The Klapmusts: Growing and Moving

All of a sudden my little newborn has turned into a wiggly, active baby. He has grown and changed a lot it seems, just in the past week or so! Now that he has found his feet he is obsessed with them and wants to grab them all the time, which has made diaper changes pretty interesting!

And speaking of grabbing things, now nothing in his reach is safe...including a handful of my salad at lunch the other day and knocking my sandwich off the table at another lunch this week. I guess it's time to be more careful about that! And he's starting to grab pages of books too. Such an inquisitive little guy.

Because of his desire to move around at all times, we decided to start transitioning where he sleeps. Starting with the pack and play and hopefully moving over to the crib in the near future. So far so good!

He moves his legs around like crazy and is getting really good at lifting up during tummy time.

When he's on his back, he'll naturally turn to one side. He has been trying hard to learn to roll over, which paid off because he just rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time tonight! It seems like he's changed overnight.

He's also "talking" a lot more and sometimes at a much higher volume, with LOTS of happy shrieks and squeals. Other than that, he's been his smiley, cute self - just getting bigger!

We had a great trip to Roanoke this week and packed it full to finally get our housing situation squared away. Robert was a little trooper and did great through many house tours and visits as well as meeting with a mortgage lender. Our big news of the week is that we put an offer on a house that was accepted! We're still crossing our fingers that all goes smoothly, but if it does, we'll be official Roanoke residents in June. We'll give you the house tour once things are a little more finalized, but it's a cute colonial with 3 bedrooms - so we'll have a guest room for any visitors that come our way. And for those of you in Northern Virginia who want to see us before we go, we have a few more weeks here!

Since we drove down together this week, Robert and I killed some time on Friday enjoying the weather in a park in Roanoke while Jim finished his workday. He loves to be outside and even squeezed in an outdoor nap ;)
