5 Months Old!

Evan is now 5 months old and full of new tricks! Just to recap from the last month: he grabs his toes, raises his head while on his belly, has rolled once from back to front on his own and is beginning to sit up leaning forward on his own. I must note, however, that the sitting up is very brief, usually followed by a topple to the left or the right. Thankfully he is a sturdy little fellow and doesn't scream once he hits the mat!! I will post several new pics from today. I think I have figured out what I was doing wrong at Christmas to make the pictures so blurry.

Evan has a new foam alphabet play mat. We set it up in the living room for him to roll around on and play with his toys. It is quite large (6'x6') so I put some of the squares away and will set it up in full when it gets moved to his bedroom.


Evan also has a new chair! It is a high chair that attaches to a kitchen chair to save space. He likes sitting at the dining table now like a "big boy." Besides, his legs are getting a little to chunky for the Bumbo. He still uses it, but when we pick him up, sometimes the seat stays attached!


Showing off new tricks!

Very sweet! We love the pictures of Evan!! They are much clearer! And I love the sepia toned one! Ezra still loves the video of Evan grabbing his toes the best. He asks to see 'baby toes' then laughs when he watches the video. Too funny! He loves his cousin! And we love our nephew! :o) What a cutie! Tell him we love his new foam mat! That is perfect for new sitters and rollers! :o)
