Today I went to Shea Stadium to see the Mets play. This is the last season the Mets will play there and my daddy really wanted me to see Shea Stadium while I still can. I had a great day. There was so much to see and all of the Mets fans were so friendly. It is official that I am a fan. Let's go Mets!
I am half a year old! I am doing so many fun things. I have gotten better at eating food since my first taste a few weeks ago. Although I've eaten a few different foods, rice cereal is still my favorite. I'm also starting to drink from a cup with help from mommy and daddy. I try to bring my cup to my mouth by myself although it sometimes hits my eyes or nose instead. I will get there. I am rolling everywhere. I can get to any toy I want to by rolling. I even like rolling when mommy and daddy are changing my diaper! I am starting to figure out that it is fun to scoot to get where I want to be too. I have had so much fun this summer going to the park and walking all around the city with mommy and daddy. I like to look at everything. Mommy and daddy can't believe six months have gone by already. I am becoming such a big girl!
Today was a really big day for me! I tried solid food for the first time. Mommy and daddy knew it was time because it is getting hard to keep me away from their food when they are eating. I really liked my first few bites right away. I didn't even hesitate and was reaching for more as soon as a bite was swallowed. I didn't finish my whole bowl because I started to get a little fussy after a while. This is all brand new to me after all! But mommy and daddy are sure I will become a big fan of real food very quickly.
This was such an exciting month for me! My biggest news of the month is that my first teeth came in. I have two new teeth! I am not really using them to eat just yet, but I am getting ready. I put everything in my mouth and I watch mommy and daddy very closely when they are eating. The doctor says that I can start eating when I am six months old, so I have one more month to go. I am also becoming really mobile. Mommy and daddy can't look away for even a minute anymore, because I might roll across the room. Just this week I have started to really laugh when mommy and daddy do something funny. I used to laugh once in a while, but now I have figured out how much fun it is to laugh more and more. Mommy and daddy tell me that this is the best sound in the world. I have also started sleeping on my tummy. Now that I am good at rolling over, this is my favorite way to sleep. I took my first vacation this month too and also my first cab ride. Hope you like looking at my pictures from my fifth month!
Mommy and Daddy drove me all the way to North Carolina for my first vacation. They were so proud of what a great job I did during the long car ride! I had a really great time. Grandma and Grandpa Scerbo were there along with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. It was great to spend time with everyone on the beach and at our beach house. I especially loved my long walks and naps on the beach. And feeling the sand and water on my feet was really fun too. I already miss playing with my cousins.
Here I am on my first 4th of July. I spent the day with mommy and daddy at Grandma Pat and Grandpa Pete's house. It was a lot of fun. I got to see Aunt Krissy and Uncle Tommy and play outside too. I didn't go in the pool because I was just getting over being sick. But mommy and daddy had fun in the pool while I spent time with everyone else. Happy 4th of July!
My mommy's friend Meera and her baby Sonia invited mommy, daddy, and I to her beach house for the weekend. It was so much fun because a few of the other babies that I play with during the week were there too! When we were on the beach, I took a nice long nap in my tent. Mommy and daddy loved that because they got to rest and go in the water. Then we went in Sonia's pool. This was my second time in a pool and I loved it! The water was nice and warm and I had fun splashing. In the morning all of the mommies wanted to take a picture of the babies in our pajamas. Aren't we adorable. Here I am with my friends Sonia, Max, and Tommy. It was such a fun time!
