5 MONTHS OLD

July 19, 2014

I am 5 months old, can you believe it! This month I finally mastered rolling over onto my tummy from my back. I surprised everyone by rolling over a few times before, but it was just an accident! With some help, I can sit up too but there is still a good chance that I will fall quickly if I'm not careful. I love to hold on to and snuggle with soft toys, to shake rattles, and to grab onto people's faces or dogs. I do get a little upset when my toys are out of my reach, they fall, or mom takes them away. I will try to grab for anything and everything near me - so watch out!! My least favorite things right now include pacifiers and bottles-just yuck! I love to hear mommy sing or listen to music of any kind. I am really trying out my voice and am often heard squealing! I will definitely giggle when daddy tickles the back of my neck or people act like they're going to eat my toes!



This picture is pretty much the default of what I do in my spare time. My fists or fingers are nearly always in my mouth these days! I have started to enjoy reading books also. Some of the pictures are pretty neat! I try to hit at the bright shapes and colors. My favorite book to read with my mom is one about Diggers!



Recently, I had the opportunity to try squash and baby rice crackers; they are Delicious! 


I do have one question, though. Why does my doggie friend keep getting smaller?!


Love, 
Garrick

4 MONTHS OLD

June 19th, 2014

I am finally past the newborn stage and I am getting a hang of this baby thing! I now weigh 17.2 pounds and people love to pinch my cheeks and comment on my chunky thighs!! I am starting to become very interested in toys and for the most part can grab them and bring them to my mouth, how fun! My favorite thing to do during the day is spend time in my bouncer from my Papa. I really like music and smiling at others.

Love,
Garrick


Can I eat it, I think I'll eat it
