Hullabaloo

          Today, EJ went to his first concert.  We went to see Hullabaloo with a couple of EJ's baby buddies and had a great time!

EJ was extremely excited.

The toddler mosh pit got pretty crazy.

The Bernardo Winery Artist Village and Shops, where they played.

Our mom and baby friends.

Fun fact: Baby Andrew's mom gave me some clothes that Andrew outgrew and EJ's wearing some now and will grow into the others.  The funny part is that EJ is two weeks older than Andrew.  Sometimes it pays off to be littler than the other guys!

NICU Diaries

          I forgot to post about this, but a couple weeks ago, I wrote a guest post on my sister in law Anna's blog, Knit One, Yarn Over, as part of a series she started called NICU Diaries.  Anna and my brother Alex's son, Johnny, spent nine days in the NICU when he was born, so when he and EJ meet in person this summer, they'll have lots to talk about. 

          Here's a TBT picture from EJ's NICU days...  

  

Plastic Links

EJ is really into his plastic links right now.  They're his favorite!

Play Date

          EJ and I met up with some other moms and babies last week for his first official play date.  Apparently EJ finds staring at other babies exhausting, because he slept through the majority of it.  Even another baby trying to roll over onto EJ didn't faze him. That's my kid all right.

Rolling Over

Milestone: Rolling Over!

          EJ reached another milestone today: he rolled over!  He's been really close to rolling over lately, so I was prepared with the camera.

Milestone: rolling from front to back
Age: 5 months 1 week 4 days actual age (23 weeks 1 day); 3 months 2 days adjusted age (13 weeks 1 day)

Here are some pictures leading up to the big event.

Hanging out and playing with his beloved plastic links...

At this point, I was pretty sure he was going over, so I switched to making a video.  This is a very thoroughly documented first roll--clearly, he's a first baby. :)

So proud of himself!

Big Time Cutie

          EJ's Grandma Bobbie sent him this onesie, and I, EJ's totally unbiased mother, think it's pretty accurate.

Still very into chewing on his left hand.

Working on being intimidating.
