Rett is 5 months

This little guy turned 5 months on Wednesday. He has had a rough time lately, his sister was kind enough to pass on her cold last week. As a result he ended up with a double ear infection and bronchiolitis. There has been a lot of wheezing and yucky coughs from our little man. To top it off, he got his first tooth over the weekend and another is on its way! He has shown some great improvements the last few days and we're almost completely back to normal.

At 5 months this little guy still loves to smile, giggle, and squeal like crazy. He loves to roll over to his tummy and GRABS EVERYTHING- he is getting a little too good with his accuracy. He LOVES his big sister and she is very good at making him happy and squeal. He is starting to notice when you leave the room and he doesn't like us to leave him behind. He has also shown a great interest in food, he thinks we should share whatever we are eating. He was starting to sleep through the night before he got sick but that seems to have completely disappeared (we're averaging 1 time a night to eat). He has also decided that he doesn't want to nurse anymore, he finds the bottle is much easier to eat from.

Missionary Family Home Evening

(Our cute daddy as a missionary in Manaus, Brasil)


Maya has been talking about missionaries a lot lately. We saw some at Walmart the other day and she has started to call The Little Einstein song the "Missionary Song" (it says "...we're on our way the mission of the day..."). It was time to teach her about the importance of missionary work.


It was fun to watch Tommy pull out his missionary trunk full of all sorts of great memories.


Maya got her own missionary tag, just like daddy's. She thought it was totally cool and loved pretending to be a missionary.



My future missionary.




And we even played "Pin the tag on the missionary."
