Ryan: 5 Months

Happy 5 months Ryan!One word to describe you this month is CURIOUS. You want to touch and taste everything! And when you can't, you get frustrated.
We started you on solids this month. So far you have tried rice cereal, banana, avocado and peas. You like everything! You've quickly learned what a spoon is and you open your mouth when you see it coming towards you.You are not crawling yet, but you've started to scoot. I think you have the strength to do it, you just need to figure out how to work your arms and legs at the same time. We're giving you plenty of tummy time to practice!You are slowly becoming a happier baby and it is so fun for me. I love hearing you laugh! Daddy can usually get you to laugh by rubbing your feet on his prickly chin. When you're not laughing or crying, you're talking. You love expressing yourself by saying things like "Ah Ghoo" and "Ghee".
You're becoming such a big boy. You weigh 15 lbs now and are wearing size 6 month clothes! I can't believe you've almost doubled your birth weight. Sometimes I thought you'd stay tiny forever!
I recently read that a 5 month old baby is now able to stay awake for 3 hours at a time during the day. You? You tend to stay awake for 13 hours. You get up at 7am and stay awake until your 8pm bedtime. Can you please learn how to take a nap before you are 6 months old? Pretty please?


Love you Baby Ryan!!
