Hunny Days

The days of my sweet little immobile hunny are over - we have movement! He can roll around like no body's business. Actually he's inspired my New Year's resolution to keep my house clean... yikes. I have to at least tackle my floors daily since that's his domain and I'd like to keep the fur and dirt in his diaper to a minimum. But it's awesome. I love watching his new developments and remembering how 5 short months ago he was this teeny tiny thing who slept aaallll day.

Speaking of sleep, we went through the 4 Month Sleep Regression thing which SUCKED. I guess it's where babies start sleeping like adults and less like babies so their bodies don't really know how to handle it. Anyway, he was up every hour or so and it just seemed like he couldn't get comfortable. In and out of his crib he went all night. We tried sleeping together, holding his flailing arms, feeding, EVERYTHING and nothing would work. I'm happy (and hesitant) to say that we may have worked through it. For the last few nights he's been sleeping great so I hope that continues.
It's been awhile since I blogged last. We had Thanksgiving at our house and I cooked a great turkey (if I do say so myself) and green bean casserole, of course, and a ham and my family brought the rest. Greyson did so great with all the people around. He's finally accepting a little socializing!

Also my friend Beth and I did a bake sale at one of the holiday bazaars this year and that was fun! And again I can proudly say the Greyson did GREAT. The ladies next to us joked that I had drugged him to get him to behave. Which is SO NOT true. He's just a good boy. It was about 7 hours of bake-sale-ing and he didn't cry or fuss at all and took TWO 2-hour naps through it all. Yes, I'm bragging.

And we've introduced him to solids a little sooner than planned. He's been growing so great with just breast milk that my doctor had advised us to keep up with it until his 6 months appointment but I just couldn't help it! So we started with some mild stuff about 2 weeks ago when he turned 5 months. His favorite so far is smashed bananas, rice cereal, and sweet potatoes. We only do about half of the level 1 jars of food so it's not overwhelming, and we are still breastfeeding so that's his main source of nutrition. But we try to have a little bit of solids 2x a day.

Yes we're still wearing our Halloween onesie. Hey, it still fits!

Well, I think that about covers our news.
