5 Months

Well, my little man Johnny is sure growing up fast now. He’s 5 months and 1 week old tomorrow. I love watching him learn new things and grow as a person, and love learning more each day about who he is. How can so much personality fit into such a small bundle? Priceless smiles that show true happiness. He’s so outgoing, interested in everybody he sees and loves to watch and interact with people. Chatters away like a little story teller, especially at bath time, our favourite time of day. Always got something important to say with his cute little baby voice, I could sit and listen all day. Daddy is his favourite person in the world, and he gets the biggest smiles. I love watching them play together.

Exploring his body parts is what he’s into at the moment. Always got his legs up in the air or foot in mouth. And he’s starting to be on the move a bit. Not yet crawling, but somehow wriggles from one side of the room to the other. He’s started having 3 meals a day now too and loving it. Breastfeeding is phased out and bottles are in, which means a lot more effort in preparing to go out anywhere. But we will get the hang of it. We got him a sipper cup too which he so far is doing well with holding by himself. He gives himself bottles also with the handles attached. So much independence already, but it’s good that my hands aren’t as tied up. Found a little tooth starting to cut through too, which is a bit surprising since he hasn’t showed much pain. Loves chewing on the frozen icy bite teether though. We had a great Christmas, our first one with Johnny. Was wonderful to see his excitement with all the new toys, even if he doesn’t know what it’s all about.
