5 Months Old!

Age: 5 months and 1 day old
Length: 27 inches
Weight: 14.6 lbs
Milestones: You are rolling over from your tummy to your back, and occasionally from your back to your tummy. You have started pushing up on your hands when you're on your tummy,

You also can sit unassisted for about 5 seconds before you topple over. When you're on the floor if we put our fingers out you will grab them and pull yourself up to a sitting position then go up to a standing position. You sleep through the night, but only when you want to. You babble constantly and are saying: "dadadada" all the time now. Oh and you've found your toes and love looking at them and grabbing them .

Favorite Food: Carrots, you gobble them up whenever we give them to you!

Favorite Toy: Right now you're favorite toy is your exersaucer, you are starting to figure out how to turn around and how to spin the rattle. Oh and you are OBSESSED with that pig, you find it as soon as we put you down in it!

What Makes You Laugh: When we tickle your sides or when we blow on your ears, also sometimes just when we talk to you! You also think cousin Jake is HILARIOUS!

Interesting things that happened this month: We put you in the shopping cart without your seat for the first time this month, you loved it!

 You also started using the exersaucer this month as well, which you love. It was your first Thanksgiving this month and you enjoyed it by eating sweet potatoes for dinner.

This month we also went on the Santa Express with cousin's Maddy and Ali and saw Santa for the first time! We also went to Pueblo and met all of your Great-Aunts and Uncles and all of your cousins.

What Mommy is thinking: Mommy is thinking that you are growing up way too fast! It was just yesterday when you were a tiny little thing all curled into a ball on my chest and snuggling with me. Now you are already asserting your independance and snuggling is something I only get when you are tired.

But that's okay, because I love to see when you discover something new how your eyes just light up and you start wiggling because you're so excited! I also love waking up in the morning to your babbling, it is so adorable and I can't wait for the day those babbles turn into words. Another thing I love is at night or in the morning when you do wake up, if I go into your room you see me and no matter how tired you still are you start smiling and wiggling because you are so excited to see me... Just makes my heart melt!
