5 Months Old!

Here are some notes on our growing boy:

-He is about 15 and a half pounds (45ish percentile) and 25 inches long (25th percentile), but he is just above the 50th percentile in weight for length, which I guess means he is proportioned normally but a little tiny bit small for his age. Does that sound right?

-He rolls back to front but not front to back. Mostly he just cries when he’s on his tummy if he is not lying on a person.

-He likes to hold onto his toes now

-He is getting more steady sitting up without support.

-He smiles right away when he sees me or Isaac or Sophie, and he is pretty quick to smile at other people he knows or even strangers who talk to him when he is in a good mood.

-He likes to bury his face in my shoulder when other people are talking to him and making faces at him.

-He laughs the most when we bury our faces in his tummy and make funny noises.

-He sort of eats solids, but he isn't super wild about them.

-He sleeps 8-9 hours or more at a stretch at night and takes three naps during the day, varying in length from 45 minutes to two hours. He is not perfectly consistent, but I think he is getting moreso all the time.

-He likes baths but not being dried off. He is growing out of our sink.

-He is such a sweetheart, we adore him even when he’s crying. We just prefer when he isn’t crying. ;)

He is so adorable. That first picture with him grabbing his toes is the cutest thing in the world!

Such a little cutie! I'm glad I'm close enough to see him at least every week! He sounds so grown up already... eating solids! Sitting up! Geez... where'd the little baby go?
