Happy five-month birthday Curtis!
You are 5 months old today! This past month has been one of the most fun yet! You have "woken up" to the world and are learning so much each day! Mom and Dad love you more than you will ever know. We really can't imagine how empty our lives would be without you around. You make us happier than we ever thought possible. Thanks for being such a wonderful boy!
-You are still a big boy. You weigh around 17 lbs and you still have the yummiest, squishiest cheeks in the world. We love to kiss and squish you all day long!
-You started eating solids about 2 weeks ago. At first I didn't think you were quite ready, but the next day we tried again and you were a pro. So far you have eaten rice cereal, bananas, green beans, and applesauce. So far you are doing great with everything you've eaten.
-You have rolled over both ways (back to tummy and tummy to back). But, you don't really care to do it very often. No hurry though...mom's okay if you don't move around yet :).
-You are very close to sitting up without support.
-We think you are close to getting a tooth, but so far your mouth is still all gum.
-You have discovered your tongue, and you love to poke it out at everyone...especially when you smile. It is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen.
-You've discovered how to yell and make really loud noises. Lately your favorite thing is to try and make as much noise as possible.
-You are beginning to love toys. Mom is able to put you down more, and you are able to keep yourself entertained.
-You are still a great sleeper. You usually go to bed around 8:30pm and you wake up between 6:30 and 7:30am. When you wake up mom or dad will bring you into our bed so you can eat. Then you sleep and snuggle with mom and dad for another hour. This will have to change when school and work start again though.
-You love all of your grandparents, and boy do they love you!
-You usually take 3 naps a day. One around 10 or 11am, one around 2pm, and one around 5pm.
-You are laughing a lot now, and we love hearing it!
-You are such a happy, friendly boy. You smile at everyone and get really excited around people. When you're excited it shows in your whole body.
We love you Curtis!!!
You are the greatest Christmas present we've ever had,
and the only one we need this year!
I agree that this is the age that it starts getting fun!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe he is already this old!! I looooved when Cohen was around 6 months, this stage is definitely one of my favorites :) Oh, and enjoy the 3 naps while you can!! Cohen is down to one now, and it's usually just a little over an hour... not enough for me ha.
