5 months old already!!

Our little baby is turning into a little boy! I swear he gets bigger everyday, and I'm starting to forget what he looked like as a newborn. Thank goodness for all these photos we've been taking!

For Valentine's Day, Gramma Linda sent a care package with chocolate for the parents and some cute baby Crocs and a onesie for Bodhi. The funny thing was that when Bode and I were driving home to find the lovely present at the doorstep, I was singing to him in the car just like the shirt says! We spend most of our days in song, which is not a bad way to live. It's also funny when I'll make up some random rhyming jingle and Ryan joins in on the second chorus like he's co-writer of the song.

We were lucky enough to see Aunt Tede, who is Rose's twin sister. I haven't seen her in probably 10 years or so, and she was so excited to meet Mr. Bodhi. Gramma Rosie made Bodhi an environmentally friendly fleece blanket and sausage, and Aunt Tede brought Bodhi a frog with no neck. Rose also made Bodhi a St. Patrick's Day visor with green beer steins on it, which is perfect because Bodhi doesn't want to get a sunburn on PB's St. Patty's Day pub crawl. Thanks!!





Last week I took Bodhi to a small playground to sit and watch all the little kids playing. He really loved seeing them run around and was so excited when I took him over to one of the playground pieces, a cement turtle, and placed him on the turtles neck. I got a little emotional when I saw his reaction, I'd never seen him so happy. The turtle didn't move or anything, I think it was that he felt a part of the excitement and fun that he saw the other kids experiencing. There are a number of parks within walking distance from our house so Ryan and I took Bodhi to one right on the bay. There were kids running around and screaming everywhere. We put Bodhi on another cement turtle, and he loved it. The swing was the real excitement of the day though, with big smiles and giggles!

I'm putting this last one in because I just think it's funny. Bodhi has been really active lately, kicking, reaching for everything, and throwing his arms and legs around. This picture is from one of his naps. He managed to kick out of one side of his outfit, grab his sweatpants off the railing, and kick the blanket off. Good thing it's warm in San Diego!
