5 Months

Adam is 5 months old now as of Saturday! Time is starting to go by super fast. I feel like I just did a 4 month update. He weighed 17 lbs. 7 oz. as of last Wednesday when we went into the doctor's office because of his second ear infection. He will probably have to get tubes in his ears this winter. Adam loves to roll over from his back to his stomach but then he gets stuck. This makes diaper changing time a wrestling match. He loves to squeal and makes lots of high-pitched birdie noises. He eats rice cereal twice a day and has squash or sweet potatoes at dinner time, although he doesn't really like the squash. He is sooo interested in food though and watches us eat very intensely. We can't share with you yet buddy! He is in size 3 diapers and is wearing 6-9 month clothing. He loves to stand up on our laps but is starting to sit more if we support him. He is grabbing onto things more especially my hair and I must say he has quite the grip! He takes naps in his bed now so we are home a lot more which has been a huge change for me. We're trying to keep a regular schedule of one nap in the morning and two in the afternoon. He goes to bed at 7 and will sleep until 9 with two feedings in the night...usually. Every so often he'll wake up every three hours in the night and that REALLY throws me off as well the general happiness in our home :) Dan says now that if Adam is happy then I am happy and if I'm happy then we're all happy. It is very true! Adam has the cutest laugh and we love to hear it and see him smile. I love that his sense of humor is developing and he'll laugh if I say something silly or dance around. I can't wait for him to tell me jokes and dance around too!
