It's been a crazy couple of weeks which would explain my slacking when it comes to updating the blog. Between family visiting, a trip to Chicago to see friends and a business meeting in Miami, I can barely keep my days straight!
Shaun is changing before our very eyes. I can't believe how each day brings something new and different. Today was a big day for him! He ate avocado (see video below) for the first time. Turns out he feels the same way about avocado as his dad does...yuck! And he sat up by himself today both in the bathtub and on his changing pad! He is starting to play games like peek a boo and is really observant. His favorite thing to do is watch Jake walk from room to room. He gets the biggest kick out of it!
Below I am including two videos...one with Shaun eating avocado and the second with him eating oatmeal. What a difference! Our little man absolutely LOVES oatmeal. We can't get it in his mouth fast enough. He even reaches for the bowl sometimes. Love how he opens his mouth wide when he wants another bite.
I am also including some pictures from the past two weeks. The ones with his elephant are his 5 month photos. It's fun to go back and look at his picture each month in that chair. Crazy how much a baby can change in five months! I've also included pictures of him sitting up, eating and one from when my friend Michelle came to visit with her new little boy Dane. And finally one of him in his adorable crab bathing suit from Aunt Di. Too cute!!! Thank goodness it is finally warming up here. Can't wait to take my little man to the beach. Hope you enjoy the pics and videos!!!
5 months old!!!
Who is this big guy next to me???

Sitting up on his changing pad!
A place for friends and family to keep up with the ever exciting life of Mike, Kris, Shaun and Jake. But if we are being completely honest here...mostly it's all about Shaunie!!!

4 month stats
So we finally went to the doctor. Poor Shaun...3 shots later he was one sad little boy. He is still in the 25th percentile for weight...coming in at 12 lbs 5 oz. He is just short of 25 inches which puts him in the 50th percentile for height. Still a little guy but the doctor is pleased and said he is growing right on track!
We started Shaun on rice cereal this week. Just a little bit at night before bed. We've only tried it once and it was quite an adventure. Not sure he knows what to do with it at this point. And from the look on his face, he isn't fond of the taste either. His mood definitely improved after putting him in the tub for some post meal clean-up!
In other news...Shaun is teething! We started noticing he has been a bit fussier than usual the past week or so. I didn't even consider teething because it seemed a little early to me. But after putting a finger in his mouth and feeling his gums I found out the root of our problems. A little tooth making it's way through Shaun's poor gums. Guess I would be fussy too! Ouch!
I can't believe how much Shaun is changing. I race home every day to pick him up from daycare and it is always the highlight of my day. I just can't get enough of my little man. This age is so much fun. Every day it seems he is doing something new. He is getting a lot stronger and is so close to sitting up. He is still not rolling over consistently but every once in a while he will do a little roll to keep us guessing. He loves his bath. Last night he got water on the walls and all over the floor. Quite the splasher! And full of smiles as always!!!

4 months old!
It's hard to believe my sweet baby boy is 4 months old! We go to the doctor next week so I don't have the specifics on how much he has grown but I wanted to share his 4 month pictures with you and a video of him tonight during bath time. All smiles :)
