5 Months

Maks, you are 5 months old.

You weigh 16 lbs.

You wear a size 6-9 months and some 6-12 months clothing.

You have become a good sleeper (mostly) and you usually sleep 11-12 hours per night.

You have also become a good eater and in the past month you have really started to like baby food.  You have had applesauce, peaches, bananas, pears, green beans, peas, sweat potatoes and corn and daddy let you suck on a french fry (and you loved it).

You have become an expert at rolling over and I often find you sleeping on your stomach (which I don't really like, but every time that I put you on your back, you flip right over).

When you are on your stomach, you try to crawl to your toys, but you are not strong enough to get up on your knees yet.

You can also sit by yourself with the boppy pillow.

You still love to stand.  If you get excited when you are standing, you will start dancing.  

You are still obsessed with everything that Maya does and she is still pretty obsessed with taking care of you.

We have really noticed a change in your personality over the past few weeks.  You have become a happy, content little guy who is much more independent.  You are so much more observant of everything around you.  You will play on a blanket or in the exersaucer for several minutes and you actually enjoy it.  Sometimes you even wake up happy and are talking to yourself in your bed.  I can't believe we have had you for almost a half of a year!  Time is flying by, so if you could slow this growing process, that would be great!!
