 Weight and Height:

5 Months: We did not have a doctor's appointment this month, but by our scales and measurement we think you weigh around 17 1/2 pounds and are about 27 inches long

Things you have MASTERED this month:

*You found your feet and you play with them all of the time. I have even caught you trying to eat your toes :)

* Noticing and paying attention to everything around you. You especially LOVED going to World of Wheels with Big Daddy and Momma T and looking at everything
Things you have LOVED this month:

Talking yourself to sleep

Speaking of sleep...you are sleeping in your BIG BOY BED and LOVING it
Sitting up in the bathtub (with assisstance) and playing with your toys
Taking your paci in and out of your mouth, playing with it, and then putting it back in your mouth...you think this is a super cool trick

Things you have done and places you have been for the FIRST time this month:

Sat in a high chair
Playing in your first snow

Alabama Gymnastics Meet

Going out to supper with your friend Gage

Going to get taxes done

Baby dedication

Eating ceral, baby food and "trying" to use a sippy cup

First attempt at baby food...you weren't a big fan

First attempt with the sippy cup...you were really good at holding the cup, but not so good at getting the drink to come out

You were a big helper when we went to get taxes done

"It's Fat Tuesday"

During your fifth month: 

Our sweet boy is eating 6 ounces every 4 hours except for his last bottle before bed and you get 8 ounces. We have also tried cereal and baby food, but for now it's not really counting as a meal or snack, but rather just getting you used to the spoon and taste. Most nights you are sleeping from about 9:30 until we wake you up around 6:15 to feed you and get you ready to go see your friends at school. You wore a size 3 diaper and we are still a huge Pamper Swaddlers fan! You wore  6 month size clothes.

 

We have had so much fun with you this month! We love to watch you look around and take everything in, talk to anyone who talks to you and give them a big ol gummy smile and to hear you laugh and talk, talk, talk to mommy and daddy. It's all so CUTE. Every day is something new and we love each new day's adventures with you.
