Five Months Old

Jack turns 5 months old today. He's such a big boy now and has reached several milestones just in time for this "birthday." He just figured out rolling over yesterday and can go both ways easily. He doesn't mind being on his tummy nearly so much anymore but he much prefers to be in his exer-saucer and can play for quite long periods of time in it.



Now that his reflux is finally under control (he went on Prevacid this weekend), we tried a little bit of rice cereal. He did very well with the spoon and actually swallowed a lot of the cereal, despite the funny faces! Oh and he got a tooth last Friday! His first, on the bottom. It's too cute!




He still LOVES swimming and bathtime, and is settling into a decent nap routine ("Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child" by Marc Weisbluth has helped tremendously...thanks Jana and Katie!). He sleeps 7 pm to 8 am with one 4 am feeding and is eating much more now that he doesn't have the reflux to contend with. He still weighs a little too little for my liking (13.9 lbs) but certainly feels heavier and is growing out of clothes again.

We just love him to bits and his sweet smiles and 'talking' are pure delight. Happy 5 month birthday Little Boy!
