5 Months in 2008

Sweet Baby D has arrived at the 5 month mark with his toes in his mouth. He has also learned to spit and is still sleeping 8 or 9 hours in a row at night. Mommy and Daddy couldn't be more proud of their boy. He is also dangerously close to sitting up unaided and rolling over from back to tummy. Some of his current favorite activities include drinking from his sippy cup, grabbing at the cat as she walks by, dropping toys, then watching adults pick them up and drooling over mom and dad's food.

Speaking of food Diego recently received two sets of heirloom eating utensils. With the spoon from one of these sets, he took his first bite of food. The food was Grandma's homegrown, homemade applesauce. Although he spit it out, it was very exciting. We're thinking he'll hold off on more new food for another month or so.


Diego spent Christmas and New Year's with his grandparents and the rest of the family in Boulder. He was really impressed with Grandma's holiday decorations.

4 Months of Diego

This month has also brought many fine jewels such as the full out giggle and belly laugh (somebody has to laugh at mommy and daddy's jokes besides mommy and daddy), advanced toy grasping and chewing, the 5 second bottle hold, a fascination with drinking water from a glass, and consistent sleeping through the night! This month has also brought a not so shiny gem we like to refer to as "monster baby cry." MBC emerges when sweet Baby D is tired and/or hungry and acceptable sleep options and/or booby are not presented ASAP. Think part helium influenced lion roar and part fingernails on chalkboard, that's MBC. Eh, small price to pay for the afore mentioned milestones.



Stay tuned for tales of Christmas in Boulder and check out some Hanukkah fun here.

3 Months, New Tricks

Diego sucks his thumb almost constantly. He will even try and succeed in sticking his thumb in his mouth while eating (bottle or boob), enjoying a pacifier or even sucking his other thumb and/or hand. Amazingly, we have not captured any thumb sucking action on camera. By the next post we hope to remedy this by having a gallery of Diego thumb action to show you. For this post we will have to settle for pictures of one of Diego's newer tricks. Toy grasping!



Wanting to look his best for Grandma's visit this month, Diego put in a lot of time at the gym. Unfortunately, his six pack still needs work, but his neck is getting quite thick from holding up his brainy head. Being smart is hard work.
