Attention seeking behavior??

Silly kitty was caught sitting in the Bumbo waiting for someone to notice her I think!  :)

It's beginning to look like...

 Time to put up the Christmas decorations! yeah!

 Showing Will the Christmas tree

Lots of decorations!  We love our tree!

5 Months Old Today!

You love your feet!

I blinked and somehow Will became 5 months old already!

A memo to my William at 5 months:
You have 2 teeth (got the first one last week and your second one on your 5 month birthday)
You can roll from belly to back and back to belly, although you don't like to really do either but you will if you get tired of tummy time!
You are starting to enjoy your jumparoo, you love Sophie the Giraffe, and Pluto!
You still sleep in the newborn rock and play sleeper in Mommy and Daddy's room and it works so well for all of us we hate to change it.  You sleep all night long some nights and wake to eat some nights.
You are great at breastfeeding but happily take a bottle when Mommy is working or sleeping.  You usually eat about 4-5 ounces when it is in a bottle.
You are starting to outgrow your 3-6 months clothes because they are too short for you but some things still work.  You wear a size 2 diaper still!

First Solid Food

We got the okay from the pediatrician at 4 months to go ahead and start Will on cereal whenever we wanted but I didn't feel like he was ready.  But by 5 months he was reaching for our food, imitating us eating and I knew he was ready to start on solids.  We started with rice cereal mixed with breastmilk, he was not really a fan.  He humored us and took a few bites, but more of it ran out of his mouth than he probably swallowed.

My baby is growing up!  Teeth, solid foods  and he will be driving a car before I know it :)

Halloween 2012

Will's first Halloween!  He received a special Halloween card from Grandma and Grandpa Abbott!

All ready for trick or treating...

Cara was a Princess Pirate and Will was Mickey Mouse

Family picture!

We met up with our neighbors (Cara's bestie Grace and her sisters)  for trick or treating fun!

Their costumes were inspired by Scooby Doo!

A little trick or treating fun!  Right after this picture Scott took Will home because it was pretty cold out but Cara didn't notice the cold running from house to house
