Something New!

So I didn't get back to blogging as quick as I had hoped. Here are some new pics of Abishai's new additions. He is doing pretty well with them. It was only difficult the first couple days. He is sleeping a lot better now and he's a lot less fussy. I am not giving him food yet, but I am giving him things to suck on in the mesh feeder. The Dr. said there's no rush to give him real food yet. So for now he's trying new things here and there. He still won't take a bottle, so I guess we are still attached at the.....hip...yeah. :)

Ok here we go...

First off, a cute little giraffe.

Ok, here they are! I can't believe he's getting teeth already. My baby's not a baby anymore!!

Doing some tummy time, still no crawling though.

Sucking on some apples. He liked those and strawberries.

That's the latest for now. Thanks for checking in on us!!

Our Trip to Wisconsin.....

Last week we spent about 4 days in Wisconsin visiting Andy's dad side of the family. It was great fun!! Beautiful cool weather and tons of laughs!! We have been planning on going up there for a while but the timing has not been good with an impending baby arriving. So we finally got there after Abishai turned 4 months. I was very leery of taking a newborn on airplanes.   Anyway, we got a chance to take Andy's grampa Rod fishing. He apparently loves to fish!! We also had a picnic with family that I never met before. Sorry I don't have a lot of pictures. I know Neika has some on her camera that I need to get also.  Here are some that I do  have.

The view from the fishing boat.

Neika caught the first one!! I think it may have been the biggest too.

Andy's little fish, had to let that one live.

The cousins the day we left. 

We were sad to say goodbye but we hope to get back and visit again before too long. 

Another big milestone that I failed to mention, Abishai has two teeth!! It is crazy how much he is growing! I really can't believe it. He's not a little baby anymore! Here's a pic of him from today. I don't however have a good pic of the teeth yet. That will be coming later.

Trying to eat a rice cookie. He can't really hold on to it yet. 

More blogging to come.... 

What's been going on...

I don't really know what the usual protocol for this is but last night we finally broke down and let Abishai have a taste of cereal. He got pretty frustrated because he couldn't suck on the spoon. He did get some down though. We tried it again today and he did really well opening his mouth and suck down some of the cereal but he did end up wearing a lot of it. He doesn't quite get the idea but that's ok, I don't want him to start eating me out of house and home yet!! He really wants to keep his hands in his mouth all day so we figured we'd try something different.  I didn't take any pics yet of him actually eating it but I did take one of his sitting in his Bumbo seat on the table. He is holding himself up really well now so that seat comes in handy when I want to do things in the kitchen. Here are a couple recent pics. 

Taking a nap on mommy and daddy's bed...He looks so huge!!

Jumper in the jumperoo...

Mommy and Abishai on the couch...

Sitting up in his chair...

Napping in the swing, I had to take a pic of his cute outfit I found at Target. I love the colors!! (I actually matched him for the day but we never got a pic :(

That's all for now, until we take some more pictures!!
