A few weeks ago, Matt brought home the infamous Fisher Price Jumperoo. It was all the talk in the house in the days leading up the purchase. It is worth all that talk. Within the first two days with the Jumperoo, we saw Adam go from passively grabbing at the built-in toys to reaching for them with intent. He also learned that he can jump in the Jumperoo. He hasn't gone too crazy in it, but I did see him smirk after jumping in it, setting off the motion sensor and causing sounds/music to be played.

Technical Difficulties
We have been pretty busy in the Craig/Winston household and it has been part of the reason why we haven't posted any blogs in a long time. The real obstacle though is not having a computer to store and edit photos/videos. We're working on getting me a laptop which I'm hoping is before Adam goes off to college. I did manage to get some videos uploaded to my flickr account. I will post them to this blog when they are ready. Stay tuned.

Peekaboo
Adam is still too young for a true peekaboo game. He has a very limited attention span and will look for other entertainment as soon as you hide. When you pop back into view he is too startled to react with more than blinking and an occasional smile. That is, if he can pull his attention away from whatever he found to replace you while you were gone.
However, we did find that just saying "boo" to him without hiding is quite hilarious to our 14 week old baby boy. I was lucky enough to get a laugh on video after bath time tonight:

Week 14
A quick rundown of events up to week 14. At the end of week 12, Grandpa Craig came to visit Adam. Adam was such a sweetheart and took to Grandpa right away. He smiled at him and certainly didn't mind having Grandpa hold him and carry him around.
During the same weekend, Adam got to meet the Pruitts. We went to a barbecue for our friends. Adam cooed with Jo while we were getting ready to leave and Dom got the only smile Adam gave while we were there.
Week 13 went by quickly and we didn't get to post the weekly blog, because both Matt and I were swamped with work. Instead of blogging, we were spending every minute of free time with our baby boy.
This week, we're bringing back daily tummy time. Matt had Adam doing tummy time over the weekend which left Baby very cranky. The only thing that might make Adam crankier is putting him into a Onesie. Hard to believe he was smiling and cooing before I had to put his arms through the sleeves of this 6 month sized outfit:
More Saurus than Snuggle
The other thing that putting him in a Onesie will guarantee---that his diaper will leak. Sure enough, Adam was soaked after his nap in said outfit.
Because Adam hates having to put on clothes--mainly, putting his arms through sleeves, we are trying to minimize the number of wardrobe changes he goes through in a day. His day-to-day outfit is a button t-shirt and a diaper. We're all about comfort at home and Adam is the champion of not wanting to wear anything other than what he sleeps in. The problem is that our son is full throttle into the drooling phase. His salivary glands flood about 3 t-shirt fronts a day. Imagine making a cranky baby change 3 times in 24 hours! Uh-uh. Out come the bibs.
Happy Adam who doesn't have to change his shirt now
The other new thing this week is Bumbo Chair! I had been promising to order Adam a Bumbo chair for a week and kept forgetting. I finally went to Babies R Us and bought one. The first time he sat in it, he was skeptical. The second time, he was sure that he hated it. In fact, he seemed to take it as a banishment from Mommy's arms. The third time (pictures below and video to follow), he sat in it calmly for several minutes.
Adam's Bumbo chair (we hope) will allow him to further develop the strength and balance that he will need to sit up on his own. It also allows him to sit without depending on someone to hold him, so he can get more face-to-face time with us. That means more talking, playing, cooing and video blogs.
