Months 4 & 5

My Sweet Boy, 

You are 5 months old!!! How is that even possible? You are growing so fast, and you just seem to get sweeter with time! 

You were 15lbs 10 oz at the doctor at your 4 month appointment. I think they said you were 24 inches long but I think you're a little longer than that. You wear a size 3 diaper now and size 6 month clothes. 

You did a lot in your 4th and 5th month...we went to the beach, a hockey game, to Texas, and you got to meet your Aunt Nat and Aunt Cara! It was a good two months! 

You still sleep in your bed in your room...eventually we'll move you to your crib once you really can roll back and forth good. For now though, you get buckled in, turn over, and suck your thumb till you fall asleep. This is the look I get EVERY night when I lay your down...you never cry at bedtime. I seriously pinch myself every night. You are a dream baby! 

You celebrated your first Easter and looked fabulous! I mean...I can't stand the cuteness! 

New These Months: 

*You suck your thumb pretty consistently when you're tired

*You love your exersaucer 

*You're rolling from back to belly...no belly to back yet though

*You play with toys with your hands 

*You put EVERYTHING in your mouth

*You learned how to spit and blow spit bubbles

*You hold your bottle - not the whole feeding but a lot of it is all you now :( 

You are SO happy basically all the time. Your laugh is my favorite! 

You eat between 6-7 oz every 4 hours while you're awake and have cereal at night. This picture shows how well baby food has gone over with you. You hate it...I am thinking I am going to have to resort to something sweeter to get you to eat it but for now we just took a break from all of it. 

Bath time is still one of you favorites. You kick your legs and you pee in the water every.single.time. 

Outside is where you want to be...you love to be outside. 

I could never put into words what a blessing you have been to our family. It's like you've been here all along. You are the sweetest, happiest boy, and I could eat you up. I love you SO much! Please slow down a little :) xoxoxo
