Twenty Two Weeks Old

Well, we have hit the 5 month mark and the sleep deprivation is really taking it's toll! Our little guy is SO incredible during the day...but he still can't figure out this sleeping business at night. Luckily, I have a very patient husband and a mom I can call 4 times a day if needed...because I am certain that I have been a very cranky and overly tired woman this past month!

We spent the week getting completely unpacked from the past two weeks! It was nice to have Tyler in town all week and weekend, so we met him out for lunch one day and enjoyed having him home for lunch during the rest of the week.

Tyler's parents came into town for a quick weekend visit! We did a little bit of shopping -- thanks KiKi for the CD player in Hayden's room!! He loves listening to the music. :) We had some yummy meals at the house and Tyler and I also enjoyed a wonderful date night. We had a cocktail before dinner, ate at one of our favorite restaurants, and even grabbed an after dinner glass of wine. It was a really nice treat!!

One Sunday I jumped into a huge project in our foyer...the weekend ended with me and the wall covered in BLACK magnetic paint. :) What on earth did I get myself into?!

Early the next week we jumped into the world of solid food....or at least we tried to jump in! Hayden was busy with other plans of being easily distracted by ANYTHING and clamping his lips together so we couldn't get the spoon in. But the spoon....he LOVED playing with the spoon!

(THANK YOU Aunt Sandra for the awesome bib!!)

SUCH a face!

We tried out a cool tummy time toy this week and H really responded well to it! It is supposed to help build his arm strength in addition to his neck...we are excited for him to use it. :)

And magically, I'm finally getting him to smile for the phone/camera!!

At the end of the week I grabbed a few pictures to celebrate his 5 month birthday. We took them in one of his superhero rompers (he has 3 now) because he has been LIVING in these for the past month!! They are light weight, stretchy and super comfy....PERFECT for being out and about during the summer!
