I didn't get a picture today because that poor kiddo was so tired when I got home we just got on the fast track to bedtime. This is a picture from yesterday, when G was hanging with his Uncle Chris. Today was tough, he woke up early and didn't nap well - this morning I thought he might not be feeling well and Jason said that he thought the same thing during the day. I think it might be teeth, but I guess we won't know until they actually get here. Poor kiddo, it's tough to be a baby sometimes. I did get my smiles and hugs when I got home though, and that always picks me up. He was pretty giggly in the bath tub and even though he was tired, he wasn't very fussy. He goes back to the doctor on Wednesday for his 6 month checkup and then we are going to visit Grangingy.

Please excuse the bib on my baby - this is a gift from Uncle Brandon (also pictured) and I put it on him today so that once Uncle Brandon leaves, it can "mysteriously" disappear. Gage had a great day today! He was in a great mood, took long naps (and so did Mama), and was overall super fun to play with. Uncles Brandon and Chris got here a little after lunch time and had a lot of fun with G man. He was really interested in Uncle Chris' beard and was being super cute with him. He has been gnawing on my chin a LOT today and I have some marks on me now - those teeth are NO joke. The drool has increased substantially and the kid has been jamming his fingers in his mouth all day, so I'm wondering if we are going to be getting those top teeth soon. We practiced crawling again today and he's still using his "push and pull" method that includes pushing his head along the floor to get where he wants to go. It's been a big weekend full of visitors and Gage has had fun with everyone.

Well, we had visitors all day today, so I forgot to take a picture today. This is a picture Jason took earlier this week while he was playing in the exersaucer.

My friend Chris stayed with us the last couple of nights and left this afternoon. Right after he left, my friend Lusana came by to meet little man. He charmed everyone, of course - he even had Lusana so starry-eyed that she offered to let him stay the night at her house. That little dude knows how to work it.

He got up early this morning, around 6a, but he was pretty cute all day and took his naps without much fuss. We played and cuddled and visited. It was a fun day hanging out with the Monkey.

Cute monkey! My friend Chris is in town and he took this picture while he was hanging out with J and the kiddo today. J said that they had a lot of fun today and G was back on a better schedule, taking his naps and being super sweet. When I got home he was in a great mood and finishing up his last bottle. We had some green beans and squash, which he likes. Eating time has gotten so exciting for him, he just loves it. He was super smiley in the bathtub and we had a lot of fun. We read The Cat in the Hat Comes Back before bed and he loves the pictures. We hugged and traded some eskimo kisses and he was giving me the sweetest smiles. I laid him in bed and after giving me another smile, he rolled over on his side and went right to sleep. Such a sweet baby, I love those kind of nights/moments.

*Edited: I was reminded that I totally forgot to mention that he is trying to crawl. J got a video of him doing his new "push head forward" move that ALMOST looks like a crawl.
