5 Months!

Oh my gosh, he's five months already. It's getting to that point where I want things to slow down. I was ok getting through the rough first few weeks and getting to where he would sleep through the night, now it is just going by too fast! He is the size I always pictured myself holding perfectly on my hip. He's the perfect sized baby right now. He is strong and sturdy but not old enough to start getting into everything. Stay this way! So many milestones are just around the corner for him. It's that time again when I do his laundry I have a "cannot wear anymore" pile. Feels like I just did this! He's the most perfect little baby I could have ever hoped for. He is light of his daddy's life and he's mommy's best friend. I honestly talk to him like he knows exactly what I'm saying and we're BFFs.


Favs:
-Sucking his left foot
-Smiling and laughing
-Bentley (loves to follow him around the room and he tries to reach out to him, Bentley is not so much a fan)
-Games with daddy
-Listening to mommy sing to him (poor guy!)
-Rattles and sassy links
-His frog stuffed animal
-Books




Dislikes:
-The bumbo for too long
-Starting to notice when I leave the room
-Laying on his tummy too long
-Nose aspirator (I would hate it too)
-Pulling shirts over his head (he's ok if you make sure his eyes are NEVER covered)
-The carseat when he is awake and not sleepy at all

Holt Fun facts:
-Size 2 diapers
-About 16 lbs
-Size 6 month clothes, some 9 month
-Working on rolling from tummy to back
-Trying to sit by himself, kinda doing the tripod but loses balance after about 5 seconds
-Grabs anything you put in front of him and immediately puts it in his mouth
-Fascinated by his hand and fingers
-Still on breastmilk only
-Taking his first plane ride to the Rose Bowl next week!
-Follows us around the room with his eyes and by moving his head
-Starting to recognize his name a little
-Knows our voices and immediately turns toward the sound to find us
-Sleeps from 8-6:30 or 7:30 (depends on if I'm working from home or going to the office)
-A very happy happy baby!
