I can't believe it. Baby G is going to be 5 months old this week. He is the sweetest baby. He loves to smile. He is a 20 lb chunk and 25 inches long. He was in the 95% on weight but only in the 25% on length. He is like a little tea pot "short and stout."
It is as if we get to be part of an experiment. Each day George learns something new. He will find a new sound and roll it around in his mouth a few days. Then he will find another new sound. He is constantly adding new noises to his vocabulary.
We are still not sleeping through the night, but when I go in to get him each night and he smiles at me when I go to pick him up it makes the lack of sleep well worth it. I realize it will not be like this forever, so I really don't mind.
Making George giggle has become a fun game for daddy and mommy. Each attempt it is something different. One time it might be belly zerberts, the next time it might be a game of peek-a-boo.
Cereal is now a daily addition to George's diet. He has taken to it pretty well. I'm going to add cereal with banana tomorrow. I can't wait to see how that goes. He doesn't really think of it as nourishment yet. It is more like another game.
I was always scared of small babies, but I love kids. If babyhood is this much fun, I can't WAIT for the rest of it!
