5 Months!

I know every mom says this but seriously, where does the time go? I can’t believe Tyler is already 5 months old. He is so happy and content much of the day. His sweet face and smile have been my sunshine. He is so easy going and he’s a perfect fit for our little family!  He has become pretty attached to me though. If Matt’s holding him and I walk by, he will follow me with his eyes and then start whimpering. I love that he loves me to hold him, but I want him to be happy with other people too. I’ll enjoy it now though. Before I know it he’ll be whining to get out of my arms!
Some things he is doing right now:

• October 30th he finally rolled over from back to belly on the bed! Yay!
• He now eats about every 4 hours and sleeps about 5 sometimes 6 hours at night. He does sleep by me though. This will probably change when I move him to the crib :( He also takes about 3 decent naps a day. Usually something will wake him up during one nap, whether a loud noise or having gas. He isn’t really fussy afterwards but he doesn’t fall back asleep either.
• When he’s on his belly he’s pushing up on both hands.
• He doesn’t mind tummy time if he isn’t hungry or tired.
• He methodically grasps anything he sees now. I really have to watch my dinner plate at the table!
• He loves peek-a-boo
• He pivots on his belly now going almost 360 degrees.
• He is drooling ALL the time, and will gnaw on your fingers! (no teeth though) Tommy already had his first tooth at this age and I’m liking the no teeth yet! 
• I think he’s close to being ready for rice cereal but I ‘m putting it off while we’re in the hotel
• He will grab your face with both hands and pull it down to eat you!
• He has also put both arms around my neck for a ‘hug’
• He thinks it’s hilarious if he grabs my hair and I tug back on it
• He’s working on sitting up. He will prop himself up with his hands on the ground and if I can get him to look up, he’ll usually raise his back and sit up for a few seconds….but then he falls backwards.
• He has started ‘grrrrr’ ing like a bear. It’s so funny and cute. 
• He also loves to watch his brother playTommy will tell him all about his toys and what they’re doing.
