My blog began as a way to vent my frustrations surrounding our struggle with infertility. I am now ELATED that it has moved from an infertility to pregnancy blog and finally our baby blog! The scars of infertility will never fade completely, and truthfully I don't want them to. Infertility has impacted our lives in a way nothing else ever could, and I'm very grateful for all it has taught me. At some point we will probably be traveling down this road again in order to complete our family, but for now we are enjoying our amazing little guy! He's so much more perfect than we ever imagined he could be. I guess it's true what they say...good things DO come to those who wait! :o)

5 Month and 22 Week Birthdays!

My baby is 5 months old!  He's getting so big and doing something new every day it seems!  His latest trick is rolling over without hesitation.  He will no longer stay on his belly at all.  As soon as I put him down for tummy time, he immediately flips himself over to his back.  It's become a bit of a game, he flips onto his back, I put him back on his tummy and tickle him.  We keep the game up until he starts to get mad.  He has flipped once from his back to his belly, but since he really doesn't like to be on his belly, I don't see it happening again any time soon. 

He's also started to try and blow raspberries.  We blow raspberries on his belly, neck, hands, all over all the time and he loves it.  He lets out the cutest giggles ever, squeals and kicks his feet.  He's now decided he wants to blow raspberries by himself.  He hasn't quite gotten it to work, but he sure is trying hard!  He will purse his lips and says "bububububu" until he manages to spit and drool down his chin.  Then he grins great big because he's so proud of himself.  It is incredibly cute if I do say so myself! 

Today we took him to the zoo for the first time, and I think he really enjoyed himself!  He was mezmorized by the animals.  Even though he missed one of his naps due to our big adventure he sure was a good sport!  Once we got home he totally sacked out for 3 hrs!  That was one of the best naps he's had in a while.  He woke up so happy :o)

His newest solid is sweet potatoes, and he LOVES them!  I made some earlier in the week for him to try, and he has been so excited to have a new food.  He squeals in excitement every time he sees them.  It's the greatest sound! 

Here are a few of the newest pics I've taken of little guy.  Now that I'm home all the time the camera is in his face constantly.  Poor kid.  ha! 

Such a big boy at 5 months old!

Crazy hair after my bath
