5 Months Old!

You're five months old!  I can't believe how fast the time is going!

This month marked a big milestone -

But rolling over wasn't the only thing you accomplished!  This month we did some fun things!

We went to Mommy's end of the year school party.  It was such a hot day, but you were a star!

You enjoyed the beginning of the summer spent with Mommy!  You started music class, had play dates with the Harris', and got to spend all day with Mommy!

You took your first selfies...

You played dress up with some baby clothes that Mama wore when she was a baby...

And you got your first bleeding owie when Mama accidentally clipped a bit of skin off when she was clipping your nails!  You only cried for a minute, but I felt terrible!

You got to spend time with some of your favorite people including Aunt Ennie...

Uncle Marge...

And Heather and Michele!

You love your Raf Raf (Sophie the Girafffe) and hold onto her wherever we go.

In fact, you're starting to get fairly possessive of all of your toys (even when you're asleep!)...

You love to stand up!  You still don't really get the concept of holding onto something to help you stand, but you if we prop you up right, you can stand for a pretty long time all by yourself...

And you are always excited when it's bathtime (which you still take in the sink)!

You are mastering the art of the pout...

And have discovered how much fun hair can be!

Although you have decided this month that naps are for babies and you are most definitely NOT a baby anymore, when you do eventually fall asleep, you immediately roll to your tummy and shove your butt in the air. 

Once you started rolling over, we quit swaddling, and you started sleeping in your crib instead of in a pack and play in mamas' room.  I think you handled the change easier than mamas did.  

You started saying “mmmmm” this month,

    

And have decided that the pacifier is just not for you anymore.  You'd much rather suck on Raf Raf.  

Your favorite song is Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.  We turn it on and you get so happy.  I think you like all of the sounds! 

This month you also had your four-month appointment.  You handled it like a champ.  You weighed in at 13 pounds 4 ounces and were 25 1/2 “ long!  You weren’t a huge fan of the shots, but settled right down once Mommy cuddled you! 

You continue to be super happy and content with the world around you.  We feel so lucky to have truly gotten the perfect baby.  Love you, darlin!
