You are 5 months old today.
I love you!
There is so much to say, and will never be enough time or space.
You are big in everything. Big in spirit, in size, in calm temperament, in appetite, in enthusiasm for life. Every minute you are with us you are more excited than the last. And, the other day you picked up a golf ball that was rolling around on the tray of your walker. I was very impressed.
You are still the king of puke - but it's getting better, especially the more "real food" you eat. Yesterday, you tried applesauce and loved it. You are definitely a cereal and sauce guy. Anything that gets us a step closer to no more bottle is always good. Food is so much better than soy formula - I promise.
You can sit up, almost completely by yourself, your front two teeth are this close to popping through, and even though you were a pro at rolling over a few weeks ago - your girth seems to have gotten in the way. It's much easier to have mom and dad and grandma carry you around, isn't it?
You love your cousin Maddie who helps take care of you a couple afternoons a week, as well as all the other people who smile and laugh at you.
The new stroller is a hit, and riding in the car at night is good - even if you have to ride backwards.
You love to laugh and smile and sing songs all the day long. Whenever I'm having a bad day, a few kisses of your squishy cheeks seems to always make everything better.
Napping is getting better - meaning that every once in a while you are actually taking one longer than 35 minutes and I just love you for it. Forever.
Most importantly, you love your brother and that makes me so happy. One day soon enough you'll be able to get to him and slobber on him and chase him - but for now, laughing at him seems to be just enough. Even though he thinks your a stinky puker. Your goofy brother has taken to calling you his little chickermunker and whether you like it or not, "Chicker" is probably going to be your nickname for the rest of your life. It'll grow on you, promise.
Oh sweet boy!
We love you lots and lots.
Keep growing and loving life and flourishing. It is so exciting to watch you!
