Andrew, Ingrid, and Rorek's Adventures

Sunday, April 5, 2009

The sun has finally shown its face...

Rorek has been sleeping like a champ the last 5 nights in a row. I have been feeding him at 8pm and he sleeps until about 6am. Downfall, he often wants to stay awake at 6am...so I try my hardest to get him to sleep a bit longer. The fresh air totally wears him out. And we have been outside multiple times each day, at the park, on walks, running errands etc.

Rorek is also working on getting on his hands and knees and "reving his engine". No forward movements yet, but he does slide on his belly backwards very well :). Often, in circles and under furniture.

"Help! I'm stuck".

Helping mom with laundry.

A bit worn out after a visit to the park.

Swings. Feet. Chubby Legs.

Mom decided it was time for me to try out the swing.
I think I like it, at least when it's warm outside.

"I'm a model"...

I spend a LOT of time holding my legs up.

Mom makes me go outside, even when it's windy.

Like I said, a LOT of time...it's helpful when being changed...and I can even taste my feet :)
UNC Tarheel socks, thanks to Emma!!

Weight: 15lbs 13.5 ozs (50th percentile)
Height: ?? (10th percentile)
(and I was told he looked big?!?)
babbling a TON
loves his legs/feet
getting better at sitting
slides himself backwards on his belly
hates to have his nose suctioned out (been very congested the last week; having to sleep part of the nite on mom at a slight incline)
very interested in watching us eat (waiting until 6 months to start food)

Not much happening here...the sun has been showing up once in a while. We try to go out daily just for some fresh air. We have started packing for our trip to Iowa/ND. Rorek has 3 suitcases/bags and I have one. Goes to show how packing changes with a kid. Although, most of the stuff will stay in Iowa once we come back here. It's odds and ends that I won't have to bring next time when we move.

Andrew will be heading out sometime soon. Rorek and I will be having a TON of one on one time. I hope we don't drive each other too crazy ;). I always need that little break in the evening when Andrew entertains for a bit.

Saturday, Rorek and I are walking a 5k with a couple of my friends and their daughters. I'm hoping the weather is beautiful that day!! I wish I could run it, but I haven't gotten into running again (yet). I have a treadmill awaiting me in Iowa. I "get" the joy of putting it together, too. It will be great to be able to get a run or walk in while Rorek sleeps in the next room. And to have it there once we move and not have to wait for the movers to bring it.
