Change is Our Constant

Every week brings a new accomplishment for Christian and a new challenge for his parents! This has been a BIG month for him. It started with him rolling from back to tummy and getting up on all fours. Then, two weeks ago, he started crawling. The race is on! His newest fascination is rolling over, crawling, then climbing and standing up on the side of his crib, which he LOVES to do ONLY when it's time for a nap:) If that isn't enough to make me wonder if they make sleeping pills for babies, his first tooth made an appearance this morning!!! He was super fussy yesterday and would not go down for naps. Javier and I resorted to the old school technique of strapping him in the car and driving. I decided to check his mouth this morning, and sure enough, there's the top of a little tooth showing through. What a whirlwind of stuff for one little baby to go through in one month! On top of all that, he started screeching, and I mean screeching, like a dinosaur this morning. Javier and I blame his dinosaur PJ's he wore for the first time last night. Needless to say, Mommy did not get to sleep in this morning like she hoped. Here's to dreaming of getting some sleep next weekend.

I'm a month late in getting this posted, but Javier and I took some pictures with him when he turned 6 months. Here's the apple of our eye.

A day at the park

The weather has been beautiful, and so today we decided to take Christian to a park.  We also wanted to try out a backpack we have for Christian to ride in.  At first, Christian did not know what to think of the backpack, but after he got used to it he really liked it.  Daddy carried Christian first.

Mommy then took a turn with the backpack.  Christian really enjoyed Mommy carrying him because he could grab her ponytail.

After our walk, Christian got to ride in swing for the first time.  HE LOVED IT!  Here is  picture of him smiling on the swing.

Here is a video of him on the swing.  His smile says it all.

Baby Gourmet

What do you get when you mix a late afternoon latte and a new Baby Bullet? Lots of homemade baby food for Christian! Christian has finally started eating solid food. We tried to feed him once a week for 2 months and would only receives disgusted looks in return. Then, one day, he decided to slurp up his cereal and milk. Now, as we're introducing more foods to him, we decided to invest in the Baby Bullet, which basically purees food. So far, he's eating sweet potatoes and carrots, but now he has apples, squash, and zucchini to try, too. 

Mmmmm.....
