Cinco!

Five months old!? He's getting so old, and big haha. I cannot believe Austin is almost half a year. He officially is not my little baby anymore, so sad! But I am absolutely loving his milestones, and boy is his personality really starting to show.

I'll save the "list" for 6 months, since that's his next appointment. The biggest change though is the beginning of big boy food...aka solids. Right after his 4month appointment we tried rice cereal, the first feeding he actually swallowed some but it took a few more tries for him to actually "get it" lol it has been SO fun to watch! So far he has just had rice cereal and cinnamon applesauce, and absolutely loves both. If he watches me eat my cereal in the morning, he "asks" for some so I have to feed him his own cereal, so cute! I am loving this stage, it's so exciting and hilarious to watch him try new things :-)

Our big guy all smiles with Snoop!

We are trying carrots this week, as you can see. Why they look neon, don't ask me! I have ventured into making homemade baby food, and it seriously is SO fun. I really get a kick out of preparing his food! I was seriously considering it, going back and forth on the idea, until I read my friend's blog (http://twohealthysisters.blogspot.com/2011/02/baby-food.html) about how easy it is...and most of all how GOOD it is for your baby...and thought "what the heck, I have the time, I might as well try it!" It's actually extremely easy, and only takes an hour to make enough food for at least a week. Most of all, I just really enjoy the process of it. And ofcourse that satisfaction of watching Austin eat (and like) something I've made.

"Give me more..now!" Lovin' the rice cereal! Excuse the laundry lol.

Austin is not rolling over yet, but so dang close. Above is an example of how stubborn he is! He'll roll all the way to one side, where he's laying completely on his side..then stop. Silly boy.

He finally likes the Baby Bjorn, Jake got him to like it. Now I use it all the time.

Yes I look like an idiot, but well we were trying to mimick Austin's big browns!

I decided the best time to go running is during a nap, because he falls asleep anyways. So here ya have it..looks pretty cozy if you ask me!

Waiting in his Bumbo while I take his jogger outside and up the stairs..

Jake had just returned from scouts to find Austin in a pitiful state...haha it was a busy night at home alone with mommy, ok?

This picture doesn't do it justice but he LOVES chewing on this spatula (thank you FB friends for the suggestion!!) and since this one is see through, you can see his tongue and bottom lip. so funny.

Also, he got his first cold a few weeks ago but it was extremely minor..he still slept fine (we propped his matress up at an angle) and ate fine too. thank goodness!

I cannot wait for 6 months! And most of all i can't wait for the summer..he'll be old enough to enjoy playing outside! and also we get to meet the newest King!! YAY!!!!
