Welcome!

After much deliberating, I've decided to start a blog. Jerad and I are so proud of our first home. We are constantly working to improve it, so we thought we'd share our journey with you. Happy renovating!

5 month update

 Before 5 months is completely gone, I need to jot down some things that James is doing so I don't forget!!

  • eating solids well- morning- rice cereal or oatmeal and a fruit- banana, apple, peach, pear
  • dinner- 2 veggies- peas, carrots, squash, carrots, sometimes some prunes
  • learning to take small sips from a zippy cup
  • wearing 9 month clothes, size 3 diapers
  • sleeps on his side- wears a sleep sack
  • can roll over both ways
  • uses an occasional pacifier
  • can sit up by himself for a few minutes
  • loves chewing on things, mirrors, music and his big sis Katherine - no one can make him laugh like she can
  • takes a bath in the big tub with sister every night
  • goes to bed around 7:30, wakes up every 3-4 hours, nurses for a couple minutes, and right back to sleep.  Typically awake by 7:30 (mom should probably force him to sleep through the night but she's WEAK)
  • takes 3 naps- morning is around 9:30 for an hour, lunch is around 1 for 1.5-2 hours, and a catnap around 4:30-5 for 45 mins
  • mom is nursing and is still not eating dairy (BLAH).  has had occasional Soy formula mixed with cereal
