Five Months Old

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

Totally a SLU Billiken in this picture

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. 

Hmmmmhh

It's pretty outside

Do you think we can go play?

No, really Mom. I'm done.
