I can't believe it's already been five months since you were born. You've been through so much in such a short time and I am so proud of your strength. We have been home a little over a month and you are making so much progress.
You currently weigh 5.935 kilograms (just over 13 pounds) and are 25 inches long. You are in the 5th% for growth.
You used to hate "tummy time" but you are tolerating it much better now and you hold your head up to look around. You are trying to figure out how to crawl and get so angry when you can't pull your legs up under your body. You are sitting up, with support, and have great head control. You are rolling from your back to your tummy, and we have to put positioners in your crib at night or you'll roll into the corner and then get really mad. You are teething, so we call you a "drool monster." I can see a little white spot on your bottom gum and you chew on your hands constantly. You have a really good bite, too! Trust me, I know from experience :)
You are amazed by your hands and fingers and go cross-eyed when you hold them out in front of your face. You can reach out and grasp toys, and they immediately go into your mouth. You have the most contageous giggle and your smile lights up a room. You laugh when Daddy whispers in your ears and are very ticklish. You squeal with delight when we do silly things--you especially like to see Mommy shake her hair and dance around. When you are in your crib you kick your legs back and forth for hours and we say you are "riding your bicycle." I think you're going to be an Olympic swimmer the way you move those arms and legs! Lucy loves to lick your feet and your face and you giggle when she does it, which provokes her to lick you even more. Lucy loves you so much and follows you around the house. I think you two are going to be the best buds when you get a little older.
That's your 5 month update!
We love you!
