Five Months Today

Wow, really??? Five months??? Hard to imagine.

So what did Graham's fifth month bring:

• solid foods: Rice cereal, prunes, and carrots to be exact. And throw in a little apple juice to clean the pipes.
• travel: We stayed with Great Aunt Jane and Uncle Joe in Columbia, MD. He was adored my many!
• pushing up and sitting up (with some help, of course)
• moving around: Rolling from front to back and vice versa. I did find him on the hard wood floor the other day. Not sure how that happened, but he does scootch himself around on his back quite well.
• sticking out his tongue: You know, the cute baby way and not the obnoxious 10 year old way. It seems he has to have it out all the time now.
• laughing: The funniest words and sounds make him laugh. The first two words to make him laugh were butt and poop - what a little stinker!
• standing on laps: He doesn't really like to sit. It's only fun when it means that he can stand right back up again. Sometimes he gets mad because he can't get higher than his toes, so he stretches up and screeches. I think he's learning how to jump. Been meaning to work out those flappy arms anyway!
