5 Months!

 Some things we want to remember about Parks at 5 months:

- 16.2 lbs. according to my scale. 38th %. We have just started feeding him rice cereal.

- He is so quick to smile and often doubles over in his joy.

- I have been thinking his sleeping at night wasn't so great, and then last night he went to bed at 8:30 and didn't wake up this morning until 7. He had gone 12 1/2 hours between feedings. I'm guessing it was just a fluke, but hoping I am wrong.

- I know for sure that he isn't so great at naps. For the last couple weeks he has been taking 45 minute naps, every single nap time. I am so frustrated about it. I have been letting him cry it out, but he is pretty relentless. I really need him to take better naps.

- He loves rides in the stroller.

- He has rolled over a few different times from back to front and from front to back, but he isn't doing it really consistently. He doesn't seem to care about it very much, but I assume he'll start to really get the hang of it soon enough.

- He is a fan of the bumbo and the bouncer.

- He is definitely noticing when I walk away from him, and sometimes it is just not ok with him at all.

- He's gotten tougher from all the wrestling he does with Darcy and Ezra and he handles it pretty well for the most part now. They love him to pieces and he smiles so big when they come and talk to him.
After I took these I was looking at them and thought they looked really familiar. I looked back through old pictures and realized he had work this outfit when we took pictures at three months. I didn't realize he was still fitting in something he wore at three months. That seems crazy to me.


 I just can't get enough of the smiling pictures.
