No, no, no....

That's what I said today. Bishop has discovered that if he doesn't like the food he is eating, if it is not the optimum temperature or texture that he likes, or if he is full....he can just spit it everywhere. "Blowing rasberries" so I have heard it termed...not sure who gave it that name. Anyway, it goes EVERYWHERE and it is not pretty. I try to tell him no, even though he has no idea what I mean and just gives me a huge mouth-full-of-food grin. So hard not to laugh! It feels weird; I really don't like telling my sweet baby boy no already!!

Destin...

I love Destin. I could live there. Well, I could if I won the lottery. Otherwise, I guess I'll just visit. Anyway, we just got back from Bishop's first (of many) vacations with the Warringtons. Actually now, it has been about a month ago...I'm just behind AGAIN. We had a lot of fun! It is amazing how different our vacations are now! We spent more time planning what we were going to be doing (around naps, eating, etc) than we did actually doing things! I would not have it any other way tho! We still managed to make it to the beach (for a very short period of time), pool, the outlet mall a few times (during naps), and to Baytowne. We of course ate some fabulous food! We can't wait to do it again next year! We have already decided, however, that we are taking a sitter for some extra hands....next year they will be all over the place!

Five Months

Really? Five months already?? Ok, time for the monthly tear. Although it is hard to believe, I love this little guy more and more every single day!

Five-month-old Bishop......

• Loves his Jumperoo...he jumps and jumps...and jumps! He still loves the toy that we inherited from Max that plays music when he kicks it. We play with one for a while, then switch to the other. He still will swing some...but mainly just when he watches his Baby Einstein videos. Those are weird, btw...but he loves them.
• Rolls all of the time. It is getting hard to change his diaper when he is constantly trying to roll over.
• Still sleeps pretty good...just got back rom Destin so he is a little off of his routine....I know he will get it back tho. He has been waking up around 5:30 or so wanting to eat and go back to sleep.
• LOVES plain cereal....says "mmmm" after every bite! Loves sweet potatoes and bananas too. The only green food we have tried so far has been sweet peas- not a fan. Also, not a fan of avacodo. At all. Will also have to try again on those. He likes prunes (especially mixed with apples), apples, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes.
• Still talks a good bit...maybe not AS much, but still a lot.
• Possibly teething...not sleeping or eating quite as well and is a little more fussy...although he is still a super happy baby. He has gone through a phase of not drinking as much milk...at least in a bottle. He barely would take any out of a bottle but has gotten better in the last few days. He still lapped up the cereal though!
• Still shakes his head to go to sleep..it is the sweetest thing ever! He also likes to wallow in his blankets (I know, not supposed to have blankets in the bed...but he LOVES them!) I don't let him sleep at night with them. He also loves "Dougie", a new cuddley frog that we got at Baytowne Warf as Froggy's replacement. We somehow managed to lose "Froggy" (his Wubba Nub) , while on vacay...but he NEVER actually sucked the paci part anyway. He just chewed it...so we got him a replacement that is super soft and does not have a paci. He's a happy kiddo.
• Such a snuggle bug...love this boy!!

More please......

This kiddo LOVES sweet potatoes!!! (avacodos.....not so much)

PCDA Banquet

Leon hosted his first PCDA banquet last Thursday and although he was super nervous about...it turned out to be a very good night! Bishop stayed with his Mamaw Kathy and Papaw....the first time someone other than me put him to bed at night! He did great, of course, but I was ready to get home and see him!

GO DAWGS!!!

What a weekend!!! I'm pooped! We went to Starkville to stay the weekend with the Christophers along with the Millers (JR, Ashley, Grant, and baby Tri),  Ashley B and Karson, and Shack. We had SO much fun! Friday we grilled out and Saturday we went to the game....well, some went to the game. Bishop and I opted to tailgate the entire day. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and we enjoyed every minute of it. Nothing better than MSU football on a gorgeous fall day!.....Especially on a day that the Bulldogs WIN! Woo hoo! I have to say-it is much different going to the Junction with a 4 1/2 month old baby...but I would not trade it for the world. Bishop loves being outside and watching people, so this was right up his alley! I am already looking forward to next time!

Happy to be a Bulldog

Bananas

Well, the banana experience did not go as planned. I don't think he was digging the texture or something. He almost gagged with every bite. I can't say I blame him...pureed bananas look GROSS. They get all liquidy and brown...I had to add cereal to them. I'm not going to give up yet, but we may need to go with the store bought kind for this one!
