5 Months

My little guy is 5 months old! I can hardly believe it. So far, I think this stage is my favorite. He is so fun, so interested in everything. For the first time in his life, he's okay with being set down. I can lay him down on my bed with a few toys and he'll sit there and talk to himself and play with his toys, sometimes for up to 15 minutes! (It's amazing! I can actually get something done without having a baby in one arm at all times!) He giggles all the time now, he thinks peek-a-boo is hilarious and he LOVES to see himself in the mirror. He likes bathtime now and spends the whole time with his hands all over the faucet in the sink trying to figure it out.
He's still a tiny little guy, but he is growing. He just started fitting into his 3-6 months outfits (although he's been wearing them for awhile, we didn't bring any 0-3 size clothes down here for him. Now he actually fills them out a little). I put him in a new pair of jammies last night, my mom bought these for him at Christmas and he looked so so cute, I couldn't help but document it.
He makes us so happy every day! Not that life with a baby isn't frustrating at times- (I wish he'd sleep through the night so much, what can I say? I'm tired!) But his smile makes everything worth it. I love when I go in get him in the morning and he just smiles up at me! It melts my heart and makes me care less that it's 5:30 am and I didn't get more than 3 consecutive hours of sleep all night.
We sure love our little man!
