1+1+1+1+1=5 Months Old

Birthday Blues

Yesterday, Paul turned five months old. He celebrated his day by sleeping: I had hoped he wouldn’t get the family cold that is going around, but yesterday he apparently succumbed. The poor little guy! He can’t understand why he can’t breathe, and he is very annoyed by it. It must be hard to be five months old.

Here’s a video from yesterday morning. He wouldn’t laugh and giggle, but here are a few smiles for you.

How’s your math?

Now you can leave a comment without logging in! In order to prove you are a human, however, you must answer a math question (it’s just addition…). I’ll experiment for a few weeks and see how this works. If you hate it, let me know by either leaving a comment or sending me an email at wordpress at [my-last-name] hyphen family dot org.

Note that if you answer the math problem incorrectly, you lose your comment. I don’t like that feature, so I’ll look for a different plugin that might work better.

Three Better Videos

Leave a reply

I’m on a video kick right now. Here are three more videos of Paul.

In the first two, he is only wearing a shirt and diaper because it was very hot. I don’t want him to overheat!

Question: When will he get more hair?

Video the first, in which Paul is content.

Video the second, in which Paul plays peekaboo with Mommy (kind of).

Video the third, in which Paul calls his grandmas and eats the telephone instead of talking.

Two Videos

Don’t get excited about these two videos. Here’s why:

  • The videos are large files and so will take a long time to load.
  • Paul doesn’t smile or do anything cute, other than look at the camera.
  • Mommy gets distracted because Paul isn’t smiling and she looks at the camera and talks to the cameraman.
  • The cameraman tries to be funny and gets the viewer all dizzy.
  • Nothing happens in these videos, but the cameraman didn’t want to try again, so this is what you get.

Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Title: Paul and the Pacifier

Starring: Paul

Synopsis: Paul is minding his own business and enjoying his pacifier when an unseen force pries it out of his mouth. He knows the pacifier is nearby and struggles to get it back. It is a cruel world. The effort wears him out and he begins to fall asleep.

Editor’s note: Paul will be very happy when he figures out how to use those hands of his!

Genius Baby

This baby is a genius. He thinks he can crawl. If he’s on his belly on Daddy’s chest, he crawls up. I tried to capture his crawling on video. It may not look like much to you, but I’m impressed….

(P.S. Yes, I know the crawl reflex is a newborn reflex that goes away after a few weeks or months.)
