Rocky at 5 Months

Now at 5 months, Rocky is getting very excited about life. 

Here Rocky is showing off his rolling-over skills

Rocky sure loves his toys!
 

 Mom sure loves her Rock.


Rocky was introduced to solid foods this month.  He loves his rice cereal and is such a good little eater.  

This is a video of Rocky's very first bite of food.  


I made the mistake of mixing a multivitamin with rice cereal.  I didn't think Rocky would notice, but sure enough he did.  You can tell in the video that he didn't like it very much.  He was such a trooper, and ate it anyway.  

Rocky has decided he likes to spit food right back at mom as a funny joke.  I've learned to wear an apron while feeding him.  

 
Rocky is great at finishing his meal and likes to lick the bowl clean.  Silly Rocky.


This good lookin' boy has a smile just like his daddy.


Up until now Rocky's slept with a swaddle.  It's been super helpful at keeping his wild arms from waking him up.  Unfortunately, he has now outgrown it.  Every time I put the swaddle on, he wiggles right out of it.  Bye Bye baby, hello little baby.  

Rocky loves his bathtime.  Now he's big enough to sit up in the bathtub all by himself.  






Rocky at 4 Months

Rocky at 4 months weighed 17 lbs.  He's getting to be such a big boy!




 Rocky is so good at sitting up now!


 Tummy Time!  Sometimes Rocky likes it, sometimes he doesn't.



Rocky and I got to take a fun trip to Georgia to visit Jessica and her family.  It was so much fun, and Rocky just loves his cousins and aunt!






Rocky on his first flight.  He did great!  I had several people come up to me and say I had such a well behaved baby.  So grateful for Rocky's sweet temper.  



Sending Shelisa love for Valentine's Day! 


On February 18th Caleb and I got to celebrate our 2nd Anniversary!  We were treated to a romantic dinner and show.  I'm so grateful for the past 2 years we've shared and look forward to many more to come!

Christmas 2012


Our family spent Christmas in Salt Lake City with the Merrells.  We loved having Caleb out of school and home with us.  Most of all, we enjoyed seeing all our wonderful family!
