Lots New

A lot has happened since my last post, but we've been running too much that I haven't had time to sit down and do an update. Denver had his first plane ride to go to his Uncle Aaron's graduation in Indiana. Denver did very well on the plane. He was a little fussy at times, but we did lots of waiting in the airport and on the plane waiting to take off due to rain in Chicago. After being gone from home for 5 days Denver (AND Mom and Dad) was happy to be home!

Congratulations Uncle Aaron!

Here are some photos from our trip:

Denver loved watching out the window of the plane before and after we took off.

We found some interesting places for Denver to eat while we were on our trip. Here Denver's sitting on the floor in a dressing room in a mall. He thought the mirrors were great and was happy to get a dry diaper, into some comfy clothes (post Church), and to fill his belly!

Denver continues to sit better on his own every day. He loves to sit on the floor and play with his toys. He thinks he's cool stuff now! Denver can lean and reach for toys and return to his sitting position without falling over.

Denver continues to love reading books, but insists upon turning the pages himself. He's been doing this for quite some time now (I think he figured it out around 3 months old), but we forget to go find the video camera to record him doing it before we sit down to read. We'll try and get a video of it for all of you to see.

Several more new trick were learned this past week by Denver. He figured out how to play "peek-a-book" with you. When we were waiting in the airport he figured out how to pull the blanket down, but this weekend he started covering up his face and uncovering it and looking at you and smiling. He loves playing peek-a-boo with his Daddy! If you give Denver your hands he'll pull himself up to standing position from a sitting position. He is very proud and gets excited about it. Look out world here comes a busy boy!

Denver has figured out how to roll consecutively now, but doesn't do it very often and I don't think he's ever been caught doing it; he's just found in a complete different spot on the floor than where he started.

Denver also had his first haircut before our trip, but Daddy was getting his hair cut at the same time so Mommy didn't get any pictures. :( I do have the hair the cut though! They didn't take much off it was just to get rid of the long part on one side that didn't fall out like the rest and had a little curl to it and evened out the rest. It's really starting to fill back in well.

Here's some fun pictures of Denver sitting and playing.

Mmmm....Sonic! Denver loves straws and Daddy thinks that Denver even figured out how to suck out of it at one point as the straw all of a sudden got cold! (FYI the Sonic drink was gone before he got to play with the cup and straw)
