Little Baby Smith: Happy 5 Months Henry!

Happy 5 months Henry!!

He's thinned out alot this month I think.

Weight: Not exactly sure but I put him on the scale with me the other day and the difference was about 17lbs. Whoa buddy.

Length: No idea (he gets shots at 6 months so we will find out then.

Clothes: He is in 6-9mo stuff now but still fits his 3-6mo stuff if it's shorts or shirts because he is so skinny.

Likes: "standing up" while we hold him, the pool or bath, cereal and eating, his caterpillar toy, "O-ball" and whale toy. and most of all...HUGS! He will grab your face or neck and pull himself into you and put his nose against yours or his face into the crook of your neck. It's the sweetest thing!

He loves his daddy so much.

He is lovin his new dinosaur that G&G Smith got him.

Dislikes: Being hungry, avacado, when the ~~feeding trough~~ food bowl is empty, dirty pants and that's about it. He is such a good baby.

Sleeping: He still goes to bed around 9-10pm and sleeps until 5am every single night. He takes a nap in the morning for a few hours and another one (usually with momma before I work) from 1-4 each afternoon and then a little catnap after he eats around 5pm.

Eating: We started cereal this month. It's hilarious to watch him eat it because he is obsessed with it. He tries to shoved the spoon in himself and get so excited when he sees me mixing it in his bowl and gets put in his bumbo seat. We tried avacado as his first food other than cereal and he HATES it. He gags every time he tries a bite of it and spits it out. I have tried it three times and ruled out an allergy and we will try it again later when his palate is a little more "advanced". I think our next veggie is green beans. He is otherwise still on breastmilk 100%, nursing or by bottle when I'm gone.

Look at all that hair!!

This bib= God send. It saves me so much laundry time, rinses clean, covers well and catches drips.

Playing: He is getting more and more into his toys, playing with them, looking at them, trying to eat them. We took a few to the pool today and he liked watching the water dump out of his cups and splashing his ball into the water.

Other Milestones: Outside of starting pureed food he is just trying to sit up soooo hard. He will lift and hold his sholders and head off of any surface for a long time and tries to do a sit up basically. He will sit but he usually tips to the side fairly quickly or folds in half forward. It's just a matter of time before he is off to college....wait...what?
