5 Months Old????

I forgot to take Nolan's 5 Month picture on Wednesday. He was a Crabby Patty all day, so I'm sure the photo would have been of him screaming!!!

I haven't updated in awhile...so I thought I would take a couple minutes and do that! :) We FINALLY have a daytime schedule and some structure to his naps (read: sleeping in his crib instead of ON me). Bedtime is going quite well (knock on wood) but he has added in a 4am feeding and sometimes throws in a 1am "booby call". I'm not such a fan of those!!!
He is rolling all over the place now and can scoot fairly well. He seems to find things he shouldn't be playing with...we are going to have our hands full! He "talks" a lot and recently found out he can stick out his tounge, which is soooooo funny!

This morning he woke up at his usual 7:00. He was "talking" in his bed, so I let him chat for a bit before going in to grab him. I went in and found him sideways in his crib. This is nothing new, but he looked so cute I had to grab the camera. It took me awhile to find the camera, and with how wiggly he is, I assumed he would be in a different location. So I was very surprised to see him in exactly the same orientation that I left him. So, I snap the photo...


And go to pick him up...and guess where his right arm is???


Yup, you guessed it!
On another note...I have always been told that I was a VERY clean baby. My grandpa would tell anyone who would listen how I would eat without getting a spot anywhere. I think Nolan is not my son...

Adventures in Cloth Diapering

So, we dipped our toe into the Cloth Diapering pool today! Yesterday we purchased 3 bumgenius 3.0 diapers. They are on the pricy side, but they are one size fits 7lbs to 35lbs...so I figure it's a good investment for this kid and possible kid(s) down the line. I have never been so excited to do laundry last night, I wanted to get them washed up so we could use them today! He seems very happy and content in them. Of course he did a huge poop in the first one that I put on him...but it contained it and there was NOOOO blow out! WHOO HOO!

So we are going to keep these in rotation along with disposables until we can purchase a few more cloth diapers. I feel so green...and frugal! :)

4 Month Checkup

Nolan's 4 month check up went very well! He is now 14 lbs 13 ounces and 26" long. He "talked" the whole time the doctor checked him and wanted to show how he can roll over and even scoot a little. It was pretty cute! Brian's mom came with me...carrying a baby and all his stuff is SOOOOO much easier when there are 4 arms!!

Nolan's had a rough couple days after the shots, but I think he's almost back to normal now! :)
