5 Months Old!

Drake is 5 months old!! It is crazy how fast time has gone. Ben and I both agree that we have seen more changes in Drake between 4-5 months than any other time so far. We are so enjoying every single second with our little man. Here is what Drake is into at 5 months:

• He loves to touch anything he can get his hands on, especially Skinner's fur
• He started eating baby food! He loves rice cereal, oatmeal, squash, sweet potatoes, carrots, applesauce, and bananas but HATES peas :)
• We are working on drinking out of a sippy cup. He drinks water out of it every morning when he takes his medicine
• Drakie loves to play! Christmas came just in time as we really needed some toys for our little guy to play with
• He is full of smiles and giggles and they melt our heart every time
• He still takes 4-5 short (1/2 hour-hour) naps each day
• We are working on him not sleeping with a pacifier as he looses it and wakes up multiple times a night wanting it back, once we get that figured out he should be sleeping through the night as he rarely gets up to eat anymore
• He just started sitting up for a few minutes at a time yesterday
• He is a mommas boy and holds a special place in his heart for his papa
• He has been hanging out in his jumperoo a lot more and really is starting to get the hang of it and like it
• He LOVES LOVES LOVES his Praise Baby DVD. It is a 1/2 hour long and he usually watches it once a day, although I think he would watch it much more if momma let him
• He is wearing all 6 month clothes

Drakie,
Thank you for such a fun and memorable month. You have such a personality now!! Your Daddy and I love watching you grow and change.Keep those smiles and giggles coming as they make our day every time we see one! We love you so much little man!
