5 months

Sawyer Blake turned 5 months old on the 20th!

My sweet baby boy is getting so big!

Sawyer, you are such a fun, happy baby...even though these pictures may not show it. Ha! Lately, you have not been a big fan of the camera!

-You're wearing size 3-6 month clothing

-Size 2 diapers & we still prefer Pampers

-You're eating 8oz. of formula every 4 hours

-You are such a great sleeper! You still sleep all night long, waking up between 5 and 6 am for a bottle. After your morning bottle, I keep you in the bed with me to snuggle :)

-You LOVE eating. Everything has been homemade for you. So far you have had bananas, sweet potato, apples, & avocado. You haven't turned down any of the new foods & you haven't shown any allergies to them either which we are thankful for!

-You still act like you are teething because you drool constantly & shove anything you can get your hands on in your mouth, but you have not cut any teeth yet.

-You do lots & lots of talking

-Your giggle is the sweetest sound I've ever heard!

-You mock your daddy when he makes silly sounds & blows bubbles

-Just this week you finally rolled over from back to belly!! You usually hate being on your belly though after a few minutes & refuse to roll yourself back over so you just cry until someone helps you :)

-3 mornings this week I've woken up & found you on your belly in your bed...& its scared me to death every time!!

-You've started sucking on your bottom lip...a lot!

- You can hold your own bottle most of the time

-You reach out to grab the dogs when they get near you & you love to watch them play! Tess is not as scared of you as she used to be & Izzy would lick your face off if we let her! Ha!

-You're still sleeping in the play yard next to my bed.

-Bath time is still a favorite!

-I've been reading "I Love You More" & "Llama, Llama Nighty Nite" to you at bedtime. You really like looking at the pictures. We've also downloaded some children's books on the iPad we read to you as well.

-You like riding in your stroller when we go on walks.

-You make the funniest faces sometimes. I just know you are going to be a little ham.

-You can get quiet the little temper at times but for the most part you are sweet & silly :)

Baby boy, it makes me sad sometimes that it seems you are getting too big too fast. But, everyday you are doing something new or making new sounds & it is just such a joy to watch you change & grow. Your daddy & I love you SO SO much!!
