Baby boy, you are now 5 months old! I know I say this every month, but time is flying! You are so adorable and are definitely my favorite baby in the whole world. This month, you have started playing in your jumperoo more and love hitting it, seeing the lights come on, and hearing the music. You also tried the toy at Maw Maw and Paw Paw's that your cousin Jada used to play in and absolutely loved it. (Yes it is pink, but I know that you will be man enough one day to handle it.) I love your little monkey face when you are talking to the toys and how in awe you are of new things. You still love to shake rattles and have recently started tossing them by accident, but it is still so funny.
You take breastmilk and formula now. You eat cereal twice a day now and have already tasted green beans, sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. You love to eat and are a great eater. You have 4 meals a day, although the last one is just milk. There are times that we have to stop in the middle of your meal because that is your favorite time to make a poo-poo. You also love to squeal and smile while you are eating. You have started looking around at everything and waving your arms because you get so excited while you are eating.
You have just started taking two 2 1/2 hour naps a day and take one catnap at the end of the day. You are still sleeping amazing at night. You usually go to bed around 7pm and wake up around 6am. You have just started rolling over from your back to your stomach when being put down for your naps or for bedtime. The problem is, one of your arms will get stuck and you will get upset. After I go in there and help you, you will usually go back to sleep silly boy. I love how when I get you from your naps or in the morning, you give me the hugest smile in the world. You are such a sweetie! I don't get to hold you very much for your naps because you are very independent like your momma (go figure), but every once in a while I can't help myself.
You love, love, love water and we have taken you swimming a couple of times this summer. You have a fun floatie that you sit in and you love to kick your legs.
You are getting stronger every day and when you are on your belly, you still push yourself up and now you try to kick your legs in an effort to crawl. I think the time is coming soon my boy. You love to stand up on your daddy and I and will squeal in delight while you are doing it.
