Baby Derek Is Five Months Old

And boy is he getting FUN!

For starters, he’s decided that now is time for solid food. He did this by grabbing a celery stick off of the table on Saturday and chowing down. He’s all “Screw purees. I have teeth now, and I’m gonna murder this celery.” And he did. We tried chicken at Mike’s mom’s yesterday. He is.. not a fan. I think I am going to start with some nice rice cereal this week.

He can sit unassisted for minutes at a time. I still sit behind him as he hasn’t figured out what to do if he face plants on the floor. He just kind of lays there and screams until I fix it. It’s pretty stupid.

He really has a lot to say and chats me up all day. Nothing really intelligible (except one morning, it totally sounded like he said “Hello”. Probably coincidence.

His latest trick though, is singing. I managed to catch him on video (he tends to get a little camera shy). Excuse me singing the dorky song I made up for him in the beginning – he likes it if we take turns singing.

    Why bother with the rice cereal if he’s chowing down on sticks of celery? It has no nutritional value and has the consistency of wallpaper paste. Give the poor lad a curry and a beer ;D

    He is so handsome, and getting so big!! If he’s chowing down on celery I’d say he’s going to love you when baby food comes along.

    P.S: Your made up song is cute! :)

    Baby Derek is so cute! Logan mostly skipped pureed foods, he was just never a big fan no matter what we put in the blender.
