We are just having the best time. We have such an active and lively baby. He's so fun to play with and interact with. I can't figure out who exactly he's more like right now...but I think he's mostly just a combination of the two of us and a whole lot of his own person.
Walker has the best personality and is just so fun. Everyone that meets him falls in love with him. So many people have told me over the past few days how "advanced" they feel that he is. Today someone told me he was more advanced than a 5 month old they know. I don't have much to compare it to and try not to spend too much time thinking that way because I know my thoughts tend to be biased. However, I cannot help but feel proud and thankful when people say those things to me. That's my right as a mother. :)
I am looking into other bath time options. He is so wiggly and "hoppy" in the infant tub that I am convinced that despite my toughest efforts he will eventually find his way out of there. He is kicking the bottom of the tub so hard these days while he splashes his legs in the water that I am scared he will get bruises. All the while, laughing and cooing as if he's in his favorite place.
His other very favorite place is on his changing table pad. Not sure why, but this baby LOVES that pad...and especially if he's naked. Ever want to see the worlds cutest and most fun loving personality come out, take off his clothes. We'll have to work on this as he gets older... :)
I'm trying to wean him from having to sleep on his incline. For newer blog readers...he's on an incline because of his reflux. But now that he's moving so much I come in and find him in all sorts of odd positions. I am so afraid he's going to bury his face and be swaddled up where he can't use his arms to move. I have found him flipped over almost like he tried to sit up, was successful and then fell over...silly boy.
I do love having such a vibrant child. I can tell it's going to be a lot of work keeping up with him. We'll get him in sports early so that he has something to project his energy in to. Maybe chasing him around will help me FINALLY shed the rest of this baby weight.
Walker starts his official child care schedule next week. This week going back to work, we just covered the bases. He will be with Lynn and Brinley on Mondays down the street, Tuesdays Dad will have him, Wednesdays and Thursday my mom will come and keep him and on Fridays, my friend Angela who also lives in our neighborhood will have him. Then come July when school starts back up Judy will come to our house daily. These immediate and future arrangements are just one more way we are so incredibly blessed.
Cliff has taken up golf over the past few months and is really enjoying it. He got new clubs for Christmas and I think it's so cute when I come in and catch him cleaning the clubs...especially the time he was cleaning them before he ever used them. Just random info there...
I've forced myself to start pleasure reading again. I am moving on to read things that are more than baby related. I love reading so much but pleasure reading got put on the back burner for awhile. I'm really enjoying reading a "real" book again.
What a dream I live in. I have the most amazing husband a woman could ever ask for, the most incredible love story ever written as my saving grace and the sweetest, most loving, most adorable baby to ever enter this world...how does it ever get better than this?
