5 months

Happy 5 months sweet boy!

Here are some updates from this month:

You are now sitting up on your own pretty well.  I have to put pillows around you because you usually fall over at some point but you are quite sturdy now!

You don't love "tummy time" too much but in the morning you will tolerate it as you are a pretty happy dude when you first wake up!

You have been nursing all night long and then waking up at 5am.  At first I thought it was a growth spurt but now I'm thinking I am just a human pacifier!  I think it's mostly because you just like to snuggle so much and be close to mommy!

You continue to love to cuddle and will even fall asleep on complete strangers sometimes!  I love that!

You had a little tummy bug this month and it was sooooo hard for mommy to see you sick!  We had lots of cuddles and nursing time and you are feeling much better now!

You are becoming much more active and a pro at rolling over!  You like to jump in the jumperoo and spin around in your exersaucer.

Your first food was chomping on a pizza crust at dinner.  Super healthy, right??? Ha.  You also tried some squished up mangos in a mesh feeder and loved them!  You didn't really eat them but you enjoyed the new flavor. You also tasted a bite of avocado but you didn't really know what to do with it once it was in your mouth! We all giggled at your funny faces.

You are talking up a storm!  You love to squeal and jabber.  Sometimes you let out high pitched squeals that make us all laugh.  Right now you are laying on the bed squealing... you kind of sound like a dying animal or some kind of strange dolphin!

You are also drooling a lot!  I think your first tooth will be right around the corner!  Sometimes your entire front of your shirt is soaking wet from so much drool!

You are very coordinated and getting really good at grabbing things.  You also discovered your hands this month which has been really fun to watch!

Here are some pics from the past month:
