happy 5 months, miles!

another month has gone by...

5 month stats: he was 15lbs, 3oz at his doctor visit on december 31st - he did have clothes and a diaper on, so not completely accurate, but it will work for now!

some of the things he is doing:

1. he found his new favorite toys - his hands and feet! he absolutely loves to chew on his hands (or anyone else's for that matter!) and he will grab his feet when he is laying down. he just looks so cute grabbing at his chubby little toes.

2. "talking" like crazy! he loves to make noises all the time. he chats to his toys, the ceiling fan, his brother...anyone who will listen. he makes screechy sounds and also this one that almost sounds like a bird call.

3. we are getting ready to start him on rice cereal. we got the okay from the pediatrician at his 4 month visit, so in the next few weeks, we'll give it a try. he is most definitely interested in food when we are eating, so i think he is more than ready for it.

4. is in love with his big brother! he gets so excited when ethan comes around. he watches him and just plain thinks he is great. ethan can do just about anything and it will make him smile. for now, at least, ethan is just as excited about his younger brother.

5. he's still working on rolling over. he is so, so close. it is just that one arm that gets in the way. i bet he'll have it down soon though.
