On the 19th of August Xander turned 5 months old. Wow, how time flies!
He is still such a tender little heart. He's such a good baby! He's been a little bit sick this week with a cold, so that has thrown him off a bit. With a cold he sleeps much better in his swing because he's propped up and can breath better, but normally he sleeps like a little champ in his crib.
Some things that mommy wants to remember about you at this age:
-You still think it's funny to get your bum wiped
-You still only go poop once a week, on average
-You pass THE STINKIEST gas EVER!!! HOLY MOSES!
-You try to roll over. I know you CAN do it, you just still love laying on your back and looking around.
-You've rolled from stomach to back a few times, but each time, I've missed it. One minute you are on your tummy, and the next time I look you are on your back! One of these times I'll actually see you do it!
-You love Mama's milk and won't drink formula. You are also a pill about taking a bottle for me. Anyone else? No problem. Secretly I LOVE it! I'm glad you prefer me the most! I love that you turn your head and try to eat my shirt when I try to give you a bottle. From day one you have been an awesome little nurser and I have loved everything about it.
-You laugh and giggle alot now and it's the most contagious sound. You especially giggle alot when daddy kisses your neck because his whiskers tickle you.
-You love grabbing anything in sight and are becoming more coordinated with the objects you grab. -You love holding and chewing on all your little teethers and toys.
-You are still a pro at constantly taking your binky out, but then get mad because someone took your binky out!
-You just might be a shy little guy. We went to some wedding receptions and anyone who talked to you made you cry and cry! I think all the new and unfamiliar faces were scary to you.
-You tried rice cereal for the first time 2 weeks ago and have grown to love it.
-You still love to be on your changing table and kick your chubby legs
-You grin at me every time I approach you, and whimper if I walk away without picking you up. Of course I always give in. How can I resist that?
-You've found your voice and love to make it heard. You chatter it up, especially in the car.
-You still love to sleep, and sleep long hours in the night and during nap time. (Thank you!!!)
We love you to pieces little chubba wubba!

Love this post. I need to come over and hold that little tiger, he's too precious Jill, don't let him grow up.
Ya know its funny, I have felt bad ever since I took them that pictures went so rough the day I took Xander's newborns. I just felt that I didn't capture things the way I wanted and such. But, seeing a couple pictures on your blog from that day almost made me teary. Three sweet kids and memories of what he looked like at just a week old. Maybe things didn't go perfect but I am glad we got a few:)
