5 Months!

Jimi is 5 months old!

Well, sort of... there is no February 30th so he's in limbo between 4 and 6 months.



He was more interested in Penny who was standing outside the doorway



Last week we took what was supposed to be a day trip over to Ellensburg so that James could audition for CWU's conducting master's program and to visit friends. As soon as we crossed the Snoqualmie Pass, they closed it due to multiple accidents. Of course, I had only packed supplies for Jimi to last the day so we had to take a quick trip to Fred Meyer for more diapers, formula, and some pj's. Our friends Dan and Zita were nice enough to put us up for the night. We eventually made our way back over the mountains by taking Stevens Pass, which took twice as long but we made it back safely. It was nice to be able to spend a little more time with friends and James got to go listen to CWU's big band the next day while Jimi and I walked around the campus.

A few days after returning from Ellensburg, Jimi developed his first cold. He's still working through it. A 5 month old with a hoarse voice is the most pitiful thing ever. We got a humidifier to put in his "nook" and it seems to be helping so far. Hopefully he feels better soon.

In other Jimi news: He is getting better and better at sitting on his own. He is NOT a fan of carrots. He has decided that he needs to eat every 3 hours during the night again. Instead of working on pulling himself to standing, he thinks the way to go is pushing off the floor while sitting up. This usually just leaves him on his back unless I'm there to assist. He will pick up a toy he's dropped on the floor if you hold him over it. He thinks anything that is in your hands belongs in his mouth. He enjoys being read to but mostly he enjoys eating books. AND... He is the cutest baby ever.
