I can hardly believe it-you are 5 months old! Happy Birthday Little Bear! This month we introduced you to a lot of new things like your Bumbo, saucer, walking, and rice cereal. You know words like Da-Da, kitty, binky, elephants, and nurse. You love your binky more than ever. You would really like it 24 hours a day-and now you wake up crying if you don't have it at night. We took you in for your four month checkup and second round of shots. You did better with the shots this time, but you hate when the doctor gets too close or puts the stethoscope on your chest. We found out that you are tall for your age-in the 89th percentile! Who knew? Just keep that up! Your favorite toy has been the soccer ball rattle. And we think it might be time to buy a walker because you are already so good at it and that way you could move a little on your own. Daddy has been hanging out with you every weekend lately so that Mommy can work on projects around the house. It has really brought you two closer-you adore your Daddy-no one else gets you to laugh just by walking in the room. But you still wont let him put you to bed at night. Bedtime has been a challenge lately. You have been sleeping so lightly and are up multiple times every night before you truly fall asleep. It has really taken a toll on your poor Mom. Anytime we laugh you start to smile-either you are trying to get in on what's funny, or you think it is you that we are laughing at. And your feet and armpits are ticklish too! You have really shown an interest in what we are eating or drinking and reach out for our food. You love pop cans and try to put them in your mouth. We finally froze your chew toys. You love them frozen and say "mmmmm" the whole time you are chewing on them. What a month-it has just flown by. Cannot wait to see what accomplishments we have to report next month.
