Memorial Day Weekend

Busy weekend as usual... I just figured out Saturday morning that I love going to places like Target really early in the morning before everyone else is up and out. I just fed Solomon, changed into workout clothes and headed out. There was hardly anyone at the store and it was so easy to get around. Plus, Solomon loves the mornings, so it was easier to get him going.


I've posted some new photos of our little man at: http://www.haverhillstudios.com/gallery/albun08.
Also, here are a few new videos of him. I've had trouble getting one of him crawling. He seems to sense a video camera, as I do. I'll grab the camera as he is crawling and instantly, he stops and looks back at me... so the one on here is so so..

Talking about something very important

Part II
I'm in Washington D.C. for work today and tomorrow. My flights were a little messed up yesterday but I ended up getting in on time afterall!! Yea! The weather is great here. They had fireworks last night and a today they had a George W. Bush impersonator. Definitely catering to an older crowd, humor-wise, but he was actually really funny... he just ran a little long. We went to some super hip club last night that was annoying. Tonight, I hope to grab some dinner and sleep a little!

It seems like Solomon had a good day with my dad yesterday. He's at daycare today and with my mom tomorrow. I can't wait to get back to see the little guy. Alex put me on speakerphone when I called yesterday and said that Solomon's face lit up when he heard my voice. He's such a sweetie.

A few more videos.......

Update

I don't really have too much to update...
Solomon turned eight months old on Thursday. He's been waving bye/hi to people, which is kind of fun and randomly clapping as well.. although there's not really much sound, just the movement.
We went to a friend's BBQ on Friday. It was fun, but I had to leave early to get Solomon to bed. A deer walked right in front of my car on the way home.. a little scary, but it wasn't too close. We took Solomon to Waterbabies on Saturday morning and then to my friend Kerri's graduation/early b-day/housewarming party that afternoon.
Today, we installed the upright carseat in one of our cars. It was kind of a nightmare, mostly b/c of the cryptic instructions. After we had it installed, we realized how easy it was. However, the instructions were annoying and Solomon wasn't really cooperating either.
I did find a good deal on baby formula at Target today. Solomon is fully on formula now. I had almost two months of free formula from my doctor, so I'm having to buy some now.
Back to work tomorrow.

New Videos/Pictures

Sunday is my first Mother's Day, so Solomon decided to make me a little something at daycare. His teachers assured me that he made this flower pot. At least I do know that he contributed the handprint. Either way, it's pretty cute!

The next picture is of Solomon in his swim trunks right before Waterbabies a few weeks ago. He's already sporting a better tan than I've ever had in my entire life. What a sweetie.

Solomon is really starting to respond to Coco. It's pretty cute. He really likes her as you can see in the video below.

Solomon is trying to figure out the sippy cup. For now, it's more of something he just gums. The squeaky sound cracks me up.

Gettin' a move on

Solomon officially started crawling today. We had him on a blanket on the floor while we were watching TV and he just took (slowly) for a folder of Alex's on the floor. Then, we put the remote control in front of him and he went for that too. I guess we have to watch him much more closely now! Hopefully, I can post a video of it sometime soon. He's mobile!
