5 Months

Jacob is 5 months old!!!!!  The biggest changes have come in the last few weeks.  He wakes up so HAPPY!  Jacob is all smiles in the early morning and babbles up a storm.  Laughing is common and very contagious.  Rolling over from back to belly has been perfected and occurs within 5 seconds of being laid down.  Gone are the days of laying Jacob on kitchen counters, but the play mat has gotten a whole lot of use.  He is mesmerized by the crib mobile and likes to hear its music which Brandon has dubbed "changing music".  Lastly, we are grabbing for everything!

He also loves to work his abs by lifting his legs in the air. Oftentimes, Jacob lifts those legs and drops them with all his might into the mattress. Of course the wrestling arena sound wakes him right up.  We've also noticed his toes are wet at times......hmmmmm.

Our baby is now definitely in size 3 and almost into size 4 diapers.

The convertible car seats have been purchased and are awaiting installation.  We are getting dangerously close to the 22 lb weight limit of the baby seat.....a weigh in will confirm this.  Of course we never thought this would happen so soon! 

Jacob's days are filled with babcia and they have a great routine.  They spend their days outside, eating, napping, playing and of course eating and napping.  Those naps are not to be messed with.  Our boy needs his sleep and goes to bed about 8PM.  He still wakes up a few times per night and makes a few peeps because he knows mom or dad will save him from the crib.  Many nights he likes to sleep as close to me as possible without crawling into my skin.
Oh and he is very much like his daddy in that he also plays well alone (but only in the mornings).  Evenings are reserved for being held.
We tried on a hat and some sunglasses and of course took baths.  Who knew it would be so fun!

Jacob is not too sure about this whole hat wearing thing....

He changed his mind....
