Kidding...I only have 5, like the rest of the world. But, I have been working on my sense of taste! I have moved on to Veggies! So far, I've had Green Beans, Peas, and just yesterday I started on Carrots! My Mommy and Daddy make all of these new options themselves. With the green stuff, I make faces...but I would still finish them all! Mommy wasn't there for my carrot feast, but Daddy told her that I didn't really react; I just ate it like I do my oatmeal. So, instead of pictures on this post, I'm going to share with you allllllll videos! I have a couple of me eating new foods, and a couple of me playing. I hope you enjoy!!! (If you only have time to watch one video...I'd go for the last one...it's 2 minutes well worth it -- If I do say so myself).
Watch as I try my first vegetable...Green Beans!
I like to swing with my Daddy in Grandma's and Poppa's back yard.
(I also like to fall asleep on my Mommy there, too). Sorry about the sideways video....still working on flipping this one!
Here's my first taste of peas.
Here I am "blowing raspberries" with Zaidy...we're both great at it, if you ask me!
More family has come and gone and are on their way! Uncle Keith was visiting for Israel. Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly are in from Chicago. And, just yesterday, my Great Grandma Mildred, Uncle Alex, and Auntie Janet allllll came in from DC and Chicago! Next up: Auntie Rachel, Uncle Rabbi, and Cousin L-A-I-L-A Laila! We'll have photos overflowing...so check back (as soon as I have a chance to post, of course).
To those that celebrate...Chag Sameach. Hope you and yours have a very enjoyable Pesach!!!
You may ask, "Why GREEN?" Well, for a few reasons...for one, I haven't posted since my very first St. Patrick's Day, and for another....I had my very first GREEN vegetable today! So, I do realize it's been a while (this post is for weeks 23, 24 and 25), but I've been a busy boy. I roll from back to tummy and back again, over and over, until I get to the toy I like. I bounce around in my bouncy chair (Daddy calls it my office) - thanks Bauby M and Zaidy Shelly, it's awesome!
In other news...my Uncle Alex came for a quick visit. And, as you can see, he wasn't afraid to feed me some oatmeal. Delicious!
I think Uncle Alex was trying to feed the bear on my bib.
I still love storytime! Here I am trying to read one to myself:
I'm as curious as Curious George.
Here I am on St. Patty's Day!
If Mom and Dad would stop combing my hair, they'd be able to tell if it's curly or not!
Nowadays I tend to sleep on my belly or side...but, on the rare occassion, I stay on my back.
It is March Madness, and although the Gators didn't fare to well, I got to hang out with Mom's work friend, Downtown Julie Brown!
Robert (my Dad's friend since Middle School)
was as tense about the gator game as I!
I was SO happy to be able to congratulate
Lauren on her engagement to Robert!
Even Robert's Cousin Tanya, came to cheer on the Gators!
After a game like that, I need a drink!
I also am quite entertained by my toes:
And my Bubby:
She is SOOOO funny!
Zaide too:
Silly Faces with Zaide!
I also continue to see friends, again and again.
Nothing like a little brunch with Dean.
My Mom's college roomie, Courtney visited FL for her Wedding Shower...and woke me up in the middle of the night. She said, "I didn't mean to." But we all know she couldn't keep her hands off of me!
Snuggling with my Nanny Ginger. Oh, how I love her.
At work, I got to dance with "Safta Orlene!" Congrats to her, she just had twin great-granddaughters!
One morning I got to go to work with Mom. Yeah, that's right...I did some Calculus. Jealous?
Sometime, I can even enjoy my bottle allll by myself:
Mommy and I went to a walk-a-thon at her school, and I got to meet the Miami Heat Dancers!!!
The High School boys thought I was awesome because I grabbed onto one of the girls' boobies!
I love sitting next to my Daddy. He's such a cool guy.
And, I still love my bath time. The water tickles and I love to splash in it.
Snuggle time...no, I'm not tired. Really I'm not.
Morning cuddle time with Daddy!
Comfort thumb. I think my Daddy is mocking me.
Reading or eating my favorite book with Grandma?
Still reading? Here are a few random shots of me:
Dreaming of a Cubbies Championship Season!!!
Can't stop watching TeeeeVeeeee
Want to go for a swing?
Love eating and playing...what else could I ask for?
Finally, some REAL food. None of this milk or oatmeal stuff. Give me the goods!!!
Here come the Green Beans.
This is the good stuff?!
Keep checking back. Next post will be all videos! Check back soon!
Fabulous FIVE (months)! That's right...in the last two weeks (weeks 21 and 22 to be exact), I celebrated 5 months since I was born! For some reason, I seem to be sporting a lot of hats lately....so, throughout this week's post, check out all of my different caps!
Bubby and I celebrated with our goofy hats. Yep, that's right...I'm a "party animal."
I've been busy. I can now roll from my tummy to my back (I basically do this every time I have tummy time, now....I chill on my stomach until I don't feel like it anymore...and then I just flip over!).
This is the first time I was caught flipping over on a video.
Now, I do it much faster and waaaay more often.
I did, however, flip from my back to my tummy one time. I think I did it by accident, while I was sleeping, because when I woke up, I was on my stomach and I was not happy!
But, don't worry, Mommy and Daddy took their time taking a picture as I sat there helpless.
I still enjoy being read to.
Here, Grandma is reading me a great book...it's just so interesting the things you can learn from these cardboard, flippy things they call books.
My hair is growing in nicely (all, save the spot on the back where I often rest my head). But, everyone says I look like a little old man. So, to encourage this, my parents thought it would be funny to dress me in a baby fedora.
Don't I know how to rock my new hat?!
When Mommy and Daddy lived in Philly (well before I was even a thought in their minds), my Mommy worked in the city. Her friend, Susan, retired mid-year, and that's how this relationship all began. Susan and Jerry visit every winter and always make a play date...so, this year, I was able to meet them (from outside of the tummy, this time).
Snow birds with me, the baby bird.
Snuggle time with relatives!
A little cuddle time with Aunt Susie!
Chilling with Poppa and Grandma.
ROAD TRIP! Yes, that's right. As a baby, life is rough....so I needed to get away. We took our first Barbag Family vacation...a quick weekend getaway. We traveled up to Orlando to see Aunt Shana, Uncle Brian, Harley, and Bailey, and some of Mom's and Dad's college friends (Sam and Rob, Rachel and Stephen), and then we continued our travels up to Jacksonville to see my Godfathers (Aaron and Eric...and their pup, Pequod, too).
Uncle Brian says I've grown a lot, but that I'm still a relaxed little guy.
Love me some Aunt Shana time!
I tried really hard to stay up and meet Rob and Sam.
I also got to spend some time with the newly married Rachel and Stephen! Mommy and I missed their wedding because I was too young to fly....but at least we got to do a little belated celebration!
Finally, I spent time with Aaron and Eric, but we were SO busy, we forgot to take pictures. Aaron and I took one last shot before the long drive home (as you can see, I had already fallen asleep before we even hit the road)!
I LOVE DOGGIES!!! I played all weekend with various dogs, and I cannot wait until my Daddy buys me my first dog!!!
Talking with my pal, Harley.
Here Doggie, Doggie.
We got sooooooo close, but never touched. What a nice guy, that Bailey boy is, what a nice guy.
Did I mention I still love my thumb? It comforts me and is always right there...wherever I go! Mommy and Daddy love my thumb, too...because it means I'm still sleeping through the night (sometimes as long as 11.5 hours)!

Chillin' with Daddy on the couch.
The two babies being held.
Making funny noises with Aunt Shana...thanks Aunt Shana, LOVE blowing bubbles!
Since I'm on vacation, I thought my onesie was most appropriate (next time I'll add the socks & sandals, and camera look).
Being on the road was fine. Mom and Dad said I was a great traveler. But, there were definite times when I just wanted to stretch!
Here's a shot of me from the reflective mirror in the back seat.
At times, all I wanted to do was talk, talk, talk...and sometimes squeal.
As soon as we got back to South Florida, I went to Grandma's and Poppa's and I stretched my legs out!!!
Poppa and I always see eye-to-eye.
SPRING BREAK! That's right, Mama was on spring break this week. So, I got to see my cousin Sandy, spend some extra time with Mommy, and visit the park!
Lunch with Sandy, Bubby, and Daddy
I was so comfortable in the swing, I almost fell asleep!
Bubby helped push me, since my legs are too short for pumping.
Dude, get your own swing...I'm swingin' here!
Driving Mom, already!
Love those doggies!
I hope everyone's week is as delightful as my swing in the park!
