My baby is 5 months old!
So 5 months is only 1 month short of 6 months!
And 6 months is half of a year!
Ok. I'm kind of making myself a little sick here.
Anyway, as I was saying...
My baby is 5 months old. Sigh!
This month has been extremely enjoyable!
I am catching up on my sleep since he still is sleeping 8-9 hours
every night and taking good naps during the day.
Another thing that has made this month so fun
is that our little man is always moving!
He loves to be on his tummy!
And he won't stay still in the tubby.
He straightens his legs and lifts his little bum
and would dunk himself if I let him.
Because of this, he is getting harder to bathe.
Luckily, I always have "help."
And he's a happy little duck.
He likes to do a move that his big brother did at this same age.
I like to call it "the baby burrito."
He grabs one end of the blanket he is lying on
and rolls while he holds onto it.
and voila, my baby burrito!
So cute!
Another fun move is the "Skydiver."
He lays on his belly and lifts up his hands and feet.
That move makes him happy!
Here are some more skydiving pictures that also show a new phase.
Reu Drools! A LOT!!
But he doesn't mind!
He's not just drooling though. He's chewing.
Chewing on fingers
Chewing on fists
Chewing on toys.
And even chewing on toes.
Caught in the act!
I know I'm his Momma so this probably sounds like bragging,
but Reuben is honestly the smiliest (is that a word?) baby ever!
Every now and then we will get an unpleasant face.
But personally I think his grumpy face is quite cute!
And it doesn't usually last long.
Pretty soon he's back to smiling!
He's got a little wild side.
And he makes some funny faces.
But mostly he just smiles.
Little smiles
Big smiles
And bigger smiles.
So naturally, we can't get enough of him!
Tuya loves him.
Sawyer loves him.
Daddy loves him.
and Momma loves him!
How could we not?!
