5 Months...growing too fast!

No way are we closing in on half a year.  I cannot believe that our little guy is 5 months old today. The past month has been an absolute blast with him; he is such a happy little guy.  The sheer joy on his face whenever he sees you is one of the greatest gifts from God.  Here are some of the highlights from the past month.

-Kyte and Taygan got to have guy time while Mom was away in Charlotte for work for 5 days, and they both survived!

-We officially started brushing his “teeth”.  He has the bottom two but I know by the way he gnaws on everything and drools that more aren’t far behind.

-He rolled over for the first time on Feb 24!!  Thank goodness I got it on video because he has only done it a couple times since then.

-Most of the time he wakes up extremely happy.  A huge blessing!

-We started cereal on Saturday March 10 and his face was hysterical when he felt it in his mouth.  He has since decided he likes it a little more but would rather just have his bottle.

-No one can make him smile like his daddy.  I am not sure why he looks just like him and is a daddy’s boy L Aren’t boys suppose to look like their moms and be mama’s boys???

-He is starting to enjoy the airplane game and will smile real big when you hold him up over your head.

-He still LOVES his bath time with his daddy.  Kyte will now take him out of his seat and hold him all the way down in the water.  Taygan will float and kick around with just his face above the water.

-On Mar 17 we started giving him water out of a sippy cup with a straw.  It only took him about 2 days to figure out how to suck the water up through the straw. 

-He has “found his feet” sometimes we will find him just lying in bed playing with them after he wakes up from a nap.

-We took advantage of this summer like weather and had our first run in the BOB jogging stroller…he loved it!

-He is wearing mostly size 6 month clothes, especially in Carters.  Some of the gap 3-6 month still fit him.

-We now have to strap him onto the changing pad, he could def roll off of it if he wanted to.

-He is very quick to follow you as you move about the room now and will get super excited when you make eye contact with him.  He is adorable the way he kicks, moves his arms, and smiles when he is happy.

-He is a very good traveler.  He will usually fall asleep in the car but if he doesn’t he just happily plays with the toy on his car seat.  He loves his day trips with his Mimi and G-Mama J

-He has become very good with his hands and will grab anything that you hold in front of him.  He can also hold a toy and take it to and from his mouth to chew on it.

-During one bath this month he grabbed Kyte’s hand when Kyte had a full cup of water and he dumped the water all over his face, which scared him to death for a second! Kyte picked him up and held him for a minute then he began smiling and continued to enjoy the rest of his bath.

-He had his first ride in his stroller out of his carrier.  Such a big boy!
