You are now 5 months old!
At 5 months,
you weigh between 14 and 16 pounds. I tried getting your weight on our home scale and couldn't get an accurate number, so we'll just say it's somewhere in there.
you have started trying to sit up, almost like you are doing crunches. At Honey and Grandpa's last week I had you propped up on your boppy. Honey was talking to Daddy and looked over to see you raising your head to join in their conversation!
you are rolling over from your back to your tummy. You now sleep swaddled waist down and prefer to sleep on your tummy. When I lay you on your back on an activity mat, you inevitably roll to your tummy and are then not happy as long. You start lifting up your chest and look like you are itching to crawl.
you seem to recognize your bottle and like to help hold it while you are eating.
you also recognize faces from a distance. It surprised me when we were in DFW recently how you would make eye contact with me from across the room and smile.
you usually sleep until 6 or later in the morning.
you like to laugh, often during diaper changes and after your bath. You are ticklish right under your rib cage.
you have been chewing on your fist quite a bit and drooling a ton. I'm watching for that first tooth!
you are easily distracted when you eat, so it's difficult to get you to eat sometimes when Luke is making all sorts of noises.
you take a special interest in your big brother. At breakfast I sit you in the bumbo across from him to watch him eat and you will make eye contact, smile, and talk to him.
We love you!
Love,
Mommy
