5 Months

Happy 5 Months!

A few things to remember about this month...

*You weigh 16 pounds 14 ounces (83rd percentile) and are 26.5 inches long (95th percentile). (We think you are over 17 pounds since this was your weight 2 weeks ago.)

* You have started eating rice cereal.

*You stare at mommy and daddy when we are eating. I'm sure you are wondering why we are eating a variety of foods and you only get Similac.

*You found your toes and love to play with them. You have tried to suck on them a few times too. You are definitely more flexible than mommy is.

* We went strawberry picking for Mother's Day.

*You really enjoying sitting up and looking around. When we lay you down you want to lift your head to see all the action.

* You are wearing a range of 6-9 month clothing.

*You have taken off in your jumperoo!!! Jumping like crazy!

* You can hold yourself all the way up during tummy time. (No bended elbows.)

* We are still waiting for you to consistently roll over. 

*We take daily walks and you are now facing forward in the Baby Bjorn. 

* You have really started to notice Trixe and pet her whenever she walks by. She better start watching out for her tail!

*You are starting to reach and grab for mommy and daddy's facial features. 

*We have learned to keep your fingernails much shorter so when you scratch your head you don't get a sore.

* You are giggling on a normal basis and it melts our hearts!!!

* We found your ticklish spots...the left side of your neck and the sides of your torso.

*You are great at blowing bubbles!

* You legally become our son this month and we couldn't be happier!!!!
