Henry:: 5 months





This boy is just growing and growing over here. I've slacked a little bit on posting updates and pictures...mostly because we're too busy playing and having fun. 

At 5 months:

- he can't keep still. He wants to be everywhere at once. He's definitely getting really close to crawling...more so creeping, I guess you'd call it. He's been getting up on all fours for the past 2 weeks rocking back and forth. 
- He starting rolling over back to front just after 4 months and hasn't stopped since. - He can sit up, but isn't too sturdy yet. 

- he is such a social, smiling baby. Amelia was and still is much more serious. Henry  is constantly smiling and always wants to be around people. He loves watching Amelia's every move. 

- honestly, he's been a terrible sleeper the past month or so. I don't even want to talk about it. It was so good...and now it just sucks. I think we are reaching a turning point though...maybe. 

- at 4 months he was in the 90% for height! And I can't remember which % for weight, but it was definitely less then 15%. Long and skinny kid! Super surprising in the height, though, right?

- he's in the stick-everything-in-my-mouth-and-grab-and-rake-everything-towards-me phase. So it's been interesting trying to keep him occupied. 

- the best part of the day is waking up and seeing his big cheesy sleepy morning grin. He wakes up super happy and plays/practices his crawling moves in  his crib. 

- can't imagine our family without this little guy. Amelia loves him dearly too, which is pretty wonderful.
