5 Months Old

Big news at the Diaz household, little Diego Samuel is 5 months old! He is learning all sorts of new things. He rolls from his tummy to his back. He has discovered his feet, and absolutely loves to suck on his little toes...which by the way, is the cutest darn thing I've ever seen! He's drooling and knawing on things like crazy, so I'm pretty sure he is teething. Today, he sat up for a little bit on his own, holding himself up with his hands. He is scooting all over while on his tummy, and gets mad if he can't get where he wants to!
We started a little rice cereal earlier this week, and I think he might be catchin' on a little. He might have even swallowed a little bit of it today, our 4th try!!
We are enjoying every second with our little man!

First Trip!

Diego took his first trip last weekend! We went to my cousin Eden's wedding in Washington. I have to brag here...Diego is the BEST traveler. He was so good, the entire weekend. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We had a wonderful time. We went with my Mom, Sister, Niece and Nephews. The drive was great. We stopped along the way at an estate sale, and then at Ihop for breakfast...yum!

Getting ready to go!

My niece Olivia, isn't she sweet?

Diego with Aunt Erica and Cousin Jagger at Ihop. This was after Jagger ate the whole scoop of butter off his plate.... He had a tummy ache later, I wonder why?

Diego meeting cousin Eden for the first time!

The little boys, just waking up on Saturday morning!

Diego LOVED chillin' on a blanket at the reception. He didn't make a peep during the wedding ceremony!

He even napped on his blankie outside, TWICE during the reception...right through the noise and a live blues band!!!!!

Cant' wait to take him on another adventure!

Just Wakin' Up

I took these pictures of Diego today right after he woke up from a nap, they were so cute I just had to share!

Four Months Old

Happy 4 months Diego! He is growing and changing each day! He rolled over for the first time on June 19th, from his back to his tummy...and I must say he is quite proud of himself! Each time he does it, he smiles when he gets to his tummy. The only trouble is if he gets on to his tummy too soon after eating, he spits up a little...but oh well, a little spit up never hurt anyone! He's enjoying the water in the bath a lot these days and soon we'll have to move the tub to the big tub instead of over the sink, he's growing so fast!



I set up a little photo shoot in the living room for him, and the bottom 3 pics are my faves. I only took a few, but they turned out pretty cute I must say!

Crib Update

So, luckily my husband is a total news junkie, otherwise we wouldn't have known our crib has been recalled due to a safety hazard. So, my hard work of putting him to sleep in his crib will have to wait. I know the crib probably won't break down or anything since I've used it and its fine, but now that I know I'm just not willing to risk it. We'll have to start again once we get the new crib. Not sure how long that will take either. I can't help but breathe a little sigh of relief, I don't think Momma was ready for this any way, so this justifies it a little longer. I just hope this doesn't cause us grief later when we do get the new crib, but I won't worry about that right now.

Asleep in his crib...

Tonight, for the first time, I put Diego to bed in his crib. He takes naps in there regularly, but tonight is the first time I've tried putting him there at bedtime. I'm sitting in bed wishing he would wake up so I could bring him back into our bedroom to sleep in the bassinet. The hardest part is I know he will sleep much better in his own room without our interruptions. I have so many things going through my mind right now. I am petrified of SIDS, worried the baby monitor won't be loud enough for me to hear him (even though his door is literally 10 feet from ours).... I have been thinking about at least trying this for a while now, mainly because his bassinet recommends he only sleep there until he's 18 pounds and I'm pretty sure he's close, and because at some point he needs to be in his own room...I guess. I would be perfectly happy with him sleeping in our bedroom forever (I think), but Eddie doesn't agree. We'll see how tonight goes...I may end up sleeping on the floor in his room.
