Jake and I were able to get away for a night together - a MUCH NEEDED night away. My parents and sister so kindly babysat Silas and I surprised Jake with a hotel room downtown Des Moines. The night was so simple and yet so, so perfect. Of course when you're used to waking up early, it's hard to sleep in and we really only slept in 'til 8:15 or so, but just having an evening, night and morning just the two of us was so nice. We thought about Silas a lot, but I can honestly say I was 100% okay with leaving him for the night...of course that's because I knew he was in good hands. :)
I found a cute picture on my camera that my Mom must have taken of Silas getting a bath...doesn't he look like he had a blast?
Friday was a big day for Silas - I had him playing under his little gym and for a few weeks now, he's been rolling up onto his side but never quite made it over his chubby little arm. I happened to look over and see him on his side and as with every other time, I got super excited thinking maybe he'd roll over. He finally did it Friday!!! I was so excited I began the high-pitched "Good boy, Silas! Yay!!!" and immediately called Jake. I had just been thinking today that I would probably miss the first time he rolled over. I'm so thankful I was at home with him to experience it! Here are a couple action shots....doesn't he look so proud?
Just last Sunday he found his thumb
(you how he loves his middle and ring fingers) an purposefully puts it in his mouth. He also started blowing bubbles (also known as raspberries) which is SO CUTE. We blow bubbles at him, he does it back & then smiles about it. I just love it! We also started cereal
on Sunday, which went pretty well. I feel like he's done so many new thing on just 5 days. Where does the time go? How quickly he's changing!
