Today Leif is 5 months old! He can now successfully roll from tummy to back, grab everything with both hands, support his head, giggle, cry big tears, and hold his own bottle. And Mama Nichi is now 32. Doesn't feel any different than being 31 (except the aftermath of pregnancy/birth was not kind to my body, but when is it?).
Weekly recap!
Monday-hubs took the family on a short hike while I worked/waited to grab lunch. He broke out our jogger-Leif is still kind of little for it, but hubs made it work.
Tuesday-nothing too exciting except my AC stopped working in my car. Ugh. Angela watched Leif while hubs went to work; look at my big boy holding his own bottle now!
Wednesday-I took the day off on my birthday; dropped my car off to get it looked at. I got to spend the day with Leif though while hubs worked, that was nice. But...$1,200 and a new compressor later, my car was working again. Sigh. Thankfully Father-in-Law came to the rescue and helped us out financially. That was super sweet of him! Once hubs returned from work, we hung out at home waiting for Leif to wake up and then had a late lunch/early dinner at El Torito.
Thursday/Friday-nothing too exciting, just went to work. But hubs had some fun with Leif, hat day!
Saturday-woke up and....cleaned! That's probably my favorite thing to do the first day of a weekend/break. I know I'm weird. I vacuumed and steam cleaned most of the apartment, organized a lot of things, then we hit the road to celebrate my birthday-Camarillo Outlet Mall shopping! Hubs was a champ and lasted most the day while I shopped. So did Leif!
 |
| Score! My favorite was the Banana Republic Outlet, 50% off everything! |
Sunday hubs had to work, so another day with Leif which was really fun. He's growing so quickly! And Sunday was the FIRST day he rolled over without assistance!!!
 |
| This was taken about a couple minutes before he rolled over! |
 |
| Same day, but he got a little poop on the other onesie, haha. He's so handsy and he puts everything into his mouth now! |
And yesterday Leif woke me up bright and early; hubs stayed up late Sunday night working on his computer so we let him sleep while I took Leif and Miles on a quick stroll around the block. Finished vacuuming too! Then we took a quick trip to get lunch and hit Target, and then hubs finished working while I played with Leif.
 |
| He loves this exersaucer! He kept putting his mouth on the cup he's grasping |
 |
| And I don't know why I'm so proud, but he's constantly sucking his left thumb, just like I used to. He's so cute when he sucks his thumb! |
I can't believe May is almost over! I booked our flight to New York for August last week, and the folks reserved our hotels, so we are all set! I can't believe Leif will take his first flight in less than 3 months (wish us luck). And in two months Leif will attend his first wedding! AND tomorrow the folks fly in! AND in July the in-laws are visiting! This summer is just packed with lots of fun adventures! :)
