5 Months

My sweet Hadley boy...

5 months!!! Has it really been that long?!? You are getting so big and changing so much every day. Daddy said just a few minutes ago, "he's growing up way too fast!" and I couldn't agree more. It seems like every day you do something new that we haven't seen before. Yesterday, for example, was a big day because you finally rolled over! Well, okay, you've actually been rolling over for a couple weeks, but no one ever actually witnessed it until yesterday when daddy and I both saw you do it. We were so excited!! And since then you have showed us your new trick over and over.

You talk all the time, but your favorite time to jabber seems to be when we are in a public place like a restaurant, or church, or some other place where your cute, but loud, voice is not necessarily appropriate. Oh well...we'll work on it.

We haven't started you on food yet because you seem to still be satisfied with just your formula. Maybe sometime in the next month we will start on some cereal. That should be fun, and will surely result in some cute pictures!

This past month we moved you into your own room to sleep in your crib. I don't really know why we waited so long, because (for the most part) it has gone really well. Some nights you wake up more than others, but you can usually put yourself back to sleep. We got you a cute mobile to look at while you lay in bed and I think you really like it.

You did get sick again this month with a slight ear infection and sinus infection, but I think they are just about cleared up thanks to our friend, amoxicillin. Other than a runny, snotty nose and a little cough you seem lots better.

Your favorite things to do include: playing "super baby" with daddy, playing in your exer-saucer, laying on your tummy and kicking your legs, looking in the mirror at yourself, and going outside with daddy to play with Murph. You are still full of smiles, and greet us with one almost every morning when we get you out of bed. What a great way to start the morning!

I can't believe how lucky daddy and I are to get to spend every day with you. We love you so very much sweet boy!
