I know, we haven’t been so good at updating. Who knew, having a baby, working full-time, and buying a condo and packing takes up time!
At anyrate, the little bug is five months old today. The fastest five months of my life.
He rolls, he talks, he laughs. He can push himself up so high on his arms when he lies on his stomach. And he gets his knees up under himself. I swear, he’s this close to crawling.
He reads. He literally lies on his belly and turns pages, then waits for a new book to be put in front of him. Current favorites include The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Lou et Mouf: Non, pas ca, and of course, all things Sandra Boynton. He also loves bath books. They’re squishy and nice to eat.
And he bounces! We just set up the bouncy thing that hangs from the doorway, and Jasper loves it. He dances all around. He’s pretty much grown out of the swing that kept me such good company for the first few months. So I think it won’t come with us when we move. He’s not really interested in being *contained* in anything, he’d much rather bounce and jump than sit and swing! At daycare, he just started sitting in an exersaucer this week, and he apparently loves it. So we’re thinking of getting one ourselves.
In other news, we’ve started packing, and our apartment looks like it’s been hit by a bomb of flattened boxes. I just want to move already!
