen teething rings and making really wet razzing noises/spitting. I'm sorry did I mention standing and walking? haha


Dislikes:
CLOTHES, hiccups, chicken, not being mobile, napping, being hot or hungry, loud noises such as the Sunchips bag or toilet flushing, new people in his face.

Daddy and Me

When Steve gets home I finally have a chance to get some housework done. This is what I found when I finished the dishes....

and after I did the laundry...

They stopped making faces at each other for a moment and posed for a picture!

I heart my boys!

Look What Davis Learned...

My little monkey uses all limbs to optimize his busyness! He picks the ball up with his toes and brings it up to his hands! I think I should submit this to the Letterman Show..this is exactly the kind of stupid human trick he loves!

He's got it!

Silly Boy!

LOL

Davis has really perfected his laugh....meanwhile Steve and I continue to work on what makes him laugh. The strangest things make him laugh. Today it was just this funny laugh Steve made. Every time Davis laughs out loud he inevitably gets the hiccups.

Walking

I couldn't resist putting this up...I can't believe that he is so mobile and only 4 months old! He is going to a be a busy little boy very soon!

Learning to Sit

These days Davis loves to walk....supported that is. We are trying to get him interested in sitting. Sometimes he will try other times he won't have anything to do with it. Here are a few of our attempts! Pretty good I think!

Mr. Davis couldn't even pose for the camera because Rachel Ray was on! haha


Still watching Rach!

He almost looks like he is about to pounce on the camera!

I think that is a Gig 'em sign!

He could be the cutest Frank Flyer EVER!

He loves it when we sing Old McDonald! haha

Bananas!

Today we started BANANAS! We are almost finished with fruit and then we move onto veggies. He didn't seem to like them at first but after a couple of minutes he scarfed down the entire jar! I think it's safe to start calling him our little monkey! All day long he smelled like banana pudding!

Almost 5 Months!

I can't even believe that my sweet baby is almost five months old! It seems like just yesterday we brought him home and put him on our bed and weren't sure what to do with him! haha It's funny how time really does fly when you are having the time of your life. We are doing MUCH better with food now. In fact we even revisited some of the fruit that he originally didn't like.

Likes for this month: Walking in his walker, rolling EVERYWHERE....if fact we can't leave him on the floor by himself anymore....I left him in the gym for a minute so I could do some dishes and when I came to check on him, he was gone! He had rolled under the coffee table! haha! Other things he likes are smiling, the swing, Baby Neptune, peaches, pears, apples, his woobie and paci, and how could I forget STANDING?

Mommy's favorite is his tugboat jams!

Walking up a storm!


Looking super cute!

Mommy Time!

Swimming!

I've had great ambitions to take Davis swimming this summer however it just took a while to coordinate everything with the weather and the pool schedule! Davis loved swimming. Unfortunately you can't see his little legs paddling a mile a minute under water...but he was! He swam for about thirty minutes in his float before he wanted to just be held. After an hour I was so afraid that he was going to burn that we called it a day! Steve (aka: Mr. SPF) said that I was NOT to bring his son home with ANY type of a tan line! haha

I think he likes the water!

Next year we will get a different color swim shirt....this one blends into the float and the water!

HE FLOATS!

July 4th Weekend-

We went to Shreveport for part of our long weekend. We had a chance to catch up with his cousins and his grandparents. The car ride went better than the last time. Inevitably Davis saved ALL his dirty diapers for the trip. In fact going up there we had to stop in Livingston just like last time. When we finally got they got out this bouncy car that Davis took a liking to.

After we got home from Shreveport we went to my parent's house and ate dinner. We were going to take Davis to see the fireworks at Faithbridge but they didn't even start until 9:30....and we all know that my little man crashes at 8 sharp! He had a blast in this walker my parents have though!
