Five Months Old!

Well, little O today you are five months old.  You are growing more alert and demonstrating more personality every day.

Although, is there anything better than rocking a sweet baby to sleep?  

You are typically going to sleep around seven and wake around 8:30.  Most nights you will wake up once to feed, but sometimes it is twice.  You have been taking 2-3 naps a day.  If you do take an evening nap around 5, it only lasts around 45 minutes or so.

A sweet smelling baby fresh from the bath is pretty great too.

You have outgrown the baby bath, so Ava has been holding you in the tub.  She loves this job!  You love kicking your feet and splashing around in the water.

One morning I was in the middle of changing your clothes and I was needed elsewhere.  I put you in the crib and came back to find your big brother perched on the crib.

Sometimes I do tummy time with you like this, and Ava also likes this job too!

You are definitely working on some teeth, you are drooling constantly and chewing on everything.  We have also started you on baby food.  You have tried rice cereal (you don't like it mixed with formula), sweet potatoes, carrots and bananas.  

But the best development of them all:  giggling!  I love to hear you giggle with delight when we tickle your tummy blow raspberries on your skin.  Typically you are such a happy little boy!

Ahhhh!  What a sweet little grin!

You are also experimenting with your voice, it's so sweet to hear your squeals and screams.

We love you little guy!
