5 months

I seriously cannot believe that 5 months ago I was in the hospital giving birth to my little Brady. Time has flown by so quickly! He changes so much every day and I feel like he is growing so fast too. I realized how heavy he was the other day when I was laying down and he was standing on my belly. He is a chunker and probably close to like 16 pounds now!

He has learned so many fun things in the past month and I have been a slacker not to come on and post about them more often. I don't want to forget these fun stages :] 

Brady is so close to rolling over! He will arch his back and flip his legs over to the side, but his arm always gets stuck underneath so he will never roll completely. It makes changing his diaper pretty interesting sometimes!

He has been sick a few times the past month and had his first ear infection :[ I felt like a terrible mom!! That definitely threw off his sleeping schedule... or what we had going at least. We also went out of town for a weekend and those trips are always killers on a baby's schedule. Luckily this past week he has been sleeping better. And for the past 3 nights I have been laying him down awake and letting him put himself to sleep and it is definitely not as bad as I thought it would be :] Hopefully he will be sleeping all the way through the night soon! (I probably have a million pictures of him sleeping. I just can't help myself! He is too cute!) Brady also loves his bath and his bedtime routine. I definitely think that having a schedule will help him to figure out this whole sleeping thing!

With Brady growing bigger, he is also getting stronger! We pulled out his play table this month and he has been loving it! He will sit in it for like 30 minutes and just play with all the toys while I fold laundry or clean the house :] We are also working on him sitting up on his own. He is getting really close, which makes me so happy! Hopefully in the next week or two we will have that down.

Probably one of my favorite "tricks" that Brady is learning is how to kiss. If we make a kissing sound and pucker our lips, he will lean in with his mouth wide open and then squint his eyes all cute :] He is going to be such a ladies man!! Him and Elise are already destined to be together haha

Another thing I'm really excited about starting is feeding Brady solids! He is so interested in everything we do at the table and everything we eat. The other day, we went out to dinner and Jordan got a celery stick with his wings. Brady was getting restless sitting on our laps so we gave him the celery to try and he LOVED it! It kept him entertained for like 45 minutes and he just sucked on it the whole time :] I hope this means he will be good about eating his veggies haha

I seriously cannot imagine my life without this little boy :] He makes me the happiest momma in the world and I love spending every day with him! Jordan and I are such lucky parents to have him as our son. I can't wait for all the fun adventures we will have with him :] Happy 5 months big guy.
