5 Months Old Today

I have a 5 month old! Yay, it’s very fun to say, but very hard to believe… He is at such a fun age though, and I can’t do anything else, but love him more and more – if that’s even possible.
This is what he’s up to at 5 months:
Laughs
Smiles at people
Gets excited when he sees mama and papa
Likes to fall asleep on his side
Almost sleeps the whole night, almost
Reaches for everything, wants to touch everything
Loves to hear himself – yelps, screeches, and repeats sounds
Likes the exer-saucer
Found his feet!
Very interested in what mama and papa eat
Looks at the TV like he knows exactly what he’s watching
Likes to snuggle
Put his head on my shoulder for the 1st time just this morning – it was heavenly

He has been invited to 2 birthday parties this weekend, which should be a lot of fun. I’m trying to think of how to be creative with gifts since he will most likely be going to many, many birthday parties.

His daycare decided that cloth diapering is too much for them. I can understand. We’re using 7 Generation disposables while he’s there and they seem to work very well. They’re a good product; we don’t feel so bad.

Now we’re getting ready for colder weather. It seems as though he grows quickly and right when I want him to wear something cute, he’s grown out of it! Winter clothing, and winter living, should be interesting. How am I going to walk on slippery sidewalks while holding him??? I can barely do it when I’m by myself.

The house is coming along. A friend said they bet it looks amazing. Amazing is not quite the right word – let’s just say it’s much more comfortable and functional.

Grandma from Chicago is coming on Sat! We’re gearing up for some good ol’ home-cooking. Javier is gearing up for some extra snuggles and kisses : D
