Five Months Old

"And I'm sitting up all by myself."
This past month has been my favorite so far!  I know I'll probably keep saying that, but we've had so much fun this month!  Amos is really starting to interact with us.  Last month, he would grab at his toys, but this month he demands them, or knows when they are gone and smiles really big when they are back!  He reaches for us and tries to play with our face!  He's also very involved in play time.  Repetition really gets him going!  If something tickles his fancy, we can just keep repeating it and get a big belly laugh every time!

He's reached that stage where he just moves all around in his crib.  I can finally just put him down in it and he will figure out for himself where and how he is going to sleep!  We've been waiting for this for a long time.  I put him down at one end and in the morning, he's on the opposite end, facing the opposite direction!  

He still like to chew on everything, but no tooth has popped up!  We did start a little bit of rice cereal at the end of this past month.  He seemed so interested in what we were eating that I thought we would start practicing with food before he really needed the extra calories!  So for his first feeding, I got the video camera out, all ready for some craziness!  Major letdown.  He took the food like no big deal!  No funny faces.  No spitting food.  Just swallow and smile!  He's already a pro at eating!




He's got hair!!!  And it just keeps getting fuller and darker!  It very fine, though, so it almost looks like fuzz.  He's starting to fill out a little more too.  We still wouldn't call him chunky, he's just a solid guy.


His favorite things are chewing on everything, but specifically Sophie the Giraffe that he borrowed from his friend Ace!  He also likes to play in the tub.  This is a very recent favorite!  After getting done cleaning, his feet start going crazy with splashing!  Drinking water!  Looking at the Christmas tree!  Playing with Daddy's beard after waking him up on the weekends!  And finally...bouncing!

He's not a fan of...being naked, sleeping in his carseat, the booger sucker, missing a nap, and staying still.  He's pretty much always gotta be moving!

That's all for this month!  I can't wait to see what next month brings!  The best is yet to come!
