5 Months

Wow, time is flying by! I want to remember what you're doing right now...

• You effortlessly roll from back to tummy. However, you haven't quite gotten the hang of rolling back over. Once you get on your tummy (which is every 5 seconds), you scream until I roll you back over. You have rolled back several times, but you prefer to have someone do it for you.
• You hate fruit! This is one of your quirks that still amazes me. Your favorite foods are green beans, green peas, squash, and carrots. You're one unique kid!
• You sleep 7-7 every once and awhile, but still prefer to have your 2 am snack.
• I had the idea to hang a mirror from your playmat last night. Should have thought of this earlier! One of your very favorite pastimes is to stare at yourself in the mirror... Another trait you got from your father! Whenever you get a glance of yourself, the biggest smile immediately spreads across that chubby little face.
• Your personality is really coming through. You smile and giggle constantly. You also like to give sugar and hugs. I have such a sweet baby!
• You communicate by grunting and growling... all the time.
• When you get embarrased, you get a sheepish grin and bury your head on my shoulder.
• You love to rub Daddy's scruff. Whenever he feeds you, you rub your hand back and forth across his face.

Two weeks ago, you had your first weekend alone with Daddy. He survived! I went on Ragan's bachelorette party (which was a blast!) Your dad is SO much help with you, and he was so sweet to keep you for a whole weekend. I got several, "How do you do this every day?" and "Do I need to get you a nanny?" texts, but overall it was a great weekend.

We had your baptism last weekend. You were an angel! Honestly, I couldn't have asked for you to be any sweeter. Pictures will come later, but it was such a special day. Pop baptised you, and your dad couldn't get over how wonderful it was that your great-grandfather baptised you. Terry had you cracking up during the service. The nursery workers said you played on every toy, and you were such a doll during lunch. We had 59 family members and friends to Mammy and Papa's house for lunch. They were so sweet to host your party.
