5 months!!!

holy cow you are 5 months old!
you are wearing 6-9 month size clothes- your poor 3-6 month size only fit for, i think, 3 weeks. maybe 2? you are growing so fast! the only thing that ISN'T, tho', are your feet! you FINALLY grew out of your tiny newborn shoes last week. sad. day. they were so tiny & teeny. you got daddy's short fat feet.

you can now arch your back so strongly you get out of the bumbo. also sad day. sitting happily (with help) may be a thing of the past! you don't seem to like to sit- you'd rather stand. all. the. time. you think you are so big. i secretly LOVE putting you in your high chair bc it makes you look so small. :)

you stand on your own if we lean you up against the ottoman. your johhny jumper & exosaucer are your BFF. if you think you are standing on your own & jumping around you are happy as can be. i left you in the saucer the other day for... like and hour & 15 min... oops! but you were playing so nicely & so happy & looking at the cute baby in mirror! i got so much done! :)

you are eating food like a champ- rice cereal is apparently very delicious & filling. you definitely know what food & bowls & spoons & drinks are. anytime we are eating or drinking (especially out of a bottle, bowl or spoon) you reeeeach your hands out looking for a taste!!

you roll-roll-roll all night long- every time i go to check on you, you are in another crazy position. you turn 180 degrees in the crib & turn half your body & roll halfway. sometimes you even put one leg up on the side of the crib. looks like you got daddy's inability to sleep still. uh oh!

basically you are still a happy little person. calm, observant. you don't put on a show for anyone. with a special familiar few you will talk-talk-talk & smile & play, but for everyone else you just like to sit & watch. you will giggle and laugh but only for mom & dad.
we love you so!what a joy is it to have your calm happy little spirit in our home!
