5 months...say what?!

5 months ago today... this sweet little babe was born....

A few recent tidbits about Brady...

LOVES rice cereal (just started this).   It's so fun to feed him- he opens his mouth wide open when the spoon comes close.  The first 2-3 tries he wasn't a big fan but he sure is now! 

We've had to "graduate" Brady from the Bumbo to the high chair already.  He twists and wiggles right out of the Bumbo now!  Bummer, because it's such a great perch for him to sit in on the carpet while the kids play around him.... not anymore!

 Brady's really into his Baby Einstein play gym thingy (what do you call it??!).  Lucas and Sophie love to rearrange the hanging toys for him.

Oh yes, and notice he's not on the mat anymore?  He rolls over and over and over...and shimies his way here and there... I walk away and come back and he's 4-5 feet from where I left him.  Silly guy.

 ...and he's getting up on his knees and toes.  Of course we all know what this means... crawling is most likely in his very near future.  Lucas was an early crawler too so this doesn't surprise me at all.  Time to start hiding all the Lego pieces and marbles!!  (NOT quite ready for this stage personally...but so very thankful he's a healthy and growing baby boy!)

 Look Mom...no hands!  (he does this a lot)

 Brady also loves lifting his feet up and sucking on his toes... it's hilarious and absolutely adorable!!!

 Brady has also "graduated" to the bottom of the pack-n-play (still in our room) because he was getting close to the weight limit and getting up on his knees more.  He now takes most of his naps there as well.  Nights are getting better for sure, but there are still some rough nights here and there.  Typically we'll have him down for bed by 9... he wakes a few times throughout the night but a paci puts him right back to sleep.  I nurse him around 6-ish (when Daddy is getting ready for school)... and he'll go back to sleep until 8:30-ish.

Oh boy... I just realized my next update post Brady will be half a year old?!  I really can't believe that's possible.  Lovin' this sweet little guy to pieces.  It is such a blessing to be home right now soaking it all in.
