5 months already???

Chunky monkey!

Could it possibly be that my little baby is already 5 months old? It seems like he’s been here all along and it also seems like he was born yesterday!   I figured I would write a little bit about what he’s doing these days so that all of you will be informed (cause I know you care!!) and so that when I look back, I will be able to remember and share with him!

• Almost sitting up! He can hold himself pretty steady, but he still tips over from all of his wiggling!
• Eating solid food! He loves applesauce the best, he has also had sweet potatoes, squash, bananas and for the first time today, peaches!   While Grammy and Papa Lee were visiting, we took him to Cracker Barrel and he ate an entire bowl of applesauce!  He was diving for the spoon with his mouth wide open for every bite! He never eats like that when I mix it with rice cereal!  We tried a small bite of watered down mashed potatoes, and he wanted nothing to do with those!
• Jackson played in his jonny jumper for the first time this weekend! It took him a few minutes to figure out how to move himself around, but he figured it out! It has a musical, light up toy on the front and he loved playing with that!
• His favorite thing to do is play in the exersaucer. He will play in there for close to 45 minutes if I catch him at the right time of day… meaning he’s not hungry or tired!
• He’s still napping 2-3 times a day. Depending on the day, these can last anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours! He goes to bed at 9:00 pm and wakes up at 7:00 am every day. I LOVE that he sleeps through the night!

• He eats everything in sight. This could mean his blankets, his toys, our fingers, his fingers, or even the dogs! I’m fairly confidant that he’s teething, but who knows when that first tooth will actually pop through! I’ve heard stories of children teething for months before anything actually came through!

I think this pretty much sums up what my little man is up to on a daily basis! It’s a beautifulllll day here and I plan on enjoying it to the fullest!  I see the park in our near future!

Until next time….

P.s. notice how I am trying to be better about this?!?!   You’re welcome!
