5 Months!

My beautiful boy is 5 months old! He is changing everyday and is always doing something new everytime I turn around.

So far Colt...

* has mastered all of the stage one veggies. Green beans, peas, squash, carrots, sweet potatoes etc...

*loves his jumperoo!

*still sleeps all night

*talks to his "froggie" saying "oh oh oh"

*Cracks up laughing when you say "wash the spider out" during the itsy bitsy spider song

*is very tickleish

*takes a great 2-3 hour nap in his crib

*has been pacifier-less for over a month!!

*loves his bath time

*loves social interaction. He will look at whomever is speaking and give them his full attention

*focuses when you read him books. Doodad said he read Colt the same book 5 times in a row with Colt's full attention each time.

*anticipates actions

*is starting to recognize my signs (I think) :) Everytime I take him out of his highchair, jumperoo, swing, car seat etc... I sign "out." Colt was crying in his jumperoo and I said Colt do you want "out?"( while signing "out") and he stopped crying and smiled with his arms raised. He has done this a few times. When I sign "jump" he laughs and jumps

*stands proud when you stand him up complete with a big grin and arms spread out wide

*Everytime he gets put on his back he rolls to his belly and stares up at you.

*Puts his feet and knees under his belly and pushes his rear in the air. This accomplishes nothing for him, but its good excercise and looks funny :)

*grabs your face when you get close to his face.

*He is a master hair puller

*He HATES being held like a baby. He likes to be held outward so he can see.

*loves being outside

*LOVES music. Anytime he is fussy, I can put music on and he immediately stops

*He loves Papaw's guitar playing

*does great in church while we sing for the first 30 minutes...after it stops he just starts talking outloud. So he may get to start going to the nursery :)

If any of you can think of something I left out, let me know. I'd like to document it on here
