5 Months
Hayden is now a wiggly, squirmy 5 month old. He is still getting to know the "Sleeping Through the Night" fairy, but he's done better the past week. We had him drinking oatmeal enriched bottles, and he conked out for at least 10 hours each night, but it didn't really seem to help his reflux so we took him off. And now we're paying the price for it with our sleep.
New this month: He has found his feet!! It is so cute to watch him grab them. He mostly does it during diaper changes (when his feet are bare), which tends to make that time very interesting. He hasn't figured out how to get them to his mouth yet, but I'm sure that's close. He is almost rolling over to his stomach as well. He'll usually get his bottom half rolled over, and then his face, but his left arm seems to get in the way still.
He is still a refluxy boy. The oatmeal seemed to make his spit up thicker and messier, so we're back to regular old soy. We have tried him on oatmeal by itself, from a spoon, but he doesn't seem to keen on that yet. We're trying again next week though, whether he likes it or not.
He loves to jump, but he hasn't quite figured out how to do it on his own. My parents have a jumper that we've put him in on occasion, but he just hangs there looking around. A sure-fire way to get a giggle out of him is to hold him and jump him up and down on your lap. Makes for some strong arm muscles...
He is completely in 3-6 month clothes, as well as size 2 diapers. I happened to get a bunch on clearance from Target, so he'll be wearing those bad boys for a long time. Even if they start to get too small.
Since he has become such an active little baby, taking his picture was an extreme mission last week. The shot above is pretty much the only one we got with everything the way I wanted it. The others are so cute though, so I've decided to put some of my favorites here at the end. Enjoy!

St. Paddy's Day
This year I tried to do a little more for St. Patrick's Day, in an effort to make our home more "homey" and to make things cute around here.
The first thing I decided to do was to make this cute wreath for our front door!
I found the idea on Pinterest, and it was so easy to do. I may make a few more for other seasons.
The second thing I decided to do was make a decorative charger for our entry way side table. I've been wanting to do some of these for a long time, so I finally got to it and love how it turned out!
In an effort to also become more social and involved in our ward we made a special green dessert and invited an almost married couple from our ward over for cake and mint chocolate chip ice cream.
I think it turned out pretty cute! Maybe it will be come part of a new St. Paddy's day tradition for the Capell family.

Tie Draft 2012
They ordered a set of 100 ties through E-bay, then we all got together after school one day and drafted our ties. Before the draft they sent out, to everyone participating, a list of all the ties you could chose from. I ranked the ties and color coordinated them.
My top 20 were the ties on the blue sheet, then green, orange, pink, and yellow.
There were 11 of us participating in the draft, and I got the number one pick! I was super excited to get the number one pick and get the best tie in the bunch. All seven of my ties ended up being in my top 21 and cost $25.00 total. A lot of the other guys were going for all the ugly paisley ties.
Unfortunately I didn't end up getting my number one selection. The person who was selling the ties apparently ran out of that one and sent a replacement, and with out asking the buyer what he would like. So, my number one pick didn't turn out to be so awesome.
See if you can figure out which is the replacement tie...
