I can't believe you are 5 months old. You are such a handsome little boy. Look at those eyelashes, lips and sweet nose. Oh and I can't forget those chubby little cheeks. God surely blessed us with one sweet boy!
Changes in the last month:
- more neck and back strength
- rolls his body to the side
- smiling and seeing things further away
- more talkative
- laughing-sometimes when changing his clothes, at Daddy fake sneezing and at Grace barking
- grasps onto toys and can pick them up if they are near
- sucks on his fingers and gets his thumb sometimes
- no longer sleeps in the nap nanny at night-sleeping on his back in his crib, on his tummy during the day for naps

Sleeping/Eating patterns:
- naps aren't as predictable as before, but usually takes one good 1.5-2 hour nap and then several 30-45 minute naps
- night sleep continues to improve , wakes up to nurse once or twice a night-sleeps for a total of 10-12 hours, goes to bed between 6-8pm
- eats every three hours except for at night when he goes 5-7 hours
Activities:
- 4 month appointment/shots, 16 lbs, 25.5" tall
- celebrated Christmas with my Aunt Rach, Grandma & Grandpa
- went to Sunday breakfast with Mom & Dad
- hunkered in on cold days and went out for walks and shopping on warm days
- caught my first stomach bug, but still smiling
This next frame of pictures I find hilarious.
