Josh - 5 months

Yesterday Josh turned 5 months old! This is such a fun age and I love watching him learn new things each day. He has recently found his toes and loves to grab them and play with them and put them in his mouth and slobber all over them! It's really cute (but hard to get a picture of - when he sees the camera he starts to smile and the toes come out). He still adores his big brother and loves to watch him. He makes lots of sounds and has started combining vowel-constanent sounds. He can roll from tummy to back and is so close to rolling from back to front. I think if he'd just kick his leg at the right time he'd have it. He can sit supported pretty well and is getting closer to independent sitting. He'll still slowly topple over or fold in half if you leave him propped for too long. He has beautiful blue eyes and it looks like his hair will be on the red side like mine. Unfortunately for him, that also means he got my fair skin. We both got sunburned this weekend at the park. (Nothing too bad, it's mostly just his cheeks and it's already starting to fade.) He nurses every 4 hours during the day and is sleeping all the way through the night! (He eats at 7:30pm and then goes to bed and doesn't have breakfast until 7:30am.) We haven't started any cereal or baby food yet, but will probably begin in the next couple of weeks. He has such a wonderful temperament and is such a joyful addition to our family! Now, how about some pictures of the cutest 5 month old I know!!
