Five Months!

This month has been a very busy month for us! So because of that I haven’t kept very good records of what you’ve done and learned this month :( We are finally getting settled into or new house! Daddy and I are so glad you are not mobile yet, because the past three weeks our house has definitely been far from baby proof. We got your room and our bedroom painted, along with the kitchen cabinets (minus the doors). For your room I just need to find some time when you aren’t napping to finish putting up your decorations.

You have changed so much this past month and are growing up way too fast! It seems every day you are getting bigger and bigger and learning something else.

-You love to play peek-a-boo with your burp rag. Except you are a crazy adrenaline junkie baby and think it’s funny to hold your breath and gasp like you can’t breathe. (I know I’ve posted about this before, but you are doing it more often!) It’s come to the point where you aren’t allowed to have a burp rag within reach unless you are supervised 100% of the time….

-Whenever a stranger or someone you don’t know tries to talk to you, you usually sit and stare at them for a long time and study them. You are pretty good at that blank stare thing. I think you get that from your daddy.

-You really love your door bouncer! You can even get so high both feet come off the ground. You like it so much that you still bounce even when you are crying...!

-When you have tummy time, you are finally learning to put your arms out in front of you instead of flailing at your sides. You are even playing with toys we put in front of you.

-Whenever you want to be picked up, you are learning how to put your arms out in front of you. You don't quite reach up yet, but you are moving in the right direction!

-You love your puppy. Whenever Loretta comes close you always reach out to her and try to pet her. Sometimes she will even lie next to you so you can rub her belly (and grab her paws and ears). You like to watch her play fetch too. The other night I had you on your tummy on the floor while I was playing with Loretta and you turned yourself completely around on your belly so you could watch too :)

-Rolling from tummy to back is getting easier for you, and you are even trying to get from back to tummy sometimes! Pretty soon you are going to be all over the place…..

-We have been working on your sleep schedule the past couple weeks and I am happy to report you are getting better at not go to bed at 2am! You are starting to sleep semi-normal baby hours, which is fantastic.

-You are also a very happy baby. You love to laugh all the time, and you even laugh now when tickled, instead of cry :) Your little laugh just brightens my day.

This past weekend was also Father’s Day! It was Daddy’s first one and you and I did a cute picture for him. He fell in love with it! Every year we decided we are going to do the same picture and we will be able to watch how much you change every year. We also took Daddy to a Braves game. It was your first game! And of course you flirted with all the ladies around us :)

Since you are always watching and grabbing for our food, we decided we will probably start with your first foods a couple weeks before your 6 month birthday. Because we have a long weekend for 4^th of July, we will probably start that weekend just so we can make sure there won’t be any allergic reactions at all. So that will be another fun milestone in a couple weeks!

I love you so much, Trenton, and I am so blessed to call you my son.
