5 Months Old

Grayson is 5 months old and it's time for another update!

It's officially fall!

I can't believe this time last year, I was announcing that I was pregnant.  

This year has flown by!

I feel like there’s been so much that he’s doing that’s new this month.   
He's eating solids now.  
It has been so much fun to see his reaction to new foods and watch him learn the new skill of eating with a spoon.  
So far carrotts, bananas, and avocados go down just fine with no problem.  
Sweet potatoes, spinach, and squash bring on montezuma's revenge.  :(

Another fun development this month is that Grayson is rolling around so much now! 
His strength has always amazed me. 
This month, he is flipping from back to front and front to back like a champ!

I had to pack up his swaddler, or straight jacket as some call it.  I loved that thing.  

Our once-an-awesome-sleeper has been waking up at 4am for an entire week.  
He is so hungry.  So I don't know if it was a growth spurt or what.  
I'm hoping that it's all over and we can go back to normal.  Mama needs her sleep too!  
We were so used to good sleep since he was 5 weeks old.  

I bought Grayson this awesome walker.  I was so excited for him to try it out.  
He could really take it or leave it.  He gets frustrated when he ends up walking backwards.  
He really prefers his bouncer or kick-n-play piano still.

We don't have another dr. appointment until he is 6 months so I don't know his exact stats, but he has grown SOOOO much this month.  
Most of the clothes he wears are 12-18 months.  
We measured him at home and he's around 26 lbs and 28 inches.  
Crazy big.  
He's starting to look like a toddler now.  

He rode in the front of the shopping cart for the first time this month.  

Do other moms get excited and take pics like this?!?

I love this arm propped up in this pic.  He's just chillin'.

As I'm writing this, I can see his that his first tooth came through.  
His FIRST TOOTH!  Oh my gosh! My little baby is growing up so fast!  
I tried to get an up-close pic, but he was NOT having that.  

He is finding his voice!  He makes the funniest sounds now.

Can you tell I'm a proud mama?  

I love you lil G!
