Amos, My Little Man!

• My Little boy is growing way too fast! He's coming on his 5 month mark! Last night our neighbor Kristin came up to us and was talkin to Amos... Amos was giggling and giggling and kicking and clapping his hands together... He just loves getting attention!


• Amos has learned how to scoot!! Kinda- haha He lays on his back and uses his legs to push himself across the floor. I keep tellin him that his little hairs aren't going to come in if he keeps rubbing his head on the carpet, but he doesn't mind. It's too fun! It sure looks like more work than crawling though!


• Amos is working on the roll from back to front. He would about have it if he didn't chicken out last minute, all cute like of course :)


• He loves being outside! I've mentioned it lots before, but we spend the majority of the day (now that Dixie's weather is GORGEOUS) outside. We go on lots of walks, watch the birds in our backyard, and play on the grass. We're going to need a bigger yard for this sweet boy of ours!


• We're down to 1 feeding each night! Ish! Amos's schedule is roughly like this.... Wake up at 7am, eat, play with dad before he leaves for work, eat, morning nap around 9:30-11, eat, play play play, eat, play, eat, nap time around 3pm-4ish, play play, rice cereal at 7pm, play, nurse to sleep at 8:30pm, then I nurse him before I go to bed around 10:30... then he'll wake up once for another grand feeding somewhere before 7am!


• Oh.My. WIGGLES! He is the most wiggly sleeping in the entire world!! And it's soo noisy sometimes! And so bouncy other times! He is a wiggle boy!!


• Amos is so cute! He is in the phase where he wakes up and just talks and TALKS! I love it! He has the most darling little voice! He talks until I come pick up him... which usually isn't too long b/c I just can't resist the cuteness!


• Amos has been putting himself to sleep lately! I'm so proud of him! He hasn't done it every time, but the fact that he has just introduced it to himself is so exciting! You go Bug!


• We've come to terms with the car seat! YAHOO! He has decided that he can sit in his car seat all by himself, without mom sitting next to him! What a good little boy! This is quite an accomplishment! It's amazing that with time, babies truly transistion themselves with the most gentle encouragement!


• We love banananana's and squash! Those are the 2 foods of the month! On top of all the little tastes of ice cream or whatever we might be eating for dinner!


• Rub-A-Dub-Dub, Amos SPLASHES in the Tub!! And gets sooo excited to play with all his tubby toys!!
