5 months old!

Its true, the first year is flying by. What little E has been up to...

He sporadically will roll from his belly to back but is still not consistently doing it.
He is trying really hard to figure out the back to belly but may still be a few weeks away. I seriously don't give him enough belly time.
He has mastered his walker. He goes forward, backward, can get out of jams and cruises pretty fast. It definitely is his preferred play place. Is he too young for a walker? Maybe, but he sure loves it which means less fussing for us.
He is using his hands really well. He is starting to grab at our food when we eat. Luckily we are starting rice cereal in a couple weeks. I think he will be more than ready.
He is making all sorts of noises and sounds. When we read a book to him or sing to him he studies our mouths very closely and gets his mouth moving. It seems he wants to be saying more but can't quite figure it out.
He still is a champ when it comes to going to baseball games and out to eat. Good thing cause Eric and I cannot stop doing either of those things :)
He eats 5 times/day. He doesn't eat a ton which semi stresses me out but he is healthy so I'm trying not to focus on it.
He is not the best napper but is the best night sleeper. Goes down between 8:30 and 9 and sleeps to between 6:45 and 7:30.

Here is his picture next to Mickey. He is really starting to get some length.

Grandpa Bob made this adorable frog chair for him. So, so cute!





We sure love our little guy!
