Everett's 5 months old today!! He's getting so big, and sooooooooo active. I don't know what I'm going to do when he starts crawling and walking. He's grabbing for anything and everything, and then those things end up in his mouth. He LOVES attention, and gets plenty of it. Everyone at works continues to stop by and see him. When Todd keeps him home, everyone notices when he's gone and asks where he is.
In the past month he's become so much more active. He'd been able to roll from his stomach to back for awhile, but had never been real consistent. Now for the past 1 or 2 two he's been doing it all the time. So we tried working more on going from back to stomach and he finally got it down yesterday! He use to now really know how to move his arm from underneath his stomach, but he figured it out! Now he's constantly going back and forth when he's on the ground. Granted he wont really do it on demand. I was trying to show Todd last night and he'd just stare at us. It was finally when we just let him be that he started doing it again.
He is becoming way more vocal. He loves to eat tons now. Before I could barely get him to drink 4oz. and now he chugs down 6. We tried feeding him rice cereal, but he had a little reaction to it so we're giving him a little break on that. Anytime I'm eating an apple or orange, he wants some. He just sucks on the apple, but devours the orange slices. Then when it's gone he gets a little upset!
We love our a little man and are enjoying every minute with him. I'm trying to savor those moments of cuddling (usually only when he's sleeping), giggles, and everything else. I have to keep reminding myself he'll only be this small once. He truly is a joy and we can't get enough of him.
