Kieran! Happy 5 months a little bit late:) You are still nursing like a champ approximately 7 times a day. You get up once a night to nurse, but over Christmas vacation it was more. We all four slept in the same room so Mom would feed you even if you stirred as not to wake everyone up. Then you got in that habit very quickly, but we are back to once a night.
You take about 4 mini naps a day for 30-40 minutes just like your sister did. Now when did those naps start getting longer??? I can't remember:) You wear size 3-6/6 month size clothes. I'm not sure what you weigh, but I'm guessing 15 or 16 lbs. You are starting to get little rolls on your legs, arms, ankles, and wrists. We will try cereal a few times this month and see how you do. Mom got out the high chair and washed it down. We'll start solids "for real" next month....wow, where has the time gone?

You are SO SO very smiley. We just smirk at you and you get a huge grin like below. You love to grab our neck and face when we hold you and snuggle in close. Your sister makes you smile too. You like to watch her bouncing around the room. Speaking of bouncing you can now stand in your bouncer and you love it, especially the lights. You do amazing on your tummy and can push yourself up onto your hands, roll both ways, and on your back you bridge like a wrestler. Everyone comments on how strong you are. You love to sleep on your tummy. We will put you down in your crib and you let out one loud whimper and flip yourself over and you are out! Speaking of LOUD, you are very loud and screech and scream with delight so loud that it hurts our ears at times.
You still love your bath and instantly relax, kick, and blow raspberries. Do you see the photo below...yep, you found your feet this past month and you are always pulling off your socks and sticking those toes in your mouth. You also love to chew on toys, put your hands in your mouth, and suck on your paci. With all of the drooling you do you'd think a tooth would be on the way, but it could all be just normal baby stuff:)
We traveled to North Dakota for Christmas and you would go to anyone and everyone and always with a smile. You continue to be an easy going and laid back baby. We love you to pieces and we can't wait for opportunities to pick you up and hold you close. At times we think you can hear and others we just aren't sure. We are praying that whatever the outcome for your hearing (appt. on the 8th) we just pray that God protects you from any danger this might cause you and that you have a happy and healthy life. God created you in his image and you are perfectly formed. We love you little guy!
