We've got milestones! First, Oliver has slowly stopped breastfeeding and is on the bottle except for once a day. He has gained a ton of weight since formula feeding but I feel like a total failure so I'm still considering getting a natural supplement my pediatrician/lactation consultant suggested to up my supply. Since, he's finally gained some weight, I decided to give solids a try. I home-made some oatmeal cereal. His first bite was a go but he decided after the second bite that it wasn't for him. I fed him one time a day for two days and decided to wait for a few more weeks since he wasn't really 'eating' any of it and Gabriel just ended up drinking it up (gross!!). Oli has been grabbing things and swatting at his toys. He is finally sleeping through the night (bedtime at 8 to 8:45 and wakes at 6 or 6:30). Within the past few days I've been catching him pushing up on his hands and knees. I can't believe he's already trying to crawl! Until today, it was just pushing up but now he goes forward, face plants and tries it again. He seems so happy to be getting mobile.
5 months old!
Last week, Nicolae was taking Gabriel for a ride in the truck when (this is Nicolae's version) he drove under the mulberry tree and he ducked but Gabriel didn't. Here is what happened:
It was all superficial but looked so terrible and Gabriel was really hurting for a few hours afterward.

Hey, I can comment now! Can't see the first paragraph of the blog though? Oh my goodness, he's trying to crawl! Impressive! Just gave Henry some rice cereal this afternoon, he did alright.
He's so darn cute! And I'm so impressed by his crawling efforts.
Dont feel guilty! All that matters is that he is gaining weight - however that happens.
Poor Gabriel! Jacob did that to me once riding a 3 wheeler. We were riding in the dark and I couldnt see in front of us. He ducked but never bothered to tell me to! I feel for him!
Aw I love the videos!!! We the readers demand more videos please. =)
So so sweet, I love your boys. Kisses to them from me, especially poor Gabriel. Stop beating my baby woman!
