Second video is of Mack's favorite new past time...spitting. Lamb and I are of no help to reduce this issue because like all parents, we think everything our child does is hilarious and adorable. Plus, isn't it good for his motor skills? Lamb did, however try to lay down the spitting law the other day with little success. I was taking a nap and he had to fed Mack his lunch. All I kept hearing was spitting, followed by "No!", then followed by more spitting. I wasn't even mad that I couldn't nap because it was hilarious. Its seems to be very clear who wears the pants in our family....our 6mo. old.

Look what I can do....
So in my last post I pointed out that Mack was o so close to crawling. Well he is still not quite there yet but he moves like a champ. The look on his face when he sees something he wants is pretty funny and we recently have had to move the dog bowl and keep shoes out of his sight. (Thankfully Jerzee scarfs down her food like she has never been fed so Mack probably won't have time to get to it.) Below is a video of him going for one of his toys. Let me preface it with this....he has on what some may call leggings, however, they are leg protectors and I think they are absolutely freaking adorable. I mean they are men's argyle...doesn't get more manly than that! And while a few of our friends has asked if we will let him do ballet too, I reply..."well, at least if he wants too, he will not have all calloused knees like your children" :) Enjoy....

Summer Wrap Up...
As summer comes to a close and football season approaches, I thought best to give updates to all of Mack's progress and all the fun little things he does now. He is a week or so past 5 months and becoming more and more of a little person everyday. I cannot even express how exciting it is for Lamb and I to watch him grow. He is a very happy baby, easy to smile; and is going to be a little ball of energy...lucky us. He has the most adorable laugh and his little (well, big) eyes light up when he chuckles, we cannot get enough of it.
Mack has been eating solids for a little over a month and he is doing great with it. We have not found something he doesn't like, not surprising as he is Lamb's child. To date he has had rice cereal, oatmeal, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash and bananas...all homemade at that. We bought the ninja blender and of course Lamb has gone to town doing what he does best. We are going to try to make as much food as we can for him as we can since it is fresher and not to mention CHEAPER :). He also has been on half formula/half breastmilk for the past 2 weeks now. I can no longer keep up with him and am desperately trying to make it to my 6mo goal....so close. Hopefully I can make it.
Physically Mack is right on track or advanced as we like to think. He is jabber jawing like crazy and practices make sounds. I constantly say momma to him and although he seems quite amused by this as he smirks, still no "momma" uttered yet. I am determined to make this his first word and not ball or something ridiculous like Dadda. ha. He is also SOOOO close to crawling. He can get from point A to point B but this is more by a repeated leap motion and rolling rather than one knee in front of the other. By 6mo he will for sure be moving about. Sitting up is another task Mack is very close to accomplishing. I am convinced that if he didn't have such a big head he would be able to so already but gravity is simply not in his favor.
Last but certainly not least is Mack's sleep schedule. He is doing AWESOME! He only gets up once to eat and every now and then (about once a week) he will have a little fuss fest randomly in the middle of the night....all take it I say as this is way more conducive to my much needed beauty sleep.
Below are some pictures from Mack's summer adventures. Humboldt, CA for a wedding and a few trips to Lake Tahoe, CA.
