5 months old!

My goodness. Although I'm certain it's only been a matter of weeks, the calendar says Everett is 5 months old! I know I say this every time, but we could not be more crazy about him.


Stats (guessing on these since we won't be back at the dr. until 6 months):

Height around 25 inches, per my attempt at measuring
Weight around 15 or so pounds
Head not a clue. Still big.

Everett at 5 months, you:

Still love to eat. You now eat 5x a day. Around 7 am, 11:00 am, 2:45 pm, 6 pm and 8:30 pm.

You're definitely not fighting any of your naps this month. I have to wake you from at least one of them every day.

No sickness this month! Hallelujah.

You have discovered shrieking. You do it allllll day. It's a lot of shrieking. It's especially fun in public. You learned how to blow bubbles this month which was so cute. But you've now given it up in favor of shrieking.

Still have reflux. Looks like you may just not grow out of it. We will see!

You don't roll very often anymore these days but you're making good progress on scooting on your belly. You'd still much rather we never forced you on your tummy.

Still not sleeping exclusively in the crib. You've taken some successful naps there though.

You're definitely teething. You've been cutting the same tooth in the front for awhile now. You're a little fussier than usual but not too bad so far.

You started holding your own bottle this month. You can't maneuver it back in if you drop it (mostly because you are shaking with anticipation to get it back in. See: loves to eat) but you can hold it up on your own.

You've started putting your hands on our faces. This is both adorable and concerning in that its hard to tell when you're going to do it sweetly and when you're going to dig in with your fingernails. Either way, we love it.

We just love you!!! You're so precious and so full of personality and so fun. We can't get enough.

Look how you've changed!
