Day 364 - 2010

Mitchell is enjoying a new pastime - emptying as many containers out of the drawer as possible. It does make it hard to keep organized but I can certainly think of worse things for him to get into. I get a little worried about what he does with the forks though...

And we had to try and get a close up of his new teeth. We're up to 6!

Day 348 - 2010

Mitchell seems to be liking carrots the most at the moment. This whole foods/ baby led weaning is still going strong. Messy and strong.

TIme to share a little mealtime banter.

Day 345 - 2010

Mitchell has his first infection and is on antibiotics. We think he may have scratched the inside of his mouth somehow. He is totally unaffected by it other then the fact that the antibiotics taste DISGUSTING (and trust me I know - I tried them - YUCK!!!) and he needs to be strong-armed to have them. This is apparently my job since I have the best success rate. Thanks Drew!

Day 344 - 2010

Mitchell has been really getting into his food lately. I'm liking this baby-led weaning process other than the fact that there is more waste. He is doing so well with managing new foods and not choking. He usually chews and then spits it back out. There isn't a whole lot of ingestion but he is "getting" the whole process. I'm totally impressed.

Day 341 - 2010

It appears that Mitchell will no longer be using the bassinet portion of his pack and play. It has been a good time buddy!

Day 328 - 2010

Mitchell was doing some wild things with his tongue today - but I'll be darned if I could get a good picture of it. It was almost like he just discovered it was there and he could move it in and out.

Day 325 - 2010

Guess who is sitting all on his own? He isn't able to transition yet but I know it won't be long. Then we are in for some trouble!

Day 305 - 2010

Mitchell tried baby mum mums today. I think we have a winner.

Day 299 - 2010

Mister mister is on the move! Forwards! Not quite crawling but definitely moving forward and getting faster.

Day 286 - 2010

Mitchell tried out the park swing for the first time and as you can see, LOVED it.

Day 285 - 2010

Mitchell is beginning to REALLY get into his food. I can't say that I enjoy this aspect - but what are you to do when he keeps grabbing the spoon JUST as you get it to his mouth? Or he then spits just enough out to rub all around? Regardless, the other kids are getting a huge kick out of this phase. Yes, it is JUST a phase right?

Day 277 - 2010

I took Mitchell to get his monthly weigh-in (a few days late oops!). I like to take it nakey-butt to be truly accurate - today he is 19 lbs 5 oz. I guess he is still eating well!

Day 260 - 2010

We are experiencing some success in the sleeping-on-our own time! So cute in his new pajamas!

Day 257 - 2010

Mitchell's first taste of solid food - carrots. He loved them. (1.5 week shy of 6 months)

Day 243 - 2010

Time for Mitchell's 5 month photo shoot. Better late than never.

Day 195 - 2010

First day in the exersaucer! A whole new world is opening up!

Day 176 - 2010

3 months already!

Day 145 - 2010

Mitchell is 2 months old today and so we had another couch photo shoot.

Day 123 - 2010

Mitchell had his hearing test today. He passed and kept on sleeping.

Day 90 - 2010

Mitchell's first doctor visit (weight up to 8lbs 6oz!)

...While his unruly siblings play in the waiting room...
