Baby Jake- 5 months

Baby Jake turned 5 months old last week- the very beginning of last week, but still last week! Wow, another month gone by. While the 4th month seemed to slow down compared to his first 3, I'd have to say month 5 picked back up. My sweet baby boy is growing so fast. Jakie-poo, here's all about you:

• You have rolled from back to belly now and while you don't roll over all the time (your brother was like this too), you are rolling more often.
• Sometimes your talking borders on screaming....like I'll hear you from another room and think you might be upset only to find you talking to yourself in a mirror or a toy of some kind. I think you get this from your sister. Maggie speaks to you in a very high pitched voice- I think it's her attempt at baby talk :)
• Not much has changed on the chewing front- you still suck or chew on your hands, fingers, binky and of course most everything you touch goes straight to your mouth
• You got those feet to your mouth this month! Amazing how flexible we are as babies
• You're able to get your binky back in your mouth now...but not every time. You still sometimes get upset when you pull the binky out and try to put it back in backwards
• You're a champ eating your cereal and have enjoyed all the veggies so far. Peas seem to be your favorite- family trait I think, both your siblings were this way- and you're finicky with applesauce. You started with rice cereal of course, but this month I'm giving oatmeal cereal a try and I think it's going a little better
• Since you love being up and looking around, you still get time in your swing and the Bumbo. We also got the bouncy out this month and you like it too but so far not for very long periods. 

As always, Jake, you are my sweet, sweet, snuggly baby boy. I love that you love interaction and being a part of the family. Only sometimes you want to be held at inopportune times. But that's life. And I so enjoy being your mommy. Love you!
