No check-up this month, so I'm not sure how big he is, but our bathroom scale says he's around 18lbs. He's started tasting some "real" food (a.k.a. real baby food) and one day he likes something, the next day he doesn't. He likes oatmeal consistently. Really likes bananas and avocados in the mesh feeder we have. He seemed to like green beans, and apples make his face pucker. He is ALWAYS reaching for what mommy & daddy are eating/drinking and is an absolute hoot!
The most impressive thing about my 5 month old is he's sitting up all by himself! He started doing it around Christmas, and is a champ at it now! He can't bring himself to sitting yet, unless he's already at an incline, but he'll sit up in his Pack'n'Play and play for a good while!
OH! And Elijah now has a tooth!! His bottom left tooth poked through a few days ago. Probably explains why he's been SO fussy today! But it's adorable. :)
This isn't going to be a long blog...the husband got me sick and I've felt like death all day :-/ Fingers crossed it doesn't hit Elijah, or that it doesn't affect him like it has us! I hate being sick. :(
This is from a couple days before Christmas. He was being so cute!!
Not too different from last month. But you can definitely see growth! Especially in his legs in the picture below!
LOVE him! He makes so so so many goofy expressions. :))
He is so stinkin' cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon, mommy.
