5 months.

On my 5-month birthday. Look at my two bottom teeth!

Love him in little hats. About to leave for Angel's house.

I say it every month, but I can't believe how fast my baby boy is growing! 5-months old! That is so hard for me to believe. Oh, he is soooooo sweet and seems to be getting sweeter with each and every day. When I took these pictures of him on the morning of his 5-month birthday (Friday), I got so sad. I think he looks like such a big boy - not so much like a newborn baby anymore - he is just growing too fast. We are making sure though that we enjoy EVERY minute with him. Here are a few of Drew's favorite things at 5-months old.

-JUMPING! in the jumper at Angel's house, in his exersaucer, standing on your lap, etc. His weight has actually stayed level lately (around 20 pounds) - I'm sure its from all of the exercise he's getting JUMPING!
-Loves looking in the mirror at himself.
-Sitting up and playing with his toys!
-Watching Cotton's every move. He's already gotten a hold of Cotton's hair once (he wants to pet him). Cotton handled it very well...he just kind of backed away (he loves Drew).
-Grabbing Mommy and Daddy's faces and playing with our hair. Also, for some reason, he wants to eat Mommy's face.
-Squealing, talking, laughing all the time.
-Not one of his favorite things - but Drew has had LOTS of ear infections (4 in the past 5 months). He gets over one and then has another one. Weird because neither Sam or I have a history with ear infections. Very likely he will get tubes in the next month or two.
-Sleeping on his tummy.
-Rolling over from his back to stomach - occasionally, he will roll back the other way, but not consistently.
-Pushing his chest up off the ground when on his tummy - can't coordinate the movement of his legs though yet.
-Eating rice, fruit and veggies - he's doing great with a spoon!
-Loves waking up at 5:30 am EVERY morning - it doesn't matter what time he goes to bed. Still sleeping all night though, so I guess I shouldn't complain.
