One, Two, Three, Four, Five!

Five months old today!

                       Five months old today, 23 weeks tomorrow! So this is what he's up to now.

                                                     Likes: Raspberrying his food all over.

Messy face!

                                                       Making razzing noises. All the time.
                                            Bath time and getting a lotion massage afterward.
(Oh! And he's graduated to the big bath due to his bath falling apart. Who knew baby oil was a glue solvent?)

♪ Rubber ducky, you're the one! You  make bath time so much fun! ♪

                                            Chewing on fingers/trying to fit whole fist in mouth.
                                            Playing with Mr. Wiggles the Worm, er, Caterpillar.

Cousin Noah picked Mr. Wiggles out for me. I love him already!

                                             Chewing on the hand Dadda got him for Christmas.

He stuck one of the fingers into his binky so he could chew on them at the same time.

                                Reading books and turning the page when Mommy is done reading.
                                                              Watching his robo-bug!

                                                          Standing. (With help of course)
                                                            Screaming/squealing happily

                                       Dislikes: The terrible, horrible, no good nose sucker thing!
                                                              Going to bed too late.
Waking up to people in his face. This is a MAJOR dislike. He gets the serious grumps if he doesn't have personal space when he wakes up. Other than that he is very smiley when he wakes up.

                                      Getting better at: Letting Mommy wipe his face after eating.
                                                                   Sitting by himself.

Epic FAIL! 

                                                              Rolling over, both ways.
                                                                 Using his binky less.

We are binky free at naptime!

                                                                Holding his own bottle.

                                            Here are some fun shots from this past month.

This is what happens when you try to get a starving baby to "pose". 

This jolly guy visited the  Fire Department and wanted his picture taken with me.

Sleepy morning.

*Awesome* hat Aunt Nette got me!

(darn flash) Very snuggly in my jammies from Uncle Leif and Aunt Holly.

I was sneaky and found my binky at nap time.  But, it's all right, I just used it as a pillow.  See the print on my cheek?

Firetruck slippers! Thanks Cassie!

Wresting with Mommy. I think she's a jungle gym.
