Five months old!

Reed is FIVE months old today. I can hardly believe he is one month away from being half a year old. Where have the last five months gone? Seriously.

These photos are getting more difficult to get!

This was a hard month. He didn’t feel well for a good part of the month but thankfully he is back to our sweet, happy little guy. The turn around has been phenomenal. He went to the doctor three times this month. After two rounds of antibiotics and a steroid, we finally have him feeling good again!

Reed, here’s what you are up to, little man:

• On February 15, you rolled from your back to your tummy for the first time.
• In just the past three or four days, you’ve become a pro at eating cereal. Yesterday, you had it for the first time at school and they mixed applesauce in, and apparently you loved it. We are going to slowly introduce you to other foods.
• You love to be tickled and you laugh and giggle lots when we do it.
• You love to put your hands in your mouth.
• You are grabbing at things and getting good grips on them. You got a hold of my nose last night and held it.
• You love grabbing at your feet!

• In the last month, your head control has improved majorly. You are able to play in the jumper now.
• You eat about 32 ounces of milk per day.
• You are in Size 2 diapers.
• You are in 6 month clothes.
• The other day you reached from me to your Hamaw because you wanted to go to her. And then you reached right back to me.
• You still smile with your whole mouth open wide and it’s precious.
• You have a little buddy at school that you like to jump with in the mornings, and you like to talk to each other. It’s so cute.

Tonight we gave you a bath for the first time in the kitchen sink. You loved it and gave me a great shot of your big open mouth smile! :)You are such a joy, Reed! It is just as much fun watching you reach milestones as it was to watch your sister. We are so glad to have you as part of our family and are excited to see what else is in store for you, sweet boy!
