He stayed there for a few minutes too, like he was trying to make sure that we didn't try to do anything like this morning's adventure again!
When do you decide that your baby just won't take a bottle?
This is my favorite card that we received after H was born. It was from a dear family friend - Lynn Siliman. The card was homemade and says:
I am happy when he reaches his milestones..... but I was sort of hoping for a late walker so that he would not be into everything so soon. I would like to put off child-proofing until as late as possible. But, this boy is strong! He can already sit up in the Bumbo seat (for short periods of time), and likes to stand (with our support). It seems that walking may come sooner than I hoped....
We have also discovered that he thinks he is the cutest baby ever! He enjoys smiling, laughing and flirting with himself. 
1. In case you forget their name after becoming frustrated in a battle to get the baby to take a bottle. (In this case the baby won and then wore himself out.)
2. If you are so overwhelmed by their cuteness that you forget their initials!
3. Just in case there are several babies laying on their tummies and they all look similar from the back, you can identify your child by their name.
H has started to love 'flying' in the air. He normally will stick his tongue out and/or start laughing - but not if you put him in the air too fast, then he just looks a little scared.
Other news - we finally found a way that the sling works for us! When he was smaller, he would lay in it and just looked a little uncomfortable and cramped. So, we tried the MaiTai baby carrier which he liked, but I think he needed to be a little bigger for. Then at the recommendation of a friend, we tried the Moby Wrap which we both just adore! It is extremely comfortable for both of us. The only problem with the Moby is that we live in the south and H has eczema. The Moby is a lot of fabric wrapped many times around you so it gets a little warm - and with the humidity and heat here, it gets a little to warm and sometimes aggrivates his eczema. So, we've gone back to the sling and now that H can hold his head up pretty much on his own, we tried a new way to use it - facing out - and it is much cooler and works for both of us. Still not quite as comfy as the Moby, but much cooler. So, that was a lot of words to say that we are back to the sling.
H is able to hold his head up for a longer period of time during tummy time. He is getting a little stronger! He can only handle it for short periods of time though. This picture is of him during tummy time. I think I got a little too close. You can see the double chin he is trying to grow. Exercising still wears him out though....
He gave me a wonderful pair of sandals for my mother's day gift, and wrote the sweetest card (via Daddy). It's hard to see in this picture, but his pacifier says "I love mommy." Very appropriate for Mother's Day. Motherhood is a wonderful calling in life.... when I was young, I remember saying that when I grew up I wanted to be a singer and a Mama - I have accomplished both, and I cannot imagine being happier doing anything else. Wonderful husband, wonderful baby, great jobs, great home, cat, etc.... I can't ask for anything else!
Play time with Nanny - we visit her on Sundays after church and she comes to see us on Thursday mornings. I used to get a hello from her when I saw her, but now the first words out of her mouth are "let me see my baby!" and from there I might as well not even be around - she and H talk and smile and talk some more! I am very thankful to have my grandmother here to spend time with her great-grandson!
