5 months

On September 20th Milo was 5 months old.

I can't believe how fast my baby is growing and learning.

A few new things for the month.

-He is starting to learn to sit up.

-He eats 5 ounces every 3 hours and I just started feeding him rice cereal

-He sleeps really well from 8:30-4:30 then wakes to eat and then goes back to sleep till 7.

-He is wearing 3-6 months cloths.

-He loves playing on the floor, in his jumper and mostly being held.

-He only holds still when he is asleep otherwise his feet are moving like crazy.

-He makes lots of noises. He has a lot to say.

I love watching him take everything in and trying to figure out how things work.

He is just so interested in everything going on around him.

I love this little man. He is such a blessing to our family and brings us joy everyday.

First Baby Food

We have Milo baby cereal on his 5 month birthday.

It was messy but he did great ate what he didn't get on his face, hands or body.

Top of Utah Marathon 2011

Last weekend Matt ran the Top of Utah Marathon in Logan Ut.

This is the second time he has run this Marathon. His goal this time

was to get under 3 hours.

Milo was a good fan of his DAD.

I made us both shirts to support our #1 Man.

I was grateful that our friends Mike and Sara came.

I would not have been able to hold an umbrella, camera and Milo.

We get to see Matt run by a few different places before going to the finish line.

He did so great!!! He ran it in 2:57:25. Just under his goal.

They were celebrating the great time.

Matt got 2nd place in his age group so he got a cool trophy.

I am so proud of him.

Just Playing

Ok so I realize that after you have a baby you take a lot less pictures of yourself and mostly all pictures of your baby. But how can I help it with this face? Milo spends a lot of time playing in the living room. He really likes the bouncer that cousin Brigham is letting him borrow.

He is obviously amused by Truman.

A couple weeks ago Brigham came over to play.

Cousin Fun

Milo loves hanging out with his cousins Aidyn and Brigham

My cousin Caleb and I have always been really close since we were born.
We are 2 months and 11 days apart.

Now we both have babies and they are 2 months and 23 days apart.

Getting slobbery kisses from cousin Brigham.

4 months

Yesterday we went to Milo's 4 month Dr. appointment.
He turned 4 months on Aug. 20th though.
His measurements are.
Height: 2'0.9'' (38.08%)
Weight: 12 lb. 7.7 oz (4.82%)
HC: 41.5 cm (22.79%)

-A few days before he was 4 months old he started turning over from his back to stomach. Now he does it all the time. He has not figured out how to roll back over to his back yet so he get frustrated pretty quick on his stomach.
-He can grab things now.
-He is very interested in what we are doing all the time. He watches us constantly.
-We is a mover and a talker. He is always wiggling and making crazy noises.
-Still no sleeping through the night but only wakes up once or twice to eat.
-He loves standing. He gets mad when you hold him like a baby, he wants to be held up on your lap with the weight put on his legs.
-He is sick right now for the first time. (just a little cold)

He is such a blessing and brings so much joy to our family. I am so grateful for him each and everyday. I am also grateful for Matt who stays home with him everyday while I go to work. He is such an amazing Dad!
