5 Months Old = Many New Things!

Momma has been very busy these last few weeks. She said she was sorry she didn't get to help me write on my birthday. So here is my birthday post late.

I'm 5 months old now. I weigh 15lbs, 14oz (50%) and am 27 inches long (90%). I still really love to take my baths and I enjoy laughing at Momma and Daddy. Recently I start to get scared when Momma or Daddy leave me with other people. I just would rather hang out with them. When Momma and Daddy leave me with someone I don't know very long, I cry really loud until they come back. Last week in Sunday School I cried really loud until Mrs. Rachel took me to my Momma.

Momma and Daddy gave me my first taste of cereal on Wednesday. It tasted different but I like it. Since then, Momma is now feeding me cereal two times a day right now. She said in the next few weeks I'll get to try some other foods.

Momma is not giving me a bath every night anymore. Dr. Beck told Momma that it dries out my skin too much. Momma still lets me splash in the bath a few times a week though.

Also on my birthday, I started wearing new Pajamas instead of a Sleep Sack. Momma said that means I'm "getting big".

Momma took these pictures of me making funny faces.

I have a lot of new things now that I'm 5 months old!

"The Holidays" are over

Momma finally has some time to help me write more. She said now that "the holidays" are over, we can "settle back into a good routine".

Momma said "it's a new year now". I'm not sure what she means but I know that Daddy had to start going back to work every day and even had to go on an overnight trip. I miss Daddy but I like that Momma and I get to stay home and I can sleep in my crib instead of my car seat.

I enjoyed seeing lots of people over the holidays and my new toys are pretty nice. Momma said her favorite is my new tummy time toy. She has been making me lay on my tummy more and I really don't like it. I did figure out that if I just lay there for a little while, screaming or not, then she lets me lay on my back and play for a while. So I try to just lay there and not scream until my neck gets too tired. I like to laying on my back because then I can scoot around by arching my back and pulling myself with my legs or by pulling my legs on the bars of my mat. Momma took these pictures of me before the Ohio State game.

Momma said I should mention how upset I was that the Rose Bowl game that Ohio State played in was on after my bedtime. I missed the whole thing, but Daddy said that Ohio State played well and won so it's okay. Momma tried to take some pictures of me before the Rose Bowl game, but I was just too upset to smile.

I've been waking up more at night because I'm hungry. Momma said that maybe I'll get to start eating some "solid food" after my next visit to see Dr. Beck on my 5 month birthday. She said she will have to check to see if milk is still hurting my tummy first though. I hope she doesn't eat too much at once and make me go stinky all over my clothes.

Okay, I'm going to go to bed now. Night, night.
