Pictures, pictures, and more pictures

I am sure my mom would like to see what we did with Donovan's room, so here are some pictures. We finally set it up the way we want it.Don't mind the wood in the hallway. We had been using part of an old bunk bed from Brad's parents, but when we got our new bedroom set we decided we would take the old bed to Goodwill since Brad's family won't use it...as you can see, we have not taken it yet.

Donovan got to try a biter biscuit the other day, you can tell by the mess that he thoroughly enjoyed it.
No, our child is not a Muslim. He is learning how to get in the crawl stance. Once he gets there, he usually rocks back and forth for a little while before his arms give out.

I love Donovan's teeth, they are so adorable. His top teeth are giving him some problems. They have been swollen for a couple of weeks now but haven't cut through and I can tell it has been painful for him, especially at night. We have finally gotten him to sleep through the night without a feeding, but sometimes he will wake up screaming from tooth pain. I usually give him some teething tablets or tylenol and rub his back. He usually falls back asleep within 10-15 minutes, sometimes sooner. We still struggle a bit at nap time, but it is getting better. He is such a good baby.

He likes to chomp down on his teeth. Sometimes it looks like he is mad because he will make this face and clench his fists. It looks like he is trying to throw a tantrum, it's hilarious.

He is such a stud. And no, his cheeks are not full of cereal...it's all natural baby!He is really starting to enjoy cell phones...oh joy... When I am on the phone he always has his mouth open and tries to grab it, so we let him play with Bradley's old phone sometimes. What do babies find so fascinating about cell phones? Donovan's cousin Mason loves them too and gets mad if someone takes them away. Whenever he comes to our house, he says "pfo, pfo" (that is the closest I could come to what it sounds like. He is getting better at it though, I am sure he gets a lot of practice).

That is great news that he is not waking up in the night for feedings anymore I bet you are loving that. I bet if you are like me you don't mind the mess that is made after your kid is done eating because it least it kept them busy for a while to give you a break :) Cute pictures.

The Muslim picture is my favorite. It looks like it won't be too long before he's zooming around all over the place.
