Five Months Old

How is it possible that you're 5 months old already! At 5 months, you...

-Are still sleeping through the night most nights and wake up smiling in the morning (most of the time:))

-Are taking four 7.5 oz. bottles during the day. You love your food and make sure that we know when you think you need to have it

-Are wearing all 9 month clothes now, and even have a few 12 month PJ sets that you wear

-Started eating solids this month! You started with rice cereal and have added peas and carrots to your repertoire so far. You love solids just as much as you love your bottles. Basically you just love to eat:)

-You started rolling over from your back to your stomach fairly regularly this month, but still get mad when you are on your stomach and cry until we help you turn back over

-You celebrated Daddy's first Father's Day. You and Mommy made breakfast in bed, then gave Daddy a special plate that has your hand prints on it, as well as a framed picture for the "world's best daddy". Mommy made Daddy a special lunch and attempted to replicate his favorite meal from Crazy Horse-steak with a boursin cheese sauce and sauteed mushrooms-it turned out pretty well, but you didn't get to enjoy any this time:)

-You got to go to the Farmer's Market for the first time and loved seeing all of the people and food and street performers

-You had a rash and had to go see Dr. Miller. When they weighed you (with clothes and diaper on), you weighed 17 pounds, 10 ounces! You are growing like crazy!
