My 5 month old

I'll continue to say this, where is the time going?! How is it that I almost have a 6 month old?! How is it that I have fallen so deeply in love with this lil' human who can't do much more than show his gorgeous lil' smirk with those two lil' teefers or scream till his lungs are 'bout to burst :) But I do, I love him..OH how I love him SO!


So today marks the day where my baby is now 5 months.
His personality is pure perfection. I think he has more of my personality. He's so goofy. He's def. not a quiet baby like papa. Not one bit. He is a loud one like his mama.
He does have daddy's determintion ALL the way. He gets frustrated if he can't do something, even if it's the simpliest thing. He wants so bad to accomplish what ever he is doing.
He's become so sweet. He cradles his head on your shoulder when he gets sleepy and rubs your chest with his face so softly and sweet. That's one thing I love that he does.
He has NO patience. Still.
He is over in love with the puppers. He just loves squeezing their fur. And of course our sweet pups just let him.
He sits up so well now. Still needs a lil assistance cuz he wobbles to the sides. :) But he can officially sit in a cart. Thank you Lordy for that. And that's a REAL Amen to Lord. My arms were dying.
He is slowing down on his eating. It's now 3-3 1/2 hrs in between feeds. This gives mommy resting time and some time to do errands with out having to rush.
Mommy is starting to put Eli down more. He's not to fond of it. But we get through the day with a few outbursts demanding to be picked up.
He had his first try of food. I froze a "nana" as I call them and he gobbled it up in his mesh eater.
We tried Baby -led weaning, but he's not quite ready yet. So we will try again in a few weeks. I decided NOT to start off with cereal. I just see it as unessary calories.
He does the cutest thing with his voice lately. He does this really high pitch squeak. I love it. And when he talks he gives so much expression. Seriously this boy is ALL mine...

Eli your sleeping so well at nite. Last nite you didn't wake up once. And tonite I put you down around 630. Your an awesome sleeper in your crib. 

You take your paci every once in a while but your not a huge fan of it. You love sucking on you thumb..that's a winner.

You also blow the cutest bubbles. Its so adorable.

 

You're not to big on TV. It catches your attention for like a few mins if that and then your over it. You'd rather look around and find things to get into. (Is this a warning on how your gonna be-Mr.crazy) :)

Your in size 3 diapers but you got some legs on you, which mommy doesn't mind one bit. I love biting them. I think we are gonna have start goin up to size 4 soon.

You are slowing down though on your growth. You have managed to stick to 12 month clothing this past 2 months. Makes mama sad, I love shopping for you :)

Recently we have been searching for a walker...You are always wanting to sit up or just be on the go, so I'm hoping with the walker and jumper we'll be set.

Still NO hair. Buddy what happened you were born with a mop of a head and now it's just peach fuz. C'mon hair! :)

Buddy you definitely know who mama and daddy are. In fact when you see us together I can tell it makes you happy. 

You have this new obsession of touching faces. It's honestly the sweetest thing.

I'm trying to sign you up for swim classes. You are my lil' fishy in the bathtub, so I know you'll love the pool.

Gosh Eli... Life would be SO boring without you in it. Thanks buddy for having me as your mama!
