Five Months Old

Michael turned five months old on Friday. We've been trying new adventures lately. This week we went to a Mommy and Me yoga class. But that didn't go so well since Michael wanted to be held for most of the class. Also, Mommy didn't find the yoga very relaxing since there were multiple kids coming over to her to hand her their toys or snacks. Today we went to a music class. Again, Michael wanted to be held for most of the class. He's currently in an attachment to mommy phase. We attempted to give him rice cereal last weekend. We thought it went well; however with each day that passed he seemed to like it less and less. So we took a break and will try again later. Here is a link for a video of Michael trying to drink Ian's water. Also, there are new pictures below.

Michael Laughs!

This past weekend Mommy and Michael took a road trip to Erie. Dad traveled to Florida for the weekend. Thank goodness Mom and Michael didn't go with him - Dad's flight was delayed on Friday night which resulted in him sleeping at JFK airport! Dad did have a nice time in Florida when he finally got there. Our road trip was good; however, Michael wanted to be the entertainment for the weekend, so it took Mom over an hour every night to get him to sleep. He loves smiling at all his relatives. Michael's first laugh was on August 24th; however, it has been difficult to get him to repeat it. Just when we think we know what makes him laugh it doesn't work the next time. Aunt Holly was able to make him laugh this weekend by snorting (like a pig) at him. The video for that is on the right of this blog below the slideshow. You just need to click on the title below the picture to get it to play. We are sure Aunt Holly will be thrilled as well for you all to know what a fantastic snorter she is. He's still working on rolling over. He seems to be more interested in using his hands. He's becoming a nuisance during meals. It seems as if he wants to eat our food. He'll grab our glass and try to drink out of it. He'll grab the plate and try to bring it to his mouth. We think it is time to start cereal! That will most likely be our new adventure this weekend.
