My sweet boy is 5 months! And with Andrew turning 5 months, he has also become Mr. Clingy. My baby who I could leave on his own for so long has decided that he really likes his mommy! It's really getting harder to do things around here. And while I love how much he loves me, the child wants to be held ALL the time now! If I lay him on the ground when he doesn't want to be left, he automatically pushes out that bottom lip and gives the most pathetic little cry!
Oh how he loves this monkey man!
Such a kissable face!
This month Andrew has really gotten into his exersaucer and we are having to give up the swing. Although he still really loves the swing, he is just getting too big for it. He keeps trying to sit up so he ends up sideways in the thing (thank goodness for seatbelts!) But he loves the excersaucer and the toys on it. He really interacts with it and plays with everything on it. He finally figured out how to roll from his tummy to his back, but has only done it a few times. It's funny though because he gets into position to roll back over and then he seems to psych himself out and can't figure it out again! Even Isabella tries to help him figure it out. It's pretty weird!
He still loves to eat his feet and now loves pulling his socks off. He has been seriously drooling for about 3 weeks now and everyday I think I will see a little tooth that has poked through, but nothing yet. His eyelashes are getting a bit longer and darker, and so is his hair, believe it or not! His eyes still haven't decided on a color- sometimes they look green, sometime brown. So, we'll see!
Andrew started eating food this month! He has eaten his cereal (loves oatmeal!) and sweet potatoes and carrots. I really feel like the poor kid had just been dying to eat. He would watch me eat, following the food with his eyes. And when I feed him, if I don't go fast enough, he whines and grunts so that I will hurry with the next bite. And of course, if I am not fast enough, the foot or the fist goes in :) And he has been doing this funny humming grunt when he is tired. I remember Izzie doing it too, but she was a little older. Everyone that hears it thinks it's pretty cute ;)
And with the eating, he has been sleeping through the night as well- which has been wonderful! (Except last night was really bad. We're just going to hope that was an off night :)) He still takes a lot of little naps during the day, but I'm hoping he will fall into some sort of schedule soon.
We are so incredibly blessed to have this special, sweet little boy in our lives and I just can't get enough of him :) He truly lights up my life.
