It's been awhile...

So, it's been too long since I've updated the blog. Life is getting pretty busy. Catcheroo has been doing so much that I don't know where to start. The biggest thing so far is that he is mimicking what we say. Tonight he kept saying "dada" over and over again! We were so giddy, but I couldn't help but be a little sad that it wasn't mama. Oh well! It's just so cool hearing him talk up a storm. We've caught it on video, so I'll post those soon.

He's also curious about everything and wants to either hit them or eat them. I can't talk on the phone while holding him because he grabs it and puts it in his mouth. He's starting to eye my camera the same way... :0) He also wants to eat and drink what we have. One day I rubbed a piece of celery on his mouth because he kept trying to take it from me. He did NOT like it. He made the funniest face.

We go to the doctor on Tuesday and after that we are going to start him on some veggies. I'm going to try to make it all myself, so hopefully it'll work out. Cross your fingers please!

And even bigger news!!!!! He is sleeping through the night! Hallelujah! The doc said it most babies sleep through the night by 6 months and it took Catch 5 months and 2.5 weeks. He's also rolling and scooting all over the place, so Chris and I better get busy baby-proofing the house. Yikes!

I know I say this all the time, but it just amazes me how much he is growing every day. He's just so much fun right now, and I am super excited because I know it's just going to get better.

I'll post some pics and videos soon.

Catch's New Favorite Thing

Catch has been sick this week. He had Bronchiolitis and an ear infection, but he is feeling much better. Thank goodness!

Okay, Catch's new favorite thing is a cup! He loves to watch us drink and put our glass to his mouth. I don't think we'll have a problem switching from bottles to sippy cups. Whoo!

He also loves when Daddy and I play Superman with him. He gets the biggest smile and loudest giggles.

Enjoy the pics!

He loves his toes!

Precious!

Happy Halloween!

Catch's first Halloween was a great one. We got to take him to pick out a pumpkin, dress him up, and visit as much family as possible. I'm not going to lie, it was an exhausting day. We got started at 4 pm and didn't get home til after 11 pm. However, it was fun getting to show Mr. Lion off to everyone. He even got some great presents! His Aunt Brenda got him some Dr. Seuss books. He is going to have a great collection. His Grandad & Grandma Manley got his candy (but of course, we ate it). Grandma Lisa and Papaw got him a toy and some cute little winter shoes and clothes. I can't wait to take him for a Hayride and pumpkin patch next year.

It says, "I love my mummy" :0)
Catch didn't know what to think of the scarecrow.
