What a special day! Jon David got to meet Gideon and Grace and their daughter Tabby. Grace has been praying for several years that the Lord would give us a baby. The last time she was here we had just found out we were expecting. She was so excited. She and Gideon kept saying "We have asked you from the Lord." "You are a miracle baby." "The Lord has sent you to us." I was one proud momma, but even more so thankful to the Lord for his faithfulness to us. Gideon and Grace were in for the Missions Conference. Jon David had is first babysitter, Tiffaney Wilhite Friday night so that Jonathan and I could go to service and out to eat. He did great for her. On Saturday night Jonathan had his first solo evening with him, so I could go to Wendi's for the Missions Dinner with Grace and Gideon.
On Sunday Jon David turned 5 months old, and I am so glad I waited a few days to blog it seems like over the past few days he has done so many new things. One of his new favorite things is the Johnny Jump Up my sweet friend Kristen got him. He doesn't really jump, but he loves to spin around in it.
Jonathan had a 3 day weekend and we LOVE when daddy is home. He loves to play with his daddy.
Yesterday morning, Jonathan said try to sit him up by the boppy. I thought he may stay a few seconds, five minutes later he was still up! I may have already mentioned this but it is my very favorite thing. Each morning Jonathan comes in our room to get ready for work and Jon David goes completly still and watches every move he makes for like 10 minutes. This is him watching him pick out his clothes (please disreguard the spit up) It is so precious!
We went back to the doctor this week and she said to go ahead and start veggies. It is a chore to give him cereal, but after his first bite of carrots he was opening wide for more! Tomorrow we start sweet potatoes.
This is his new thing. It's not the best picture of it but I think he might be trying to become a thumb sucker. I give him his passy before I swaddle him to lay him down for nap or bed time. If I give it to him while he is up he won't really keep it in, but multiple times while he is up he will slip in his thumb and suck it for less than a minute.
Here are a few pictures from his 5 month birthday. The first part of the month started out a little rocky, but since we started cereal my boy has been so sweet, content, and sleeping much better! He has been so happy we have started getting out almost every day. His Aunt Wendi let me use her baby bijorn, and now he loves to be on the go. We have ventured out to Target, the mall, my Nana's house, and yesterday we went to lunch with daddy and to meet baby Ezra.
