Five months

Why does time insist on moving so quickly?  Why does my baby have to grow up?

It's so much fun to see him learn and grow but I miss this so much.  Oakley celebrated five months on October 30.  He is such a happy baby.  Everyone always asks me if he is always that happy and he is.  We have been so blessed to have this sweet boy come into our family.  I really don't know how we survived without him!  Here are some facts about the best five month old ever.

*He loves to be outside.  I am thankful that we are having a mild fall this year because he has loved being outside.

*He is starting to sit.  He can sit about 10 second unassisted or about 5 minutes if he is on the grass (it must cushion him enough to stabilize him)

*He is starting to like tummy time

*He can rotate when laying on his back (i.e. if I lay him in the 12 o'clock position he will wiggle and kick his way around to the 3 o'clock position)

*He still is sleeping good but not as good as I would like.  His cough has been getting worse so that wakes him up at about 5-7 hours after I lay him down. 

*He still loves to nurse and is starting to get mad if I am not fast enough!

*He loves to play with toys, especially noisy ones...

*He loves to cuddle

*He has the best toothless grin ever!
