Happy Five Months, Baby Boy

Yes, this post is a little late.

Last week, our baby boy turned five months old. Remember him? Brand new?

And here he is now.

For the first time today, he reached out for us to hold him. First with Russ. Then with my boss. Then with someone he'd only met once before at my office (can you say FLIRT?). Then finally, when I got home, he reached out for me. So I made Russ pass him back to me about five times, just so I could see Baby Monkey reaching out for me over and over.

ETA: After I wrote this last night, Thomas rolled over from his back to his tummy! We were thrilled! Not as thrilled that he did it a 2 in the morning (I watched on the monitor), but thrilled nonetheless!

Good times.

Happy Five Months (plus a few days), Baby Boy.

Thomas visiting Mommy at work

He's taken over the President/CEO's chair...

Thomas comes to visit me at work a few times a week. Today, we were visiting the Director of Operations when I had to take a phone call. So Christine kept Thomas while I was on the phone with this very nice, yet longwinded, parent for over 45 minutes (yes, you read that right). After about 20 minutes, I see Thomas peeking in my window on Christine's shoulder. A few minutes later, he's being wheeled (to his great delight) on an office chair in front of my door (no, ma'am, I'm not laughing at you... you were saying?). A few minutes later, this picture pops up.

Thomas had a great time visiting me today, but unfortunately only spent about 10 minutes with me; an hour after he got there, Russ and Thomas left while I was still.on.the.phone.

Good times.

Bouncer Video Test

I'm not sure if this is going to work- this is a video so if you're getting this via email, you need to click on the picture to take you to the blog and play the video there.

For the record, I'm not promising the video will be there. Hopefully it will be.

Jumper from Nana and Poppa

Wheeeeeee!

I love to bounce and bounce!!!

Five in the bed and the little one said

Silly Mommy, I know how to roll over.

You start by pushing up on your arms.

Then you tilt to the side.

And push yourself up....

Fooled you. Silly Mommy, you know I won't roll over on camera. Now, put that away, and I'll roll over to my back.

Silly Daddy Monkey, what are you doing?

Can't you see I'm trying to eat my horsey?

We have to wait how long for Mommy to be done working?

I'm King of the World!

Dragon Tales

Daddy Monkey's got a wee little dragon on his lap!

Look, there's the dragon again! Daddy Monkey is taking him to the zoo.

Even Mommy likes the Baby Dragon!

My Halloween outfit!

Munchies

MMMMM Finger.

It's Poppa's finger. Tasty.

Oooh, my finger's tasty too.

I wonder how many I can shove in my mouth?

Party Time

Hey Nana, what's this?

Oooooh, a kitty. Can I put it in my mouth?

Nom nom nom. Yummy kitty.

Oh, hello, I didn't see you standing there.

I offer you the greeting of my people. Spit bubbles. Lots and lots of bubbles.

No creativity this morning for captions. But he's so cute, who needs captions?

Good Morning!

Well, hello there. How YOU doin?

Hey, look, it's Aunties Spatzle and Tiffy!

What? You want me to sit here and look cute for a picture?

Well, if you insist.
