First Food!!!

Jon David has moved up from just breast milk to adding in rice cereal three times a day! He likes it and was obviously ready for it. He grabbed the spoon and put it in his mouth. I held back tears as Jon and I fed him his first food. I am so proud of my little man! After Thanksgiving, the adventure is on! I plan to make all of his food at home. With our history of food allergies (milk and wheat) I have to be careful about how Jon David eats. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

5 months

My big boy! He has been ah-gooing and laughing at me all week. I'm so glad no one else is here to see the crazy things I'll do for a laugh. He loves to roll from his belly to his back and wait for my praise! He has also started to roll from his back to his belly on his left side. We were at his Godparent's house when he did it the first time. Greg and Kirsten were pretty excited to be there for that moment! JD and I have been stuck in the house for the last two days because of the rain. We've been staying busy playing Wii Fit. Everyone needs to have this game! It's so fun and Jon David loves when we do the aerobics! He laughs at me until all of the movement puts him to sleep. Our dog Shelby hates it and runs around us barking until we stop. Our Wii is new and we are soooo addicted!!! Our next purchase is a jogging stroller. We want to enjoy the weather before it gets too cold. Happy November everyone!

Halloween!!!

Our Halloween was pretty quiet with less "trick or treaters" than I thought. My parents were here and we took turns answering the door holding the "football". We got some really funny pictures and Jon David's custom costume (made by my mother) was a big hit among the neighbors! Of course, he didn't understand all of the fuss, but he did enjoy all of the attention. After everyone left and it was back to just JD and mommy, he cried everytime I put him down. It is official, at 5 months, Jon David CAN be spoiled!!!
