We went to go see Daddy's hockey team play in the championship game tonight! They lost, but I cheered for the Nutcrackers! :) Daddy wasn't playing because he still wasn't feeling great from the weekend. I was still cute though!!
We had another successful meal of squash tonight!
and Mommy didn't realize it, but my Jumperoo is still at the same level, it's just the Exersaucer that was moved up!

Catching up, part 1
We will try to fill in what happened since we last posted...
We had Easter at home - Mommy hid plastic Easter Eggs for Daddy (since neither of them eat hard boiled eggs), and I had fun watching Daddy look for them! I could see most of them, but Mommy told me not to tell him where they were - Daddy tried to get me to tell, but I didn't! I was a good boy!
I had lots of Easter cards and everyone loves me! And I love them! Happy Easter!
The next weekend (4/10), we went to visit Grandma and Granddad B, but I had a meltdown on the way there, and we got stuck in traffic, so we stopped at Grandmom and Grandpop H's to wait out the traffic. I was a cranky baby and didn't want anyone but Mommy or Daddy to hold me. With all the delays, we never made it to see Grandma that night - we went straight to the hotel. I am only good for about 2 hours in the car - then I am DONE. D-O-N-E done. I must be out of the car. When we finally made it to Grandma B's the next day, we had lunch and then I had some presents to open! I got summer clothes and some new toys!
Until this point, I was not very good at eating. The dr had told us at the 4 month appt in March that we could start solid foods, but I wasn't even having much of the rice cereal, I really just wanted the bottle! So Grandma showed Mommy how to feed me while holding me, rather than having me in a high chair. It was fun! I ate that whole tsp of cereal in a hurry! Later than night, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma, Granddad, G-ma, cousin Taylor, Uncle Mark and Jenn all went to a dinner for Grandma, where she got an award for volunteering! YAY! Before they left, they took me over next door to meet Donna, and she watched me for a few hours. She seemed a little overwhelmed by all the stuff Mommy brought, but she didn't need most of it. My teeth weren't bothering me much. We played and her kids and husband came home from dinner and played with me too. I had fun!
Mommy didn't realize until later that I never got to see G-ma that day. We were sad. Sorry, G-ma - we will make it up to you next time!
The next day, we went to Grandmom H's and I took a nap over at Charlotte's in her pack and play. It's a good thing she has that for her grandkids, Chloe and Clark. It was a nice place to sleep. Thanks, Charlotte! Then I hung out with Mommy while Daddy and his friends watched the hockey game. They scared me when they cheered because it was so loud - I was crying - I didn't know what was going on! I calmed down eventually and then Grandmom took me for a walk in a stroller they borrowed from cousin Bobby. Mommy and Daddy learned the lesson of not going anywhere without a stroller! Then Mommy and Daddy had dinner out at Champps while Grandmom and Grandpop watched me :) We left the next day to come home - we were all glad to sleep in our own beds!

April showers bring May flowers!
What a HOT weekend! It's beautiful to look at - in the 90s today! Wish the pool was open.
Mommy hasn't updated in awhile, so we're going to hit the highlights from this past week.
-I do NOT like bananas
-I do like squash, peas, and sweet potatoes. I believe carrots and green beans are up next ;)
-I have been doing great with eating!
-Daddy has moved both my Jumperoo and Exersaucer up to the next level! I am growing! No books needed underneath!
-I survived a night with Daddy while he was sick and Mommy was out at a pre-retirement party for one of her professors from college
-Today I was having some tummy time on my mat,and I spun myself around in a complete circle! I was actually trying to reach something, but I couldn't get to it and just kept spinning myself around :)
-The past couple of weeks I have visited both of Daddy's college classes so the students and professors could see me - they've all been hearing about me since I was in Mommy's tummy, and they wanted to see me in person. I did not disappoint! I was a smiley baby and loved them all!
Mommy is putting together her list of questions for my 6 month doctor's appt, which will be in a couple of weeks. I will be 6 months old on Mother's Day! Mommy is very happy about that!

Noisy baby
Here I am in my exersaucer - I really want to break this open and get to the things inside. I get really mad when I can't! Daddy thinks it's great that I take one of the other toys on here and try to bang on this to get it to open - how good of me to problem solve like that!
Lately I've been testing out new sounds and squeals - sounds like I'm mad sometimes but I can't be, because I'm still smiling! Mommy and Daddy think it's too funny. They love to listen to me. The one night, I made the weird sound, and I started pulling up on my bib with one hand like I was trying to hang myself with it! Mommy and Daddy cracked up laughing! So I kept doing it!
Also, Mommy had a biospy done of a mole on her shoulder - the rest results came back, and all is normal. YAY!
A few weeks ago...
The weather started getting really nice, so Mommy started taking me for walks outside! That is so much fun! There are all kinds of things to look at and hear - people talking, kids playing, dogs barking, cars going by. The sun gets in my eyes sometimes, so Mommy bought me a cute pair of Winnie the Pooh sunglasses at CVS. I wear them in the car too sometimes! 
The weekend after St Patrick's Day, Grandma and Granddad B came to visit. Grandma thought Mommy needed a smaller stroller to get up and down the stairs, so she bought me a Cars themed umbrella stroller at Kmart! It's black and orange and has Lightning McQueen on it! I love it! It's fun to take walks in that stroller too. Mommy also went to a consignment sale that day and got some lighter PJs for me to wear and also some summer clothes, including a swim suit! She can't wait to take me in a pool and teach me how to swim!
Mommy took me to see Daddy play hockey again that Monday. I was good during the game, but I had a meltdown on the way home. They think I was overstimulated. I don't know, I just know I was unhappy and I had to tell someone about it - VERY LOUDLY! Mommy's heart was racing and so she dropped me and Daddy off at home and went to pick up Wendy's for dinner.
The next weekend, Grandmom and Grandpop H came to visit me for the first time! They came on Friday while Mommy was still at work. We had lots of fun with them. Grandpop was a little scary though. His hair was out of control! But he did pick up my first pair of chucks (shoes)! Mommy posted a picture of those the other day on here! They also gave me Easter cards from them and GreatGrandmom H. There were baby chicks and bunnies and everyone loves me, they say! Oh, and I got a big yellow fuzzy duck too! I talk to him when I'm playing in my crib. :)

We're rollin' rollin' rollin'...
I rolled over onto my tummy twice last night, and Daddy got scared so he had Mommy roll me back onto my back, but then Mommy had me on the floor today (in the new office!), and I rolled from my belly to my back 3 times in a row! Mind you, I was not happy about it. I was tired. :)
Since Mommy and Daddy had a leak above Daddy's computer, he moved a bunch of stuff from his desk into the other room and then had an idea to take the computer and desk into the guest room. This developed into turning the guest room into an office! We put the bed up on Freecycle (www.freecycle.org), and everything else is in place. Mommy and Daddy have to find places to put all the stuff that was under and on that bed though!

Happy St Patrick's Day!
Ok, so it's a little late, but how cute am I? I'm playing peekaboo with Daddy in this picture.
This next picture shows the back of the special outfit Grandma and Granddad got me - it says My 1st St Patrick's Day! The third picture shows the bib a little better - it says Kiss Me I'm Irish!
