Five Months...

Henry Ryan.... you are five months old!  

This has been such a fun month and your personality is really shining.  You love to smile and coo when people talk to you and you are generally very happy.  You are growing so much and weigh 16 lbs, 5 oz and are 26 inches long.  You are in the 50th percentile for weight and 60th percentile for length.   You fit into some 3-6 month clothes but mostly are wearing 6 month and even some 9 month outfits.  You are in size 2 diapers but only because I need to finish what we have left.  You will always be my baby but every time I see a picture of you I can't help but think what a big boy you are becoming!  

You are eating 6 ounces every 3-4 hours and we have just started you on rice cereal.   I received the green light from your pediatrician to give you veggies and fruits so we are about to venture into this new experience. 

You love to be outside and enjoy looking at everything around you.  We try to get out every evening for a walk and you love wearing your cool shades.  

We have dipped your toes in my parents pool a few times and I can't wait for the water to warm up so we can go for our first swim this summer.  

You are sleeping through the night and we are SO thankful for that!  We start your bedtime routine between 7:30 and 8 and give you a bath before your bottle.  You love your bath time and always have the cutest smiles.    

You have recently discovered your toes and love to have your feet up high in the air while holding on to them. You are still not rolling over but you are so close!  

You are really enjoying time on your tummy and love to squeal and laugh.

You are really starting to grab for things and love to put them in your mouth.  Whenever you are napping or hanging out on the floor you want to have something in your hands.  Your latest favorite is your new bunny but a soft lovey will also do the trick.

Looking forward to what this next month has to hold!

Happy five months Henry!
