5 Months

Well, this week Will turned 5 months old!  He is becoming such a big boy with such a personality!  He smiles more and more easily and steals our hearts with his precious personality.  He continues to be such a wonderful, easy baby and I thank God for that almost daily.  He stills sleeps like a champ and rarely gets too upset.  When we does, we aren’t sure what to do because we have very little practice.  I know we’re spoiled and am scared to have a 2nd child!

Will is now also eating carrots.  He seems to enjoy those much better than the green beans.  I think I’ll have them start feeding him cereal once at day at school.

He still easily rolls over both ways.  He loves to talk and it is funny how it changes from week to week.  He must find a different sound and seems to get stuck on it for a week or so.  Then he finds a new one.  He squeals at times and is getting better at playing with toys.  Those fingers are progressing!  When either Kevin or I are holding him, he refuses to look at us.  He always looks at the other one of us.  But when friends or family he hold him and they talk, he seems to love to look at them.  We’re not sure why!  If we hold him and look in a mirror, he loves that.  He loves to look at us in a mirror or in someone else’s arms.  So funny!

He still loves his feet but for some reason doesn’t actually put them in his mouth like other kids do.  He still constantly sucks on his fingers.  I am wondering if he is starting to teeth as he is really starting to drool.  It is starting to get everywhere!

He has definitely finally figured out the nap thing!  For months he would just cat nap and wasn’t sleeping well at school at all.  He has been consistently getting an hour to hour and a half nap sometimes twice a day.  Progress!  At home he’ll usually sleep for close to 2 hours for his morning nap.  Things are starting to level out – which is good.

He is just so observant these days.  He gets really distracted taking a bottle if there is other stuff going on around him.  He has to check everything out and frequently needs us to stand rather than sit if we are holding him.  Why do babies do that?  What’s the difference?

Here he is this morning in his church duds.  Sweetest little boy in the world!

Just loves these fingers!  Had a hard time getting a pic without them!

  He loves to watch his mobile – which is great in the mornings when I need to distract him for a bit.

I love this pink shirt!  It is actually Dylan’s and I loved it when he wore it.  He seems to know that Real Men Wear Pink!

Mimi got a chance to spend some time with the boys this weekend.  Mimi rescued Will from school early 2 days last week.  Thanks Mimi!  I think she enjoys spending time with her boys!

Well time to start another work week.  This will be a busy one as I have a deadline.  I’ve done really well so far keeping to my reduced schedule.  I think I’ll have to work more this week, but should resume to normal next week. 

Still working on the house thing.  Found a house we love, so we’re just praying the right situation works out.  We have a wonderful condo for sale in Dallas if you know anyone that needs one!  We love it so much, we have just out grown it.

Take care and have a wonderful week!
