5 Months!

Gray is 5 months old! Here's what he's up to these days: - Started cereal and veggies (loves squash and green beans the most so far...gets pretty excited about them!) - Eats four bottles a day (6-8 ounces) at 7:30 11:30 3:30 and 7 (all vary by 30 mins) - Still napping 3 times a day - first nap is pretty variable and some days it's just while we're on the go - Sleeps 12 hours at night from about 8 to 8. Many nights I have to go in around 4 am to give him paci, but usually just once and he's out again till morning - Sleeps mostly on tummy - Rolls both ways, but more often from back to tummy - Is getting closer to sitting alone (definitely still falls over at this point, but closer!) - Making lots of noises! Cooing, more squealing, laughing, raspberries, some consonants - Loves his play mat, cuddling, to lay on tummy and play with ball, read books, etc. Loves to laugh and play play peek a boo, and especially loves his big sis. Seems to like his bath just fine - not really a big reaction either way with it actually. - Does not love: having to wait if he's really hungry, teething pain - Still very laid back but starting to develop a bit of an opinion (again, usually if it's about being hungry) - Is definitely teething (with any and everything in his mouth, loves to munch on our fingers, drooling, etc.) We had a week or so while on vacation that he was pretty fussy (for him) didn't want to eat, having blow out diapers, etc. and the dr.s office told me it was probably all related to teething. But of course still no teeth! - Getting more hair and has pretty blue eyes - Has not discovered his toes like Saylor had at this age - Is very wiggly! More wiggly than Saylor was...I think he's going to have that boy tendency to be on.the.move! - Had first (and hopefully ONLY) trip to the ER after a fall from out kitchen counter. Completely my fault though an accident, worst night of my life, lots and lots of tears on both his and my part, but he is just fine. :) So very thankful God answered our prayers and he was ok! We love you so much, sweet Gray!!!
