Five Months

Tommy turned five months on the 27th. Are we already almost to six months?  Here are some cute shots to capture him at this age:

 Ok so the first one is not so cute, but truth be told, this little guy cries A LOT - especially in the evenings.  He is very gassy and is teething too, so it has been a rough month with lots of tears and grumps......from Tommy and Mommy!

 Sleeping angel boy - we wish his schedule was more regular.  He sometimes sleeps through the night, other times wakes 2-4 time during the night.

 Loving solid foods!

 Still rolling and wiggling and scooting.  He can get across a room without crawling.  It is impressive.

 Sweet, sweet boy - looking almost totally bald on top.  But blessed with gorgeous eyelashes.

 Smiles for the camera!  We love that his cheeks are filling out.

Sitting up and feeling proud of himself.  We just propped him up, he's not really sitting up yet. But he can balance himself this way for a while if a sister doesn't come and knock him over.

He loves when his sisters sing and dance for him.  He loves to look at books and finger the pages.  EVERYTHING goes in his mouth.  He is taking one to two bottles a day and cereal once a day at dinnertime.  He likes to drink water from a cup and suck on icecubes.  His favorite activities are pat-a-cake and horsey rides.  He wants to be held all the time - and we must stand or walk while holding him.  Gripe water is his drug of choice and he gets at least one dose a day to help with gas.  He is wearing size six month clothes - but he is too skinny for the pants.  We have so much fun with him when he's happy and he tolerates a lot of attention from his sisters.  His big brown eyes draw in people everywhere.  Here's hoping we can conquer the gas bubbles and help him feel better all the time.
