5 months today

Way behind on posting, sorry! Plan to catch up after Christmas -- lots of pics and little updates to share.

The boy is five months old today, and I think this past month went faster than any of the rest. Suffice it to say for now he's getting more rolly, laughy, chatty and fatty.

Here's him today in his hospital shirt. We wish everyone a happy and safe holiday!

Visit to the doctor


Going to the pediatrician (even though we love ours) makes me nervous, like a mix of job interview and midterm. But at today's four-month visit, we graded well. 

The boy's looking good, and for those who want the stats, he's now 24" (two feet tall!) and 13 lbs 13 oz.

We need to crack down on a static, early bedtime, as well as encouraging him to soothe himself to sleep rather than us doing all the work for him. Of course, when I tried that with his next nap, he went ballistic and now he's napping on my chest. One step forward and two back today, it seems. Better luck to me next time.

Oh and here he is at four months in his birth shirt -- first outfit he wore after his birthday suit.

Moving up in the world (of baby seats)


We borrowed this from a friend -- he's a little small for it yet, as Bittman and Rowling down there will attest, but he's interested in the stuff he can grab, so so far so good.
