Mr. 6 Months!

Accomplishments include rolling to his side, sitting up, hand to hand transfer, bringing things to his mouth, recognizing favorite songs and games, joking and rough housing with his sister, saying "ma-ma" (once), starting to try foods (so far pumpkin is the only thumbs up).

One Month

Arlo at one month old:

Loves to...

* nap in the stretchy baby wrap

* go on nature walks with his big sister (especially pleasant when Mama remembers his sun hat!)

* nurse all day and night

* lift his head and chest up to look at light and shadows

* have cool down tubbies in the sink

* rock with Daddy in the glider chair

* lay on the grass in the garden

* listen to Millie Bea sing

* have his head rubbed

Dislikes...

* belly bubbles during the night

* the sound of plastic bags

Fun facts...

* when he fusses to nurse he sounds like a baby dinosaur

* he quickly outgrew all the tiny baby clothes and is wearing 3-6month onesies 

* when his belly is full and he stays awake, he likes to be sitting up facing us and gives the biggest open mouth smiles while we talk to him

* he is the sweetest, softest boy in the whole wide world!

Dream babies

My beauties, waking up together.

Hello Baby

**not sure what blogger is up to, but there should be 3 posts now with Arlo pics, in the wrong order probably)**

Our beautiful boy was born at home after 3.5 hours of active labor. Everything went great and we are very happy we planned a homebirth. Millie Bea is adjusting well. Arlo is sweeter than we ever could have imagined. Here are some (more) of his newborn pictures.

Happy 2 weeks Arlo!

Yesterday marked Arlo's 2 weeks on the other side of the belly. I'm hoping to get a chance to write down his birth story soon and upload some more photos. For now we're just enjoying his tiny boyness. Millie keeps saying "it's so fun to have a newborn!" :)
