Yesterday, Nathanial turned 5 months and he has accomplished so much. He is pulling himself to standing, starting to sit by himself for a few moments, he is giggling and babbling to everyone. He started oatmeal and sweet potatoes and is loving it. He is on a schedule and it has worked out very well. Nathanial loves his playmat, excersaucer and playing in his bumbo seat.

Today we went for our second round of immunizations. Nathanial was very brave.

Today we started our swimming class. Nathanial had a great time swimming with his mommy and daddy. We learned about floating on a flutter board, jumping in the water, we sang a few songs and played for a bit in the water. Nathanial enjoyed drinking the swimming pool too. The water was warm and shallow which was nice for us too. After our lessson Nathanial and mommy went to the change room where he had his first shower, oh my did he love it not as much as his bath but he enjoyed the water coming down.

This past weekend Nathanial celebrated his first Rosh Hashanah, he loved being around all his family and friends. He looked so handsome in his outfits. He was busy entertaining everyone with his smiles and his toys and was a little overwhelmed at times too.  He of course made our special time even more special.

This past weekend was a very busy one for Nathanial. On Friday he went out with mommy to run some errands and then went to Bubie and Zaidys house for Shabbat dinner. On Saturday we left in the morning for Montreal. Daddy had to work, so mommy and Nathanial came too. When we arrived and got settled in the hotel we all went to our friend Audrey for dinner. Nathanial sat in his new Bumbo Baby seat and had a great time sitting and cooing. On Sunday we met our friend Rivka and went for a long walk and for lunch. Of course while we were out mommy could not help getting something from Baby Gap for him. After lunch we went back to the hotel to rest for a few and then we went to introduce Nathanial to his Great Great Aunt and Uncle. While there he met his cousins Zvi and Chaila(I hope I spelt that right) who are also expecting a baby any day now.)

Daddy came and met us at our Aunt and Uncles and had Tea and then dropped us back at the hotel where Nathanial and mommy rested after such a busy day.

Last night at 3am in his sleep Nathanial turned on his Ocean Wonders Aquarium. When I went in to check on him to turn it off and get him back to sleep, he was wide awake and kicking to the music. It took another hour to settle him down..boy was I tired today.
