5 Months

Holy-tol-ido!! I have no clue how to spell that?! But, that is the first word that comes to mind when I think about Hunter already being 5 months old. Feb. 13 marks his 5 month birthday!! I am embracing each day and each smile with him...as life seems to be zipping by!

Hunter update:
  • Rolls from tummy to back...not so much back to tummy
  • Bears weight on his legs and "stands" for a long time
  • Sleeps 11-12 hours straight a night....unbelievable and totally appreciated;)
  • Still needs 3 naps (morning, lunch and late afternoon)
  • Breastfeeding 5 times a day (will probably start experimenting with food in the next few weeks-           although, the thought of this overwhelms me for some reason!)
  • Magic green chair is still a fav!
  • Has the biggest smile (he gets compliments daily on his priceless smile)
  • Laughs and talks often and very loud
  • Can sit alone for only a short time
  • Still has very little hair
  • SO easy going and laid back
  • Independent (likes to be held and hugged but also needs to be left alone to entertain himself, gets agitated if held too long. This is both good and bad for mommy!)
  • Loves his big green pappy (pacifier)
  • Always has his hands/thumb in his mouth..in fact, he has gagged himself- he laughed!
  • Excels on his schedule...not always an easy job for me, but the payoff is huge!!
  • New fav noise is "gasping"...only when he's excited. So he does a lot of gasping when his friends are around!!
  • He thinks I am so funny;) He has many "belly laughs" daily! I love it!
  • Sleeps in sleep sack
  • Cries very little (but when he does, he can blow the doors open in our house- LOUD!)

Speaking of being loud...Scott and I call Hunter "Pipes" because his voice, cry and laugh are so much louder than his little body. I have called Scott "Peeps" for years because he is very soft spoken.Scott signed a card the other day..."love, Peeps and Pipes." They may look just alike, but their volume is one thing that is very different from eachother! Who are my Valentine's???....Peeps and Pipes! I love my boys, and we had fun making hand print Valentines card for daddy!
