Shopping and eating out in Loveland

We went exploring a little bit today, and finished with Mexican food at dinner.  It was a fun day!

For some reason this picture will not rotate, but he still looks really cute!

Sitting up!

Moose has discovered how to sit up from the laying down position.  He loves sitting to play with his toys!

Well hello there, Zachary!

Moose got to see "the baby in the mirror" after his bath this evening!  It had been quite a while since he'd "played" with "Zachary!" :)

Yummy dinner!

Moose had his first home-cooked dinner.  His Mommy made him baked chicken (with a teeny bit of seasoning) and fresh squash.  He thought it was really yummy!

Let me out!

I put Moose in his chair to relax and watch some TV a couple nights ago, but he had other ideas.  He twisted, turned, and tried to escape the chair.  So much for relaxation!

Bye bye Daddy

The U-Haul is packed and Daddy is leaving early in the morning.  Since Moose doesn't seem to stir a minute before 9am, he said goodbye to Daddy tonight.  We can't wait until we join him in Colorado!  Just a few more weeks!

Current favorite food

Moose absolutely adores sweet potatoes with cinnamon.  It even surpasses spinach, which was his previous favorite.  He always opens his mouth wide to eat, but he opened it extra wide for the sweet taters!  He kept leaning way forward, trying to get it faster.  Yum yum!

Fun day

Moose practiced his crawling skills outside on the lawn today.  He is able to get up on all fours, and rock back and forth.  Any time he's going to figure out how to coordinate this arms and legs and move forward.  In the meantime, rolling around seems to be just fine with him.

He also went to dinner tonight at Red Lobster with his Great-Grandparents, Mommy, and Daddy.  He packed his chicken dinner.  After he ate he was in fine form practicing his entertaining skills.  Smiling at the waitresses, cooing, blowing bubbles, throwing his toys on the floor, flipping through the drink menu, and giggling at everything.  He was absolutely adorable!  After dinner we went to Target, and he rode "like a big boy" in the cart for the first time.  It was a fun and exhausting night for Moose!

High tech toy

Moose got a new "high tech" toy!  He loves it, except for the part where he got caught in it and it tried to eat him.  He put up a good fight, and got away.  Mommy made sure he "got back in the saddle" again though!

Fun swim lessons

Moose is really enjoying his swim lessons.  He went underwater 6 times at his last lesson, and always comes up smiling!  His Mommy even learned how to take him under herself.  Very fun!

Moose and the Bear

Moose got to ride the bear before it got sent off to a charity auction.  He looks pretty tiny up there!

Oh so sour!

Moose was eating some applesauce tonight, and with nearly every bite he would screw up his face and do a little shake.  It was hilarious!  He kept on opening his mouth for more, though!

Open wide!

Look Auntie Beth, we have a baby bird in our nest, too! :)

Big decisions for a baby!

We told Moose that very soon he is going to move with his Mommy and Daddy to Colorado, and he is going to get to live right by his Auntie Beth and Uncle Todd. So he spent some time this evening going through a few of his things deciding what he wanted to move and what he could do without.  He decided that he didn't want his green bowl, but it seems that he wants to take both cups along with him.  He also thinks that taking the "jump jump" is a must! The rest of the packing and sorting that we have to do hasn't been quite that easy!

Really, what kind of baby sleeps like this?

We just snuck in to look at Moose, and he was fast asleep with his little butt in the air! So cute!

Sleepy Moose

Before bed Moose had 10 ounces of formula and was very, very sleep afterward!  Sleepy Moose is snuggly Moose though!
