5 Months

Jimmer was 5 months old on December 28th and he is changing so much. When I took him to the doctor on Tuesday he weighed in at 18 lbs 13 oz and 29 inches long. Some fun things about our little man...

• He loves his hands and other people's hands. He's always got them shoved in his mouth and quite frequently gags himself on his hands.
• He sticks his tongue out all the time...almost looks like he's trying to touch his nose with it.
• He likes to suck on his bottom lip.
• Before he got sick he was sleeping so well...not so much anymore.
• He likes to get his hands on anything that he can...especially daddy's pop.
• He started eating rice cereal and really likes it, but I'm just not sure that his tummy agrees with it.
• He's found his feet and is always grabbing for them.
• He loves his big sister. Is starting to notice when she's here or not.
• His new favorite toy is his rainforest jumperoo. He likes to be in it, but he also likes when people are watching him in it. He's not too happy if I put him in it and leave the room.
• He still loves to watch football with his daddy. Stares very intently at the screen...soaking it all in!
• He's happier when going into his car seat. He used to freak out all the time, but not so much anymore. He also loves going for car rides. We've got a mirror on the back of his seat and he loves to look at himself in the mirror.
• He hates getting dressed or undressed. I think that it might be because he doesn't have access to his hands for a split second.
• He loves to go shopping. I think it's because he loves staring at the lights and likes looking at all the people.
• He loves his baths. That's time that he and daddy get to spend together. He kicks and splashes and likes when his ears are under the water. When he's out of the bath, all wrapped up in his towel, he gets the biggest grin on his face when he sees himself in the mirror.
