5 Months {Hayes}

I know I say this all the time, but you are such a wonderful little boy. We are SO happy that you are a part of our family. I LOVE how you smile when me, Daddy, or Hudson talk to you. Your little face just lights up which in turn melts our hearts. You are a true joy. I couldn't ask for a better brother for Hudson. We love you Hayes and can't wait to see what God's plans for you will be.

Fun facts about you.....

You are rolling all the time. You do not stay on your back for very long. You move all over your crib at night. You are grasping toys with your hands now and like to get them to your mouth. We think you are dropping toys from your highchair on purpose, and you like to see us pick them up. You are starting to sit up, too. Today I timed you and without any help, you sat by yourself for 34 seconds---Way to go :-) You still have those chubby legs and a big ole' belly. We love all those rolls!!

Sleep: You are doing great. Sometimes you wake up for a little bit at night when you are rolling but go back to sleep. You take a cat-nap (45 min) in the morning. Then around 1pm you take your afternoon nap, and it lasts about 3 hours (good napper). It is really nice that you go down the same time Hudson does for his nap. We are putting you down around 8pm now for bed. You get up around 6 to 6:30am...have a bottle and sleep till maybe 9am.

Diapers: You are still in size 3 diapers.

Feeding: You still take your bottle about 5 times a day (6 oz each time). We started you on cereal and baby food this month. You are a good eater. I think more food is on you & your bib than in your belly :-) You like squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, bananas, & peaches. I am going to try apples and pears this week. You did eat a "real" pear in a feeder tonight and loved it. You did hate sweet peas though. You are just like your Daddy about the peas.

Clothing: You can fit in 9 & 12 month clothes. Twelve month pants are more comfortable for you though.

Toys: Wow, you got a bunch of new toys at Christmas and are enjoying all of them. It is really hard to just pick out one that you like because you enjoy them all :-)
