This month you've become a master roller. Rolling right, rolling left and you are FAST! You've also started pushing up into full cobra and trying to crawl. Right now you get a little flustered that your arms and legs can't quite get you where you want to go, but we know you'll be mobile in no time.
You are really taking in the world around you and love to laugh. You think mommy and daddy can make some awfully funny faces. You are also very ticklish! Especially on your back.
You're interacting with Louie even more, petting him and grabbing his poor little ears. He is a good sport though. He's learned not to lay too close to you lest he get pinched.
This month we started you on some solid foods. We tried oatmeal cereal for a week or so, but it didn't agree with your tummy...lots of spit up. Mommy bought you some sweet potato baby food and that seemed to work out much better. It's so fun now to have you at the table eating breakfast and dinner with us. You LOVE your food. We tried to give you real sweet potato, but the texture was too much for you and swallowing it (even though it was completely mashed up) seemed to be scary to you. So, we'll stick with the purees for now to keep you happy and enjoying your meals.
You're back to waking up once or even twice a night for milk. I guess you're growing or just need some extra TLC from mom. We're zombies, but know that someday you'll go back to sleeping through the night!
During the day we play play play. You are really into your bouncer and all the toys on there, especially the light up Piano. Yesterday, mommy took you to a baby shower and first birthday party then over to Grammy and Grampa's house. You were such a good baby. An entire day on the road and barely a tear shed. I was hoping you'd sleep through the night after all that running around. You did not. Ha!
Carter, how did we reach 5 months already? We are marveling at how you're growing and loving how you're so interactive now. You're still just the cutest, sweetest kiddo. You're finally getting heavier, but still a string bean. Such a lean little dude! We love you so much and wake up every day excited to experience the world with you.
Love,
Mom & Dad
