A Day in the Life

We had a very fun day last Friday.  Sud and I visited with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jim. Sud showed off his sitting skills, which very much impressed grandma. Auntie Ava and Great Grandma Puerta were also there.  Afterwards, we all took a lovely walk in the San Pedro marina.   Another wonderful day in the life of Little Sud Doss.

Grandma Kathy...

Words can't describe how much Little Sud loves his Grandma Kathy. Every time he hears her voice on the  speaker phone, he stops what he's doing to focus on her voice.  Every time she walks in the house and either starts singing or playing games with him, I instantly become old news. :)

  

5th Month Reflections

This is what Sud is doing now...  

• He started going to his Mommy & Me class.
• Sud finally likes being on his belly!  
• I think he began teething.  Sud is constantly chewing on his hands and exploring his world by putting EVERYTHING in his mouth.
• Sud began to eat solid foods. His favorites are sweet potatoes, sqaush and avocado. 
• Sud loves to grab and play with his feet while lying down. 
• Although it's not as much as I would like, Sud began to laugh and giggle.
• Sud is beginning to sit up with some help from mommy and daddy.

Time for 5th month pictures!

Sud is starting to grow on Horchata Kitty.   

How could he not love looking at himself.

Chomp, chomp, chomping away.

  

Sud loves experimenting and playing with objects. The funny thing is he loves everyday household items over fancy store bought toys.

Latest Toy: Feet

Around 4 1/2 months, Sud realized he didn't just have hands to play with, but feet too! 

                

Cousin Aliyah's 5th Birthday Party

On January 19th, Sud's cousin Aliyah celebrated her 5th birthday party at a gymnastics center. While Sud was too little to play with the big kids, he had a fun time exploring the gymnasium with SUD and myself. We could see Sud's athleticism immediately.  :)

A Beautiful Sunny Afternoon in Los Angeles

The last couple of weeks have been pretty cold (for Southern Cali standards), ranging from the 30's to mid 60's. Poor little Sud has been cooped up inside for most of Winter. However, today was BEAUTIFUL! I couldn't help but spend most of it outside with Sud.  He had a marvelous day exploring Uncle John's beautiful garden. I can't wait for warmer weather to arrive...


Since Sud was a newborn, he loved listening to Uncle John's chimes. He now loves being able to make them chime by himself.

 

 

 

 

Sud LOVES his cats! Vasco Kitty

 

 

Watching Horchata Kitty

He loved the rough feel of the grass.
