5 Months Old

Here I am 5 months old.

Mommy talked Dr. Bentley into letting her try and give me rice cereal to see if it would help me sleep longer through the night. IT DIDN'T HELP. So momma gave up... Honestly I just liked holding the spoon myself, besides most of the cereal ended up on my bib!


But I do LOVE to drink water from a cup. I can hold the cup all by myself and bring it to my lips.


Even though I am not eating rice cereal anymore, I like to sit in my new Space Saving High Chair and watch mom and dad eat. I am just preparing for when I get to eat solid foods next month.

Mommy had to go to an Athletic Training conference for 4 days this week and Daddy got to take care of me for 3 whole days. He was pretty nervous at first but we had such a great time. Mom gave Dad a hard time because of the way he was dressing me... He thought that the red 1 year old socks would fit and match my lime green John Deere outfit from Uncle Doug (THANKS)... I am no fashionista, but something doesn't look right!

This is me and Mommy on Easter Sunday, We were looking for Easter eggs.


I am just a happy little guy!

Someday I am going to fly!

I can ROLL

One day shy of my 5 month birthday I started rolling from my back to my tummy, and I haven't stopped since. I will roll at night getting my little legs caught outside of the railings in my crib... this poses a problem because I don't know how to crawl forward to get out, so I get stuck and I have to have mommy or daddy come and rescue me. I thought that you all might want to see me perform my new trick, so here I go....

Another Doctors Appointment

I had my 4 month Dr's appointment this afternoon. I had another round of immunizations so Mommy and Daddy gave me some baby Tylenol before to help with the pain. I am not sure that I like that stuff anymore.... It has a funny taste...

I definitely don't like the taste of Tylenol.

Here are my stats:

Weight: 16.06 lbs
Height: 26.5 inches
Talents: * I full on giggle at things
*I can roll over from my tummy to my back and once I even rolled from my back to my tummy with the help of my daddy's leg...
*I can, while holding onto someones fingers, pull my self into a seated position and then up to a full stand...
*I found my voice this week and I talk and talk... mom and dad just don't know what I am talking about...
*I still don't sleep at all, mommy's bags are getting bigger...
*I had my first real meal of rice cereal tonight... mom hopes that this helps with her bags...
*I can spin on my back like a clock by picking up my legs and rolling to one side and then spin to the next position...
*Everything within my reach is fair game for my mouth, I love to taste everything, including a bowl of cheese dip, I really can't wait until I am old enough to eat sold foods...
*I love to snuggle in bed with mommy and daddy...
**Mostly I bring the greatest joy to my Mom and Dad!

Spider Pig, Spider Pig does whatever a Spider Pig Does....

"Can he swing from a web, no he can't he's a pig, Look out he is the spider pig..."

My Daddy loves the Simpsons... Recently the Spider Pig song came up as he was listening to Pandora Radio and he hasn't been able to stop singing it. He thought that it would be funny to recreate the movie scene. How do I look?

I didn't mind helping him out...Mom tried her best to capture the whole thing on film.

I think that I make a pretty dang good Spider Pig!
