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.

MR. CHUCKLES
Lamb of course LOVES to mess with Mack and thankfully 9 times out of 10, Mack is all about it. He is starting to chuckle a little and it is the most adorable sound. The other day Mack was laying down and Jerzee was rubbing her back and face on the ground...out of no where Mack let out a little chuckle as he watched her, it was so cute. Here is Mr. Chuckles at work :)

MACK ATTACK!
First- I would like to publicly announce that I am going to be writing/posting more often, I say this to you so that I am held liable and you can give me crap if I fail to follow through. :)
Mack has been making so many strides and developments lately, its hard to keep up! He is jabber jawing all the time and sometimes I swear he is telling me off...it's cute none the less. He also grabs at his toys now and can get them to his mouth unlike the failed attempts of getting his hand to his mouth below. His smile just lights you up and when Lamb tickles him, he can get a little laugh/grunt from him. Tummy time is fun (for mom and dad anyway) because Mack can now pick himself up high enough that the weight of his head causes him to roll over. This is pretty on track with what he should be able to do at this point (he has been able to for about 3wks now) but what is impressive is that he can ALMOST roll from his back to his stomach, athletically advanced I say :) I think he may have a little temper on him because he gets quite pissed that he cannot get it and regardless of the encouraging words from mom and dad, he cries ( I am sure this is code for why are fools chanting at me and not helping me).
We did take Mack for his shots a few weeks ago. I always thought it was a little dramatic when moms would talk about how they wanted to hit the nurse for hurting their baby and so on and so forth but it really was quite traumatic for me. If you think his eyes are big, you should have seen when she stuck him! He did the saddest cry and when I picked him up he was clinging to my neck which he has never done before...broke my heart. Thankfully we saved about an ounce of his bottle from feeding so that calmed him down pretty quickly. He weighed in at 12lbs 8oz (75%) and is 24 1/2 inches (90%).
Finally, have I mentioned that Mack is the cutest baby ever!? He has the cutest big blue eyes with hits of hazel in the middle and his little button nose is perfect...don't take my word for it, check out his pics below :)

SUCCESS!
The past few weeks Mack has been working on his hand/eye coordination and I must say that it is quite amusing. He has recently discovered his hands and not only does he sometimes stop mid-coo in fascination when one appears before him, he is also determined to get them into his mouth. This has to be God's way of getting back at the little boogers for keeping mom and dad up at night because watching him ever so carefully move his hand towards his mouth only to hit the side of his cheek is hilarious. Don't get me wrong, I want my little man to succeed and he often does, especially when he is not really thinking about it. And man, when he does get that hand, he is not afraid to attempt to get his entire fist in there as shown below...SUCCESS!!
"Hey mom...look what I can do!" ha
