5th month

Levi, I know I say this all the time, but you are so stinkin' cute! We love you so much. You are becoming more interactive and more and more fun every day. You love to observe this crazy house. I often wonder what goes on in your mind. You had your 1st overnight out of our house (once in a hotel, once in a cabin). The first time you did great. The second...not so much (but you were getting sick). Your eyes are light grey /light blue. You think your cereal is just ok. You eat well every 3-4hrs during the day. You love it when I smother you with kisses. You are trying to roll from back to belly. You go to bed around 7pm and get up 1-2 times at night. You love to sit and hang with Dad. You LOVE to be sitting in someone's lap...you haven't figured out yet that you are the 3rd kid. You are awake much more during the day.

You are such a happy guy! I love to see your smile. You give your smiles to your family to easily and melt all of our  hearts. 

You have crazy hair. You always have these hairs in the back that stand straight up. Love it!

 You went swimming for the first time. You were unimpressed.

 You love your sisters so much and they bring smiles to your face like no one else.

You love your toys and touching all of the buttons. You like to sit in your exersaucer. You like to try and crawl towards your ball. You are always reaching for something. You like to pull the music on your bouncy seat. You like to be up high in your high chair to watch all the action in our busy house. You love to watch your mobile in your crib. You are chewing on everything and we catch you trying to suck your thumb.

This month ended up tough for you. You had a respiratory virus that you handled fairly well. Nothing lots of cuddling, your monkey pacifier, more cuddling, Tylenol and albuterol breathing treatments couldn't fix. You wanted held so you could sleep and breathe (this way your secretions could drain out) and for just overall comfort. You stayed home from daycare for one week. You lost your appetite. You were a good sport...not too much fussiness, you just wanted held. Stupid bad flu season! The only good part...lots of cuddling with this cute little guy!
