Sitting Up

It is crazy how quickly Baby D changes. One day he can't grab a ball, the next day not only can he grab it but he can throw it... One day he can't hold his bottle, the next he is holding it on his own.. His world changes so fast, all I can do is slow down and enjoy it.

Here are some pictures of a new trick he has pretty much mastered.. Sitting.

Baby D's World is changing..

The newest thing in our world right now is Baby D's ability to sit up on his own a lot better, I don't think he has mastered it on the hardwood yet. He will sit for about 4-5 mins before starting to tip.

However since he is able to sit on his own that opens up a whole new world when we go out. For him and for me... He can not sit in a highchair when we go out to eat, he started that on 3/18. We were at a Chinese food place with my Mom and he started to fuss in his car seat.. so I thought why not try the highchair.. and it worked. Then over the weekend I thought I would try shopping carts since putting the infant carrier makes them top heavy, and at TJ's you can't even fit it in the top, which means no room from groceries. He did great and seemed to enjoy the ride, and being able to look at everything. Then over the weekend I put him in the stroller facing out so he could sit up not be so strapped down like the carrier. . I , of course, have been snapping pictures on my phone.

First Easter Weekend

(Darrian and his Godsisters)

A Happy Easter!

Easter Sunday we went to church, went to see Grandpa , and then BBQ at home with my Grandma.

Saturday we went to Chris and Julie's for Easter celebration. It was a BUNCH of fun. I had fun playing with my fisheye, watching the girls dye eggs, Baby D interact with everyone, making fun of Julie's cake, watching the boys and girls play dodge ball, freeze tag, watching the girls dance.... it was a lot of fun.

A tale of that Crinkle sound

A Tale of That Crinkle Sound..

(and a semi-mobile baby)

Baby D loves the crinkle sound that you get from playing with plastic bags. He has a couple toys and books that make this sound and he will sit there and Crinkle it for what feels like forever!
I had him on the carpet in our room on Saturday morning. He is becoming more "mobile", he will get up on all four from time to time and rock back and fourth, and he will inch his way to something he wants. As happy as I am that he is developing great, oh I am not ready for crawling!
Here is proof. He manages to find a plastic bag I have near my bed that had some pictures in it. He pulled it to dump the contents and then continued to play with the bag for 20 min. Don't worry I was there to watched him (and take a bunch of pictures).

Him noticing that I am taking pictures of him.

his "STOP or I will eat your camera".
He thought that was pretty funny...

Baby D's Favorite thing to do..

Baby D's new thing to do...

Baby D loves to have just his diaper on and lay on his back, feet in the air and babble away. Sometimes he is babbling with his foot in his mouth, sometimes his fingers, but all the time he is giddy and happy while doing it.

A swing ride ..

Swing Ride take two..

So when I took D to ride on the swing the first time he didn't really sit back in the swing, more leaning forward and I was afraid he would tip forward. Well we went on a walk on Tuesday night and I decided to try again. This time he caught on and was all laid back with it.. haha. It was cute.

He was really really giggling..

Easter outfit!

Happy Early Easter!

This weekend we went to Church and then out for St. Patty's and then to lunch with Grandma. In between I put Baby D in his Easter outfit to get some pictures.. I am going to upload a bunch here.

I picked this outfit out in Gilroy at Baby Gap outlet (only I go into an outlet store and get the one thing not on sale ), when I showed it to Keith he was no such a fan of the pants ..but once he saw them on he was swayed :).

Ps. No I did not plan for him to match our living room colors, or Dad's painting.. I guess I am just drawn to certain colors :)
