What a beautiful Saturday!


Today is beautiful! What a great day to be outside. Unfortunately, LJ is now working EVERY Saturday - Yuck!!! So, Barnes and I invited Erin and Marley to go for a walk with us. We decided to walk down to Five Points and grab some lunch. We ate at Salty Nut Bar/Resturant that was always a favortie in college. What a great way to spend the day and get some exercise as well - it is a little bit of a hike from our house to Five Points and back.

This was Barnes on our way home.

And he was 5 months


So Barnes was 5 months at the end of February - so once again I waited a little over a week to post!

Barnes we can't believe how much you have changed from 4 to 5 months! You are growing like a weed and are about 15 pounds (according to our scales). You still love to smile and laugh. You have rolled over from your stomach to your back several times - I have missed every single time!

You started eating baby food and have eaten everything we have given you! We started on squash on Monday (2/21), then later we gave you sweet potatoes and then carrots. The second night you ate your squash you ate an entire jar! Friday night (2/25) we started sweet potatoes. And on Saturday night you ate an entire jar of each - squash and sweet potatoes!




Sunday night you officially "slept through the night". We put you to bed at 7:30pm woke up at 10:30pm and then slept till 6am - we are calling it! After two nights I started just picking you up and feeding you in your sleep around 10 or 10:30pm and you would sleep all night. You go down so easy. Our routine has become: eating around 2 jars of baby food, bath or just pjs, bottle, book, and bed. You definitely like to sleep and know when you are ready. Some nights I can't even get a page read to you before you start squirming and fussing a little. I know you are ready for bed. I lay you in your bed, tuck you in and you go to sleep on your own. What a blessing you are!



You are at such a fun age! We are enjoying every minute. You are so observant. You look around at your surroundings and love to watch and see what the, dogs are doing.

You are six month clothes, had your photos taken again, went on a rode trip to see mommy's cousins Libby and Emily and spent the day with them. I am trying to enjoy every minute because you are growing so fast.

We love you so much!

Starting last Sunday night
