5 Months Old!

I was exactly 5 months old when this photo was taken!  (Hey Aunt T - check out the shirt!).  Trying to think back this past month to see what I have learned and discovered.  Hmmm...I find my right hand so interesting.  I often hold it out (as if admiring finger nail polish), wiggle my fingers or rotate my hand and just stare.  You might catch me doing this many times a day.  A few times I have caught my momma coming in to check on me, thinking I was asleep, only to find me facinated with my hand!  I have also found the volume on my voice.  I can talk loudly and shout.  What fun it is to make all kinds of different sounds!  Momma prefers they be happy sounds though, as I have a tendency to make intentional loud screams when I am not happy and want my way...but hey, who doesn't?  I'm getting bigger by the moment.  I am approaching the end of my pumpkin seat days.  I wear 9mo/6-12 months although some are getting a little snug.  Momma is hoping to hold out until the weather changes before updating my wardrobe - she has several 12 months spring/summer clothes from cousin Jacob.  I tried eating some solid foods and giving soy formula a try but I showed signs of either intolerance (soy, wheat) or a hard time digesting (squash).  She is going to wait until after my 6 mo growth spurt to try again.  I have mastered the jumpy-jump station and the walker in stationary position.  I enjoy the vertical position, playing with my toys.  I HATE being on my tummy and am still working on the ability to sit unattended.  I do like being on my back where I can kick and stretch.  I have also discovered how to roll to my side...so close to rolling over on my tummy!  But by far my favorite thing is to be NAKED!  Momma says that I will love summer when I won't have to wear so many covering clothes.  Catch up with you next month...I have to go and get discovering all the new things awaiting me!
