At 5 months:
1. Rolls front to back effortlessly. Changing his diapers has become challenging.
2. Giggles and laughs at anything that makes a sound.
3. If you smile at him, he ALWAYS smiles back at you.
4. He figured out how to put his whole fist in his mouth and anything else he can grab. Now he’s working on shoving both hands at the same time.
5. Breast-fed & formula fed (def. prefers breast over bottle); when I bottle feed him instead of nursing, he always fusses in the beginning but he doesn’t complain when someone else feeds him bottles. hmmm…it’s like he can smell me.
6. Can sit still for 5 seconds by himself before he growls and twists his body out of his chair
7. Sleeps through the night (from 6:30 p.m. to 5 a.m. Yes, I’m back to waking up at 5 a.m. )
8. Definitely ready for solid food. He immitates eating when he sees us eat.
9. He stares, quite intensely, memorizing faces, especially mine.:)
10. Loves music. He also tries to sing along when he hears vocals.
12. Takes catnaps at home, but in his stroller outside he can sleep for hours at a time.
13. He’s very chatty, especially in the morning.
14. When you put your hand out to him, he reached in and places his hands on yours wanting to be held.
15. He’s only gotten hit by his sister twice. The first time was by mistake and the second time was on purpose when Chloe was trying to watch Dora, the explorer show. Shane was sitting at arms length from Chloe making gaga noises, so without hestitation she lightly hit him to shut him up. Honestly it didn’t seem like it hurt that much but he whaled and cried very sadly. I think his feelings were hurt.
16: … He’s Mr. Haewon (says Andrew)
