Tommy's 5 Months







Tommy is 5 months old today! As of last week he was 17.5 lbs. We have yet to go in for his 4 month check up, that will be next week-whoops a little late!



Harry started Mother's Day Out and has moved up into the "Older Toddler" room. He talks about his "new room" all the time and now and he is sleeping on a mat/cot. He loves it and looks forward to "school" each week. He is going one day a week.

Harry turns 2 Celebrations

Harry turned 2 and literally changed over night. He is saying 5 word sentences, pointing everything out, telling me about his dreams, asking questions about every single solitary thing we do, seems very interested in the world. He is into all kinds of sports especially tennis and golf, he loves swimming at the pool, playing with his cousin Johnny, cooking things in his play microwave, drawing and tracing his hands, looking for bunnies in the front yard, climbing on ever piece of furniture, will jump on the bed for hours if I let him, dances to any kind of music but lately loves Garth Brooks, has started to play more with Tommy and asks where he is constantly if not in the same room as him, loves closing and opening doors, enjoys singing songs and tons of other toddler games-I cant think of it all but I want to put it in the blog so I never forget these times. I absolutely love this age, but I do not love discipline. I feel like Harry is in time out quite often, he always is testing his limits and making me count to three. I hope this is just a temporary stage, because I do not like being the bad guy.



Pre-Birthday swimming 



We brought the Bumbo to the pool so Tommy could watch all the fun, no swimming until 6 months


Picnic at the pool



We woke Harry the morning of his birthday and he was so confused. He kept saying Balloons Harry's Birthday!



We brought balloons in to say Happy Birthday!



He had to have the balloons with him at all times that day



Harry's friend Brielle came over to play, all the way from New York

This Morning....

I was looking all around the house this morning for Harry trying to get ready for our morning walk....and this is what I found him doing :)


Harry was in Tommy's room holding his hands, absolutely melted my heart. He kept saying "hold Tommy hand" "tickle, hehe" it was so stinkin cute. He went in there and kept touching his hand for almost 10 minutes. It was amazing to me. Harry has not been that interested in Tommy. He likes to bring him things and asks a lot of questions about him, but he never really interacts with him like this. A glance of what the future may hold!!!


Harry standing outside Tommy's crib. Pardon my pictures, they are with my phone.


This morning Tommy tried rice cereal for the first time, and actually really liked it. I figure he is going to be 5 months next week, so it was time. He is very interested in food!


Mmmmm Mom, what is this? Give me some more!!!
