5 months

Yes, he is actually 6 mo. as of yesterday, but here are the last few pics from his 5th month. I had time to upload them the last Sunday of Thanksgiving break, but then never got to journal.

Check out the onesie (and no, we didn't buy it, lol) and how much his hair is beginning to come in:

Eating his hands...

A big gummer (not sure how much longer those will last since teeth can now come in anytime!)

And eating has definitely gotten better all of a sudden. Here's when he was just really getting interested in eating with a spoon (pardon the retarded noises I make...that's the only way he'd open his mouth)...and then last week (once the fever broke), he suddenly decided he LOVED oatmeal and would grab my hand trying to get it into his mouth faster! I was planning on introducing solids that week, but with the fever and recovering, we opted not to. Then, the Similac Sensitive totally messed up his #2 schedule, so the poor little guy had to drink prune juice (I'll tell the whole story the next time I post).

During the break, Jason went to the Saints/Cowboys game with his family (I didn't have any interest in going to the game with a baby--who ended up being sick anyway--and thought my folks would still be here, so I opted out). Reid and I bundled up and went for an evening walk to look at the Christmas lights. Remind you of any particular snowsuit in A Christmas Story?

Laura had told me how you should record them crying at a few stages (and I'm sure it'll crack him up when he's older), so we took some video before we found out he had fever. Thankfully he is better this week.

We tried the swing set on our neighborhood playground for the first time (he's still not quite ready for it, but it was still cute)

On Thanksgiving Day, he was definitely feeling better (but was still cranky the rest of the break as he caught up) and demonstrated his new tummy time grins.
