5 Months Old

Eli is 5 months old today. It seems like he has been here for much longer. He seemed to do a lot of growing this month. Here is what he has been up to:

- He has two new teeth.

- He discovered his toes and we have found him munching on them a time or two.

- He likes to sit on the couch and play with his toys.
- He has lost most of the hair he was born with and is growing new hair which looks like mine.
- He has discovered how to scream and likes to do it often. Not crying, but "talking."
- He still smiles all the time and has a cute giggle.
- A just started taking food. So far, just a little banana.
- He constantly munches on his hands (and our fingers if he'll let him) and drools a lot.

- He hasn't been sleeping well lately, but we hope that will change soon.
- Other than a current cold, he has been very healthy.
- Although he is 20 pounds and is a bit chunky big boned, he still fits into six month size clothes.
- He just started doing raspberries and gets really messy.
- He still isn't rolling over (with that belly it will take more time to figure out!), but he seems to try to be crawling when he is on his belly.

- He loves to be outside and go places.
- He grabs our hair all day long and makes me wish I was brave enough to shave my head.

Can't wait to see what new things this next month brings.
