Luke 5 months

Time is just flying with this little boy in our lives! He is interacting more and more, and Mason is starting to pay more attention to him, and it is so fun!

Likes:
- rice cereal
- sitting up
- his exersaucer (shout-out to my mom for buying one to be a "grandma's house" toy!)
- watching whatever Mason is doing, and loves when Mason plays with him!
- bath time (finally!)
- loves the star-shaped links we have
- playing with Grandma and Grandpa! (And I love when they get home and want to play with and hold him! He makes my arms tired!!)

Dislikes:
- being too warm, especially when he is sleeping. This presents a problem because he still likes to be swaddled to go to sleep..
- having to poop. The rice cereal has slowed his bowels down and its not his fave. I'm debating backing off for a few more weeks..

Other notables:
- doesn't really care for tummy time, so he has no interest in rolling or crawling
- trying really hard to sit on his own. He does pretty well but I don't dare walk away yet..
-outgrowing his 9 month clothes. Is this kid for real?? He's huge! Haha but I love it!
-"talking" even more and I love it.
-still nursing really well, although with the stress of the move etc. my milk supply has decreased and he's had a couple bottles with formula mixed in with breast milk. I completely burned through my freezer supply and am trying to build it back up. Not easy when his digestive system doesn't like solids yet!

We are seriously smitten by this kid! We love his charming smiles, and he sneaks you one at the silliest times. It's great!




Grandma got him to sleep yay! / We have tons of pics os Mason sleeping like this.Luke doesn't do it often 


Stares out the window and watches the dogs. He's pretty content there most of the time!

Driving to CA, we pulled over just after Tahoe and I nursed Luke while Mason and Sean explored. This is his "mom are you crazy?? I can't drive!" face.

Lots of car rides this past month. He was such a trooper!


Buddies with Grandpa



Fascinated by the marbles

Why are sleeping babies so precious?!



Any time Luke is doing tummy time, Mason usually ends up right next to him.


(Well these got all out of order but whatever.)
Happy 5 months kid! Now slow down!!
