Pumpkin patch

We went to Mosby's Pumpkin Patch in Auburn yesterday. Here are some pictures:

 Boo!

 Miles picked out his pumpkin.

 He didn't like the white pumpkins.

 Big one.

 Little one.

Smiles with daddy.

Acorn squash is messy!

Fun with Food

Miles is starting to try new foods. They are surprisingly cheap and easy to make. I made him an acorn squash yesterday. I baked it in the oven and then mashed it up with a spoon. Then I put it in an ice cube tray to freeze. It was 50 cents and made 16 meals for him plus a side for supper for me!

Enjoying his oatmeal.

Sweet potatoes.

5 1/2 months

Milestones:

-Miles loves rolling. He can roll in every direction now.

-He prefers to play on his tummy now, which is a huge change from screaming every time we put him on his tummy up until this week.

-Miles pushes up on his hands and pivots 360 degrees to play with toys.

-He enjoys sitting and playing with toys. (As long as he is supported a little so he doesn't face plant.)

-Miles tried avocado on Thursday. He made some funny faces but always accepted another spoonful! I hope he takes after his mommy and loves all kinds of foods.

-Napping in his pack and play right now. Proud mama has both arms free to clean (and blog)!

Pictures:

Drool monster.

 Looks like he's ready to take off crawling.

Our little big foot needed new socks. I got the 12-24 months size because I thought he could grow into them, but they fit now.

 Talking to his snail toy.

 So sleepy after a big day yesterday.

Cooking with mama

Miles thought it was hilarious to cook beef.

More 5 month pictures!

Miles loves playing with his big bear.

Rolling and sleeping

We have a roller! Miles started pushing up on his hands during tummy time. I was talking to him while he was doing tummy time today and pushing up on his hands. I said, "one of these days, you will push up on your hands and roll right over."

Less than 30 seconds later, he did! Jared and I both saw him do it and cheered. He looked at us like we're crazy. Now Miles can roll in both directions. Guess we have to start babyproofing soon. :)

Jared got a picture of us sleeping:
