Okay, not as obvious in this viedo because he was starting to get tired,
but Jem FAR prefers the Hallmark dancing penguins to the other dancing
snowmen. At one point he was crying for the others but would smile and
laugh for the penguins. LOL. A boy after Aunt Erin's heart!
Last night we tried cereal for the first time. As you can see, he gave a thumbs up!
Toby has lost plenty of teeth to have holes for his sucker sticks, lol.
And a happy 5 months to Jem (a couple days late now!). He is sitting like a champ these days - only falls over when he's going for something out of his reach. I'm beginning to think he will never roll over belly to back. He spends most of his time on his belly these days but canNOT figure out the roll for anything. He can even scoot forward now, but no rolling. He can sit, he can hold on to something and stand for short periods (as in, very short, this is very new!), but can't roll over. Still not sleeping well at night, though to be fair, he only wakes to eat then goes right back to sleep...maybe because he's so darn big? Doesn't matter, it sucks either way for me. He naps easily though and is a generally very content and happy baby. He loves people, especially his brother and sister.
He's also moving into 12 month clothes. Some of his 9 month still fit, but i'm finding more that don't. It's also impossible to find socks that fit around his cankles. He has the fattest legs I've ever seen! They are too darn cute :)
A happy belated Thanksgiving to everyone! Curtis was home for 5.5 days and I really thought we'd have time to relax but honestly we were going solid until 10:30 last night when he finally crossed the last pertinent thing off his to do list. We have cooked, cleaned, decorated, fixed...and we are both too tired to start a new week. Though this morning has been the first I've relaxed in over a week I think!
The elf on the shelf has come to visit as well...Toby and Lucy love looking for him every morning!
Holiday knitting is in earnest now as I see December looming. Yikes! We did get the house decorated yesterday. The tree is up...I fear this may be our last year with a live tree. I love going and getting them, but it has become a wild goose chase to get a good tree farm. Last year we spent half a day just finding a farm, this year the trees were flat out disappointing. We ended up with maybe a 7 foot tree and everyone complains it is too small but it was impossible to find a bigger one that looked decent. So we are discussing finding a fake tree after Christmas this year...though I honestly love live ones.
Birthday season has commenced as well...Curtis had is big 3-3 last week, mine comes up in 2 weeks and Lucy is right on my heels. No wonder once Thanksgiving starts I feel like I can't breathe until January! But it's tons of fun :) What I really need to do is get a run in tonight - I really thought I'd have time to run while Curtis was home and I didn't end up going once! And I can't see where I could have fit it in...we were far too busy!
