Nicholas is 5 Months Old Today

He loves to eat his rice cereal now...most of it goes in his mouth and less on him!
Nicholas just started noticing our dog, Jake. Here is Jake giving him doggie kisses.

So happy to be clean!

Today was a pretty relaxing day. I don't work on Mondays so Nicholas and I usually spend the better part of the morning cuddling and playing. After a few hours of that, Nicholas is ready to eat and take a nap. I use that time to pick up the house, do some laundry, and read for my class at WSUV. Today, because we had very little food left in our kitchen, Nicholas and I spent the afternoon grocery shopping. He's such a little trooper. I strap him in the Baby Bjorn carrier and walk all around the store. He only gets fussy if I stop moving too long, which helps keep me focused on getting everything done without wandering the aisles looking for stuff we really don't need. He is very alert now and becoming more aware of what is going on around him. Sometimes, if the TV is on, he will stop what he is doing and stare at the screen for a minute or so. Today when I was feeding him he noticed Jake walking around and watched him where ever he went. Jeff and I have treasured every moment of these last 5 months!
