Walker is 1/2 a Year Old!

The Easter Bunny showed up at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Walker got 2 new books and a really cool teether to suck on:



This month was a big one in the McCann household. Mom went back to work full time so Walker began full time day care with Ms. Carmen. Of course, Walker loved it and did great! Dad gets him up each morning, feeds him from the milk that Mom pumped at 5am before she leaves for work. Dad dresses him and drops him off with Ms. Carmen, then Mom get to pick him up between 4-5pm.

Here's Walker on his first day with Ms. Carmen!



Walker also starting rolling over on his 5 Months Birthday and has been doing it ever since. We can place him on a blanket on his back and he'll start rolling and end up a yard off the blanket. Here's some videos!






This month we also added some new foods to Walker's diet. We got the Beaba Baby Cook Steamer and food processor. You dump fruits and veggies into it and it steams and purees them all with one machine. On Saturday, April 17 Walker tried (and loved) sweet potatoes! Next was fresh avocado, then fresh bananas!

He loved everything we had him try. OK, so it took two tries for the pears. He did NOT like the first batch I made, check out the video. After this incident I made more pears and cooked them for longer and he loved them!




There have been FIVE babies in our Sunday School class since October.... and we have two more on the way! Here's four of them on Easter (Hudson was too young to stay for class):

Walker Turns 5 Months Old!

First of all -- I'm tired of writing in the blog from Walker's point of view, so from this point on, it's his mother writing!

Walker Huse turned 5 months old on Monday, April 5. We had a lot of firsts this month! It FINALLY warmed up and we got to wear some spring clothes!

This past month we celebrated Lucas's 1st birthday as a dad:
Walker celebrated his first St. Patrick's Day:



We took our first trip in the jogging stroller. It was a sunny day, but not the warmest, so W is all bundled up. He really did enjoy it, the look on his face is reacting to the sun being in his eyes!

We hung out with our friends. This is Walker with Anna Pae and Addie:


We made it through church without having to have clothes changed due to a diaper blowout!


Walker had his first bite of "solid" food. The rice cereal was very watered down at first, but now it's cream of wheat consistency and he LOVES it! Next month we'll try some other things.


Walker found his feet... and he can't get enough of them!


Walker got a new infant bathtub. This was his first bath immersed in water! Again, he loves it and has a bath almost every night :)



Walker had his first Easter. We went to church, and then went to Grandma and Grandpa's afterward for a DELICIOUS lunch with friends and family.
