5 months

Alex is 5 months today. I'm amazed every day at how much he is changing. He's starting to laugh some, talk more, and make lots of funny faces. He loves to stick his tongue out at me and then give me a big smile. I think he may be a little ornery when he gets older!

I have him on a great routine. Every evening when we get home I play with him for awhile, then we do bath time (which he likes now), and then feeding. He loves his baby food! He gets so excited when I put him in the high chair. His arms and legs start flailing and he has big smiles. He makes funny sounds and sometimes sticks his tongue out at me. It's so cute. He's doing very well eating off the spoon now. He's quite demanding and smacks his little hand on the tray if I don't keep up with him. Little stinker. After feeding I take him for a walk and then rock him to sleep. He does great at night. He wakes up once around 3 to 4 am wanting his pacifier and then goes right back to sleep. I no longer keep the monitor in my room. It made weird sounds anyways and made me feel like I was in the movie Signs...lol.

Alex has such a calm demeanor about him. He's very happy and cuddly. I am so thankful that he is mine and I look forward to all the fun times we will have together.
