5 months.... the cutest, roundest, sweetest boy in all the land.
I can't believe it's been 5 months since I woke up in the middle of the night, 1 week prior to your scheduled arrival, in labor.
You are the sweetest little man. Just so full of joy and happiness - everyone around you is enamored by your sweet face and delicious cuddles. I can't tell you how much all of your cousins fight over who gets to hold you next. You get passed around and happily bounce from one set of arms to the next!
You are REALLY LOUD - like a dinosaur, but cuter. You love screaming, yelling, screeching - anything to hear yourself! You love playing on your mat and REALLY love jumping in the jumparoo!! You are also great at just laying on a blanket surrounded by toys and can happily chew on whatever is in front of you. You've rolled over a few times but nothing consistent - you are great on your tummy. You were sucking your thumb a little while there, but gave that up. Same with the pacifier - sometimes you love it, sometimes you don't want it. I think it all has to do with that tooth popping through on the top - it's close to showing and probably hurts so bad. Poor buddy.
I know I'm writing this 5 days past your 5 month celebration but you are officially OUT OF OUR ROOM!!! You are in your crib and as of last night (night 3), you slept nearly 7 hours without needing me. This both breaks my heart and makes me SO PROUD. I feel bad because your sleep (and mine) were so bad for so long in my bed but I just couldn't let you go. However, now that we have moved you - you're really loving life in your crib! You wear this magic suit thing that makes you look ridiculous but I think it helps you feel snuggled and secure. You are also napping much better - usually 3 naps per days - one long morning, one long afternoon, one shorter in late afternoon. I'm so proud of you - I think Mom-Mom really got you on a great schedule. You love to sleep in the stroller so that's where the bulk of your naps are happening.
You've tried a few different foods - so far nothing is sticking! You tried baby oatmeal once and hated it. You tried 4 french fries and loved them (hahaha). You tried rice (hated it), bananas (gagged), sweet & sour sauce (loved it!) and a Wendy's Frosty (LOVED IT). We will really start foods closer to 6 months but so far, breast milk is your fav!
You really love the car - you didn't for so long and now we use it if we need you to take a nap. You love when people are in the back row of the minivan - you're a big fan of car companions :) You love having toys with you at all times but especially in the car.
You are still teething but luckily I don't think it's as bad as it was before. I give you Tylenol from time to time to help with the pain and you still drool all over the place.
Every one's favorite job is to make you giggle - it's the sweetest best sound!!!
You really, really love the bath. You don't play yet but the water seems to really soothe you. The kids fight over who gets to sit in the tub at the same time as you - you're the most popular baby in our house!
We are heading to Florida in a couple of weeks for a wedding - this will be your third time there - pretty awesome!! Except this time, you'll get to experience DISNEY WORLD!!! Wahoo!!!!
