My Little Man is 5 months old and SO much fun! I'm so happy that it's summertime, school's out, and I have time to spend with my sweet little boy. He is growing and changing so much.... where do I begin??Andrew is beginning to sit up (with help) and rolled over for the first time yesterday. I'm so happy I was able to witness it. He was on his play gym, grabbed the mat, and pulled himself right on over. Then he just laid on his tummy like it was no big deal. =) He is also eating (and loving) solid foods now. He has eaten rice cereal, squash, green beans, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, and prunes so far, and he LOVES them all. He is his mother's child---he loves food. While eating, he often says "Mmmm" after a bite--so cute! He loves to "talk", yell, smile, and laugh. He is such a happy little boy. He can even smile in the midst of a cry.... too funny! He is grabbing for everything and even wants our food and drink (and gets upset when he can't have it).
He is still struggling some with his reflux; I will be so happy when that's gone. He is still taking Zantac for that, and it does help, which we are thankful for. The solid food seems to help alot with the spitting up.
One characteristic that I love about Andrew (one of many) is that he is SO observant. He loves to look around, watch people, watch TV, and take in his surroundings. He still loves the color red and isn't really scared of any noises.
He is getting to be mobile. Along with rolling over, he loves to kick and scoot all over the place. He has so much energy! The past two mornings he has cried from his crib because he got his leg caught in the railings. Time to get the bumpers out of storage and put them up. Luckily he is a great sleeper most nights (the pic above shows a happy little boy waking up), so I am thankful for that.
Andrew had his first weekend away from home (and even Mommy enjoyed it) with Edee and Pop. Jeremy and I took a day trip to Athens, relaxed, and enjoyed some much-needed couple time together. I missed him, but knew he was well taken care of.
I celebrated my first Mother's Day (with Andrew outside of the womb) and it was so special. The picture above is our little family on Mother's Day. So proud and thankful to be a Mommy to sweet Andrew.
Boo Boo (as I like to call him) is still a little cuddle bunny. He loves to be held and enjoys his nap time in someone's arms. He will sleep in his crib for a little while, but not very long. So we have some nap dates planned for this summer (that is when I catch up on my DVR shows). He also enjoys rocking with his Daddy in the rocking chair when he gets home from work. Jeremy cradles him in the crook of his arm and they watch Sports Center. =)
He weighs 14lbs 5oz right now and has the cutest, chubby thighs. I could just squeeze him and love on him all day long. =)
I am still amazed at how much joy and love he brings to our lives. What a blessing he is! Thank you for following along on his life's journey.....
