Five Months

Sweet Ben is 5 months old today! I'm in shock at how fast the past five months have gone. If I could throw him a party to celebrate each month, I would! We love him more and more each day. He is more fun than we could ever imagine and makes us laugh all the time.

No doctor's appt until next month so here are some recent highlights:

*rolled over from his back to his tummy...FINALLY

*sat straight up by himself for 10 seconds tonight

*is happiest in the mornings after he eats and right after his bath before bedtime

*loves to kick and splash in the tub

*laughs a lot more-a real laugh now, not a quick giggle or squeal

*had his first 'sick' visit at the doctor (they thought he had a busted ear drum-turns out to just be wax...such a guy)

*reaches for anything and everything

*turns up to 180 degrees just about each night in his crib

*loves his exersaucer (or as Daddy calls it, the big blue chair)-spends forever in it playing

*poor teeth are causing pain, but haven't popped through yet

*would rather stand than sit or lay

*still won't cuddle with mommy and watch tv, only daddy

*lots and lots of new hair is growing very quickly. Sometimes it looks brown, other times blonde

*likes Target, but LOVES Walmart (what's that about?)

He's the most amazing thing in the world to us. Happy 5 month birthday Monkey! We love you!
