I'm 5 Months Old!

I'm 5 months old! I am almost sitting up, most of the time I pretty much fold over in half, but I am trying really hard! I love to grab my feet, roll all over the place, and squeal/scream. I love to hear my shrieks, they make me laugh. I also give kisses now, they are more like open mouth drooling "I'm going to eat your face" but they make my mom's heart melt. She loves it when I grab her face and give her kisses. I also like to reach my arms out for Mommy and Daddy to pick me up. I'm not very consistent with it, but they smile when I do it, and usually pick me up.

My happy personality is very apparent, I'm all smiles and giggles. Daddy makes lots of funny noises and I think they are hysterical! I also respond to silly faces.

I eat oatmeal or rice cereal every night (around 7:30 PM) and it is accompanied by a veggie of some sort. I've tried sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, squash, and 2 fruits, pears and prunes. I liked it all except the prunes, I refused to even open my mouth after tasting those! Great Grandma Willis told my mommy to stop feeding me something so gross. Currently, sweet potatoes seem to be my favorite right now.

I'm a great sleeper, most days Mommy and Daddy have to wake me up to go to school in the morning. I get up probably around 6:30/7 AM on the weekends, early bird gets the worm! Sometimes I will even play in my crib if mommy and daddy aren't quite ready to get up just yet. They stay up later than my 8 PM bedtime, so I try to self entertain.

My current favorite toys are Sophie the teething giraffe, my stuffed puppy with teething paws from Calvin DeMasi, and anything else I can stuff in my mouth to chew.

I'm a big boy! Now I wear size 3 diapers and size 6 to 9 month clothing. (Well, in Carter's brand anyway.) Mommy and Daddy have to weigh me and take my height, but they keep telling me how much I am growing! My little (large) thighs often get stuck in my bumbo seat!
