How are you 5 months old?? Time is flying by too fast. Can we stop the clock now? You are changing every single day. It's absolutely amazing. I love watching you to see what new thing you will do next. You are trying to sit up, rolling over both ways, pushing up on your arms, and kicking those little legs all around. You've started noticing a lot more things now too. You smile when daddy or I walk into the room. I love it.
Speaking of your smiles, I don't know if I've seen a baby more smiley than you. You smile with your whole being. It is absolutely precious. You're not a cranky baby. The only time you fuss is when you're tired or hungry. I know I say this a lot, but you are such an easy, happy baby! I adore your smiles. They melt my heart. I love you baby boy, to the moon and back.
Love,
Mama

Size: 18 lb 2 oz.
Hair: Dark brown -you have a light layer of hair covering your head.
Eyes: Dark brown. A beautiful dark brown.
Teeth: None, but you are definitely teething. Everything that you come in contact with, goes in your mouth for chewing on.
Food: Nursing is still going great. You normally nurse for less than 10 minutes on each side every time you eat. Your schedule is about the same: 6 am, 9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 5:30 pm, and 8 pm.You drink about 5-6 oz. Now that you have started eating rice cereal and solids, you eat 2 tbs. cereal at 6 am, 2 tbs. cereal and 2 oz. veggies at 12 pm, and the same at 5:30 pm. You love your food and sometimes yell at me to feed you faster! So far you have had sweet potatoes, peas, avocados, carrots, yellow squash, and green beans.
Sleep: You're a good sleeper little man. You sleep about 10-11 hours at night, take a 2 hour nap in the morning, and a 2 hour nap in the afternoon. Sometimes, you take a 3 minute nap at 6 pm after you eat. We cuddle during that nap. It's my favorite!
Clothes: You are in 6 month clothes. You're a pretty solid guy.
Words: None. You babble a lot and we love making you laugh! You make 1 or 2 sound syllables while you talk now. It's pretty cute.
Development/Activity:You have rolled over...finally! You rolled over from your back to your tummy at the end of August and now you roll from your stomach to your back too. I was surprised that you went from your back to your tummy first since they say that is harder. Well, it's you...so I shouldn't be surprised. It's pretty cute. You roll to your side, make grunting noises as you crunch your knees to your chest, and then you slowly roll onto your tummy. Love it.
Temperament:Happy. Just a happy, happy boy.
Likes: You like playing in the bouncer, going for walk and runs, playing on your play mat, getting thrown in the air, being scared by daddy, putting things in your mouth, kicking your legs, standing up (with help), and eating.
Dislikes: The same - being hungry and tired.
Small Moments: Bedtime. I love bedtime. Daddy used to give you your last feeding, but now that I am back at work and pumping so much I nurse you before you go to bed. Daddy gives you a bath, I put you in your pj's, and then I sit in your chair and rock you as you eat. Most of the time you fall asleep in my arms and I love those sweet cuddles. Bedtime is mommy and baby time.
