Our 5-Month Old

Cole reached 5 months old on Saturday. My, how time flies!!! He's changed so much. It seems like just yesterday he and I were taking naps on the couch together, a sweet little bundle of a baby tucked under my arm. Now he's all squirmy, rolls over constantly, laughs and giggles and makes the most adorable baby noises (some pretty loud too...you'd think a bobcat was outside the window!)

Here are Cole's stats to date:

Weighs over 15 lbs. (50%)
Measured 26 1/2 inches long at 4 mo. (95%)
Rolls over (both ways--tummy to back/back to tummy)
Grabs at toys/puts in mouth
Coos/laughs/giggles/smiles
Starting to sit up better (not quite there)
Hold head up and can raise up on arms when on tummy
Looks up when Mommy or Daddy enter room and smiles
"swims" when on tummy
Stands upright (when supported)
ETC!

Here's a little photo shoot I did with him last week:




He's always looking outside




Drooly little smile :)









"Please, Mom. Not a diaper change now!"




I love this sweet face!




Grins and giggles




You talkin' to me?!?




"Hmm....I wonder what's outside.."









How YOU doin'?




You caught me!




Sittin' tall




I've got a secret!




My Sweet Son!



Have a Happy Monday!
