5 Month Milestones

Nolan is almost 5 months now. He's been growing like a weed. He was born weighing 7lbs 11oz and 20 1/4 inches long. Today he weighs 16lbs and is about 27 inches long. He loves to make gurgling noises, blow bubbles (or at least try), and laughs at Shelby whenever she walks around him. He's been sitting up on his own for about 5 seconds at a time, then he tumbles over! Sometimes he thinks it's a game, sometimes he's too tired to think it's a game. He can stand up on his own when holding onto something, again that only lasts about 5 seconds, but still not too bad. He loves to stuff everything in his mouth including his hands - a sign of teething soon to come. He also loves to stand up on your lap and laugh at you. He loves to talk and babble, in the middle of his continuous spitting. He has started pulling his legs up to his chest and he loves to hold on to his feet.

He's conquered most of the things a 5 month old should, including recognition of a bottle. Jeremy or I will warm it and as soon as he sees it his little mouth opens wide like a chirping bird. He grabs for it and tries to put it in his mouth, most of the time he puts it in his eye! What more can I say about him, he's getting so big so fast. I'll miss these times as he gets older, but will love the new things we will do together. Soon he'll be sitting up on his own, crawling and walking, these are things I can write about and look back and remember with a smile! For now I will enjoy the new things he does each day and love every second I spend with him.
