What a difference a day makes!

Jed literally woke up yesterday morning babbling! I heard some m-sounds and b-sounds and others, too. It's like he just discovered that he could make different noises with his mouth. He's been making rasberry sounds with his mouth for awhile, but now he's experimenting with actual consonants. I love it!
He also got the hang of rolling yesterday. I put him down on his little play mat and then a few seconds later looked over and he was over on the tile a few feet away! He just rolled and kept on rolling. I have yet to get this on video. I don't remember Eli rolling like that, definitely not at 5 months old! I am sort of panicking about baby-proofing, especially with all of Eli's little toys and things around the house!

Fun Times!

Jed's Happenings

Mr. Jed has been up to a lot lately! He's been more active and playful, to say the least. Jed likes playing with his toys and putting everything in his mouth as all babies do, and he's been spending time on the floor pushing up and practicing his rolling skills.

Rhymes and more rhymes

Eli has been reciting some nursery rhymes to us recently. He surprises me everyday with what he's learned and memorized. I'm surprised everyday, several times a day!

Here's Hey Diddle Diddle.


Eli's also been trying to figure out rhyming words. Sometimes he'll tell us words that actually rhyme, but mostly, he's asking, "what rhymes with...". It's a work in progress, but I love that he's trying to figure it out!
In the video, John asks Eli to name 3 people he loves, which is a daily question. It changes all the time, so I'm sure he's mentioned your name before!

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

I mentioned in the previous post that Jed is rolling. This week, I've noticed that he's never in the same spot I originally put him in on the floor! He rolls from belly to back really well and back to belly with help. Eli likes to "help" Jed roll as you'll see in the second video. Jed also somehow scoots around in a circle like the hand of a clock. He's workin' hard to be mobile! Nooooooo!
