Good things are happening...

Wow! Has it really been 4 months since I updated?!?! Well, I guess it shows how crazy busy we are here in the Holmes Household! In mid-May I went back to work full-time and in mid-June I switched daycare locations and positions. I absolutely love my new job, but it is quite exhausting! I teach 20 three-year olds everyday then come home to my own infant (and husband). Let's just say that momma requires lots and lots of sleep for now!

Reese is an amazing little man! He is growing and learning way too fast for us. He is so smart! He will be turning 6 months old on Sunday, October 4th and there are many new milestones for him:

~Reese has been rolling over for almost 2 months now and is starting to bear his head into the floor and get up on his toes. An early sign of trying to crawl (or creep).

~Reese has been eating cereal and applesauce for about 2 months as well and has been on vegetables for one whole week so far! We started with Sweet Potatoes, of which he is doing fabulously with! I think we're gonna have a good eater on our hands!

~Today, I think I felt the slightest of sharpness on his gums which is probably the beginning of his first tooth! (And if his behavior the last week or so is any signs of how he will be with this whole teething process...Thank you Jesus for such a strong little man! He is an amazing teether!)

~Lots of babbling has been happening lately too! Although I know the things he says are not intentional yet a few of the words we've heard are: "Momma, Dada, Nana, Yum, and All done (seriously, Zac and I both heard something that sounded like it!)

~He still makes the best faces that we've ever seen! He's quite the comedian!

~Reese loves being outside! As soon as the door opens his face lights up! He loves going on walks in the stroller with his grandma when she comes to watch him on Mondays. He is in awe of the outdoors and everything around. A walk in the stroller will help calm him and make him fall asleep. Zac and I are confused as to who he got his love of outdoors from since neither one of us really is outdoorsy.

~Reese falls asleep every night anywhere between 8:30 and 10:00pm and doesn't wake up until 8:00-8:30am. I can't remember the last time we had to wake up in the middle of the night or early morning to feed him. Most days we are waking him up by 8:30am so he can start his day! He's got skills. Sleeping skills. Learned/inherited from both mom and dad!
