Rubber Ducky

Check me out in my big boy bath seat! Bet you wish you could take your bath in one too, huh?

LOOK AT ME

It's official, he can now sit up all by himself.

He is getting bigger by the minute. He continues to be a super happy boy who squeals and "talks" nonstop. He is still sticking to the vowel sounds, but studies my mouth when I try to get him to mimic dadadada, babababa or mamamama. He responds well to his name and wants to make sure he can always see you. You can pretty much count on him being ready for a nap 2 hours after he eats. You can't, however, predict how long he will sleep...for example, today he slept a TOTAL of 1 hour and 15 minutes. Needless to say I didn't get much done today and he is going to bed early tonight! Hampton is now eating green beans in addition to his rice cereal and peas. I think we will try avocado this week. YUMMY! Work has been really busy for Ben and he has been traveling more than normal. It is such a blessing to see Hampton light up when his Daddy comes home. He really likes to try to steal Ben's blackberry while he is sending emails and gets truly excited to sit with Daddy while they watch football (not really anything else...just football). Hampton starts to squeal, so Ben turns up the TV...Hampton squeals louder, so Ben turns up the TV more...before you know it the living room is really loud :).

I'm excited for you all to see him soon. He has changed so much. I was just telling my mom, Hampton is more fun by the day and I don't know how I could love anything anymore than I love him! He continues to be the joy of our lives.

Peas Please

On Hampton's 23 week birthday, he tried peas for the first time. Candice inspired me to try making my own baby food. So far, so good. The video shows his reaction to the first few bites, but by the end he was loving it.
