5 Months

I can't believe that in just one short month you'll be half a year old.  I'm holding off on feeding you big people food till next month, though I know you'd be happy to start today.  I seriously can't believe that we are out of the new baby stage and you're turning into your own unique person.  You're discovering the world around you and you're itching to explore it.  I know you'll be crawling before I know it.

Weight: 17lbs

Length: 27 inches

Clothing: 6-9 months.

 Likes: You love your dad and his silly antics to make you laugh.  You also love watching him play video games (much to my dismay).  You like watching Hans and you really want to play with his toy.  You like trying to pet him and the cat but they've learned to keep their distance. 

 Dislikes: You've gotten really good at rolling over from your back to your stomach in the last week, but you hate being on your stomach.  You will roll over, cry until I roll you back over on your back, and then repeat the whole process over and over.  Time to practice rolling the other way!  You starting to realize that there is a whole world around you and you want to go, go, go and explore but you don't know how.  I think you get upset a lot because you can't do what you want. 

Special talents:  Drooling like no one's business, rolling over from back to front, sleeping without the swaddle, waking up right when mom's about to fall asleep at night, grabbing and eating your feet (love this), sitting up with a little help, learning to drink from a sippy cup.

Sleep: You've been getting up 2-3 times a night to eat.  Sometimes more.  A few nights last week you only got up once...can't wait for this to be a nightly occurrence!
