Oops. We are halfway to 6 months now, but I want to get these things recorded!
Our sweet "brudder" has already been around 5 months and it seems like he's always been here! Can't believe he is almost half a year old!! He's certainly a snuggle baby and LOVES to be held or at least looked at all day.
Jack-man, at 5 months you are:
- Rolling over
- Eating your feet
- Sleeping from 7:30/8:00 pm - 6:30-8:00 am
- Takes 3 naps a day {morning and evening naps are NEVER longer than an hour. Afternoon nap is HOPEFULLY longer than 2 hours!}
-Wearing size 2 diapers
- Size 3-6 month clothes. 6 month sleepers and smocked outfits
- Teething like a mad man. Seriously. Drooling and chewing all the time!
- Used to love the paci, but since the teething began, paci has become indifferent
- Great eater: bananas mashed up with formula {and Prevacid} in the mornings, and any veggie at night before bed. He gags with most fruits {besides bananas} but loves him some squash, carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas. His nose will be turning orange any day!
- Takes 4-5 6 oz. bottles a day.
- Loves to watch Reese. She goes around calling him brudder, sister, and/or cousin. She's a little confused. He wants to be wherever she is.
- He's got a mean screech that lets you know he is NOT HAPPY with his situation. This situation usually involves not being held. His scream is ear-piercing. It's intense.
- Not a great car rider, which is pretty unfortunate, considering how much we are in the car!
- Still spitting up all the live long day. When will it end?
- Big blue eyes and {what I think will be} blonde hair. He doesn't have much hair, but what's coming in is blonde!
- When he's not being held, he tolerates the bouncy seat and exersaucer.
- Belly laughs at dogs. Only black and white dogs. Haha, it's weird but ADORABLE!
My little man,
What a joy you are! Even when my arms tire of holding you, my hearts grows with love for you! Now, you seem to be pretty "I-know-what-I-want-and-I-want-it-now", and that's ok...but we may have to have a life lesson about going with the flow! I can't believe you have the same gorgeous eyes as your sister and your daddy. Why did I get left out? Speaking of your sister, she's pretty crazy about you. She wants you to sit on her lap a lot. She gives you her toys {even if it's only for .02 seconds} and likes to make sure you have a clean diaper and clean clothes. She also tries to bathe you! Sorry about all the water in your eyes and nose. She's learning. I imagine you will be splashing her before long. I can't wait to see your relationship develop. She might boss you around later in life, but you better believe that she's going to protect you.
I can't wait to see what you make of your life. God has some amazing things planned, I just know it. How lucky am I that I get to be a part of it!
So glad you're mine!
