FIVE MONTHS OLD!!!

I can't believe I have been such a slacker when it comes to my blog!  I have been adjusting to my new life as a mommy though and sometimes blogging doesn't make the cut.  I'm getting the itch to blog again. Since I have so much to catch up on, let me just start with where I am right now-

MY SWEET, PERFECT, BEAUTIFUL BABY BOY IS 5 MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!! 

Take a look at those teeth!  Aren't they adorable? 
Yes, he grew these earlier than most, but so did his daddy.  

We started him on YOUR BABY CAN READ when he turned 3 months old. 
Here he is totally enthralled with one of the videos (he really does enjoy learning his words)...

Just the other day he started saying, "MMMMMMMM....MMMMMMMM....MMMMMMMAAAA."  And sometimes it will come out, "MAMA".  I love it!!  In my heart I think he understands that I am "Mama" because he says it when he's getting hungry, especially if he sees me and he's hungry!  He has also started saying, "Ba."

Whose my big, healthy boy??!! :)

  

He rolls around all over his play mat and has a new interest in his feet..

We took him to Medevil Times.  Doesn't he look cute in his crown?? :)

We put his name on his wall.  He LOVES his room!  He gets so wide-eyed when he sees his animals! 

 He smiles at them :)

 He reaches for things with both hands now.  The reason he has a pink blanket and a pink hat is because we took him to a birthday party at the park thinking it would be warm, but to our surprise it was cold.  So we had to borrow a blanket and hat from a little girl who was at the party.  haha

One of my favorites!  He is simply irresistible!!

He was sleeping through the night in the beginning of March but started waking up at 4:30am again towards the end.  I think he's going through a growth spurt.  I am really enjoying my time with him in the early mornings though.  I want to soak up every second with him and make it last for as long as I can.  He has been exclusively breastfed since the day he was born, so I enjoy the bonding time with him in those wee morning hours. We end up falling asleep all cuddled up together. I can't put into words how much I love that!  I love the way he "talks" to me and rubs my face with his precious tiny hand.  I love how he needs me and recognizes me.  I love how he randomly starts laughing when he sees me and how in those moments everything I do is funny to him.  I love how he "yells" aka how he has found his voice ! haha.  He started high pitched squeals last month.  It's the cutest!  He loves going for walks with me and the dogs. He laughs when they bark. :)  He enjoys being outdoors.  When he feels the wind he kicks and starts squealing.  

He is such a good boy.  Kevin and I have taken him to the movies with us twice now and he was so quiet and observant for awhile then fell asleep.  He is so easy to please and is very content.  I always tell him that he has the joy of the Lord because of his sweet smile.  We are so blessed!!
