Sitting up

Mitch can sit up by himself!! We looked at the video monitor the other night and saw Mitch sitting up in his crib. Since then we've moved the crib mattress lower. Here are a couple pictures of him waking up in the morning, happy and ready for the day.

ready. set. NO!

Oh no! This looks too much like crawling. He isn't moving yet but he is getting strong enough to hold himself up on all fours. I better start thinking about baby proofing things.

Outside time

Jeff was throwing the ball for Oli and Mitch was laughing up a storm.

Messy Boy

Mitch is a good eater but you may wonder how much food he actually gets in his mouth after looking at this picture.

Mitchell cousin pictures

Jeff's sisters came over on Saturday so we could get a picture of kids. On the first try, Mitch was hungry and Lauren was being shy. After Mitch was fed and Lauren found a toy snail to hold, we were ready to try again.

Success!!

cropped the good photo to center the kids a little better.

Updated pics of Mitch and Noah playing. They are getting closer to playing together.

Mitch is the bald one.

Toothy Smile

We have a tooth! No pictures because his tongue gets in the way when I try to look at it.
(Mimi suggested I make a note of the event on the blog so I don't have to remember on my own when his first tooth came in.)

First cereal

We tried some rice cereal for Mitch's dinner tonight. He was trying to suck on the spoon like it was a bottle. The cereal was so runny it was hard to keep on the spoon. We aren't sure how much he actually ate and how much went down the front of his shirt.
