5 months old

Happy 5 Month Birthday Cole!

You're inching ever so close to half a year old. Highlights this month:

• We started you on solid foods. So far you've had acorn squash, sweet potatoes, rice cereal, oatmeal cereal, pears, applesauce and butternut squash. You seem to like everything we've given you with acorn squash being your favorite.
• You got your first ear infection and have been kinda fussy ever since. We're going to take you back to the doctor because we're not convinced it is gone.
• You're still trying to roll over. You're getting soooo close but not quite there yet.
• You've discovered your feet and love playing with your toes and putting them in your mouth.
• Lately, you want to be held all the time. We think it might be related to not feeling good. The girls at school definitely spoil you as you're quite the snuggler!
• We celebrated your first Thanksgiving. We are very thankful for you.
• We upgraded your bathing accomodations to the rubber ducky tub as you are too big for the plastic baby tub now.
• We started you in cloth diapers at night and on weekends. It's Mommy's new fun thing and your bum looks so cute in cloth!
• You're sitting up pretty well with support and do well in the Bumbo chair.
• You have started trying to stand up and can put weight on your legs for quite a while.
• You & Eli are turning into silly brothers. He loves to entertain you and make you laugh. I love watching it!
