5 Months Old

Conner is 5 months old today. He has changed so much over the past 5 months and is so much fun to be around. He brightens my day like I never thought anything could. He is my therapy after long, hard days at work. His smile will light up the house. He is magnetic. Happy Birthday Conner.

Couch Potato

His eyes are big and Blue? Brown? Gray?

Considering Rogaine

****Watching TV****

He had just got a bath and we were contimplating going the the Fall Festival or staying home because of the rain. We didnt't know if we needed to dress him or put him in a sleeper to hang out at home. We put him in a bath robe that was way too short and left little to the imagination. He seemed to love airing out the package.

*****What Conner is up to at 5 Months Old*****

1. He weighs 22 pounds and is 28 inches Long
2. He wears size 12 months clothing
3. He still has very little hair. It looks blond some times with patches of dark brown. I am sure it will continue to change. There is too little of it to decide what color it will be.
4. His eyes change with the color of shirt he wears. They are big and dark. Sometimes dark blue, sometimes dark brown, and sometimes dark gray.
5. He has one tooth. The bottom front.
6. He takes cat naps. He doesn't want to miss anything.
7. He still gets up once or twice during the night to eat. That is getting old.
8. He loves his exersauser and play yard. He can entertain himself on those just looking at all the different colors and toys. There is so much on them for him to explore.
9. He is getting so good with his hands. His movements are much smoother. He can pass a toy back and forth between hands. He can take his pacifier out of his mouth and put it back in. He wants to help hold his bottle. He can snatch glasses off your face or pull your hair before you can think twice. He is sneaky quick.
10. He chews on everything. Teethers, rags, toys, pillows, mommy's face. Anything near his mouth is going in. His little tooth is giving him the fits.
11. He is the happiest thing I have ever seen. He laughs and giggles all day long and even in the middle of the night. He wakes up happy most every time. Unless he is starving.
12. He sits up for a long time with the support of someone behind him. He can sit by himself for a short time and then topples to the side or face first into the ground. It won't be long until he doesn't need any help.
13. He loves to be talked too and read too. He will help you turn the pages and even chew on them if you let him. He talks like his is reading along with you.
14. He is such a good eater. Did I have to say that? He is 22 pounds!!!!!! He eats rice cereal, oatmeal with bananas, carrots, green beans, peas, squash, zucchini, sweet potatoes, red potatoes, and prunes. He loves to eat. I am so happy he isn't picky early on.
15. He seems to love his new car seats. They are bigger and reclining. He can see out the windows better. He acts like he is a big boy when he is in his car seat.
16. He is such a joy to be around
