craig & whitney

some things

i know, i am kinda holding him...... but i promise, he is almost sitting up on his own! the problem is that he always wants to stand up instead of sitting, so as soon as i get him balanced he arches his back and locks his legs. little stubborn goober.

last sunday, we were able to get together with craig's family for lunch. craig's dad felt that tagg's church bubble was a tad bit unmanly, so tagg stripped down to his onesie.... tagg is such a people pleaser! :)

tagg went in for his five month check up last week. he weighs about seventeen pounds, is in the 75th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight. he LOVED the mirror being at his eye level. he kept rolling over into the mirror to get a closer look!

he also couldnt get enough of the sterile paper they put down on the table. he was shoveling it in his mouth as fast as he possibly could. who knew that the doctor's office was such a fun place?

fabulous purchase of the week: the three of us went downtown this past week and stopped into my favorite kitchen supply store: sur la table. i picked up these sparkly rubber spatulas and i cannot stop staring at them. i LOVE them. craig says i must have been a moth in a previous life because i am always drawn to anything that sparkles. (i feel like i have already said that on this blog, but i am too lazy/tired to check, so pardon me if i have.)

when the pediatrician said "and make sure you dont have any blankets or stuffed animals in the crib with him, ok?" i just nodded and agreed. however, this is the only way tagg will fall asleep. so, our compromise is to go in after he is asleep and take the blabla away.
