I'm Five Months Old!!!!

When I think about how he is already 5 months old the first thing that runs through my head is "I CAN NOT BE-LIEVE IT" in my best Little Einsteins Quincy voice.  For those of you who do not watch Little Einsteins then you wont understand haha.  Liam loves to watch TV, especially if it is Disney.  Mickey Mouse, Little Einsteins and Doc McStuffins seem to be our favorites so far.  I am loving this stage right now.  He is becoming more and more giggly and smiley.  He is trying so hard to roll over.  He seems to only do it when I am not around.  Like in his crib.  He goes to sleep on his belly but wakes up on his back.  I can put him on his belly for tummy time and he just wont roll over for me.  He is such a lazy baby.

 This month we have accomplished so much.  We have started solid food and found our feet as you have seen in the previous blogs.  We have also moved up into 3-6 month clothes finally!  He is working on sitting up by himself.  He will actually sit in his bumbo for more that 5 seconds now.  He is making more noises now too.  He has started making raspberries.  It is hilarious.  He will do it and spit will go everywhere and he closes his eyes like it scares him!  We get so much entertainment out of that.

 He is still sleeping in his crib and sleeping through the night, which I am so thankful for.  I have had to supplement with formula a few times because I am just not making enough milk.  I am producing, but only the minimum.  So I have to cut some of his breastmilk bottles with an ounce or two of formula.  I hate that I have to do that because my goal was to not use any at all.  But I also have to make sure that he is eating enough so I have to stop being selfish and just break down and use formula.  I haven't had to buy any just yet, I am still using samples.  I haven't had to do it much this week because the solid food seems to fill him up and he only drinks about half a bottle afterwards.  Which leaves me with more milk to use the next day.  It is all working out and he is a happy baby so that is all that matters.  Work has been well ... work.  I am so thankful for our family.  I do not know what I would do without them.  I am so fortunate to have them to watch him while I am at work.  Ryan's schedule has changed to where he is off on Sundays and Mondays now so I have had to rearrange my schedule at work so that we can have some time together also.

Elizabeth Brown, my first college roommate and good friend, came home from Washington D.C. and we met up and ate at Camino. Just like old times!

We spend at least one day a week at our best friend Landon's house.  He has lots of toys to play with.  They like to go on walks together.  He even has some chickens too!

Our baby is growing up so fast!  We love watching all the new things you do!  We will always love you little monkey!!
