5 months

** I apologize for the lack of pictures (I know that's why everyone comes on here!), but the blogger site is not cooperating! I've been trying for a few days with no luck. I promise the next set of block pictures will be up whenever it gets working again.**


Our sweet little boy isn't so little anymore! He's almost a whole half-year old!!

Not only did this last month include his first Christmas, Evan also had some major milestones. He of course has started eating solids and is now up to three meals a day (fruit in the morning, rice or oatmeal cereal at lunch and a vegetable at dinner). He has liked everything we've given him, except avocado and zucchini. We plan to try them again this week to see if we can get his palate on board with those flavors.

He also is rolling all over the place! This weekend he rolled from the middle of our living room to the wall within seconds. I know this because it occured as I quickly ran into the next room to get a cup of coffee. Thankfully flopping around on the wood floors didn't seem to phase him!

Thanks to the solids he's sleeping a lot better. We're not through the night quite yet, but he usually goes at least 8 hours and has done up to 10 1/2.

He starting to be even more vocal. He has found the "high-pitched" part of his vocal range. That's a fun noise!

He does really well playing. He grabs things well, transfers toys between hands, love to be read books (and hold them). He loves to bounce and jump. He can also roll to get toys that he wants. We haven't seen any scooting or crawling yet, but he looks like he's trying to figure out how to do it.

He continues to grow and grow, especially now that he's eating solids. He starting wearing 6-9 month clothes already, mostly for the length, but a little bit for the tummy area too. :)
