Five Months


Age: 5 months
Height: 26 inches (unofficially)
Weight: 19 pounds 8 ounces (unofficially)

I am amazed each month when I sit down to brag blog about what Isaac has been doing the past month. He is learning so quickly. I'm going to wake up one day and out of nowhere he will be all grown up.

Isaac can roll over now. He is semi-mobile. He rolls around over and over and over... I laugh a little when I come back to find him six feet from where I left him. I won't be laughing soon when he is getting into things and terrorizing the dogs. Which will be very soon. Isaac recently got up on his hands and knees. At first he would just roll back over. But now he gets up on his hands and knees and starts to rock back and forth. He can't sit up yet though. So maybe soon.

Sleeping is 100% back to normal, just in time for the eastern time zone to mess it up again (Isaac and are headed back to visit the kiddos).

He can hold his own bottle! This makes life a bit easier. It takes him forever to finish a bottle though. He likes to play with it. Pop it in, pop it out. He tries to see if he can drink it on his side. Or maybe on his stomach. Maybe I should try some sippy cups. When are you supposed to start doing that?

He is a champ at solids! Loves everything I give him. Especially peas!

Isaac likes things now. Anything. His hands and mouth act like positive and negative magnets. He takes a quick peak at what he has found and then he decides to see how it tastes. He loves his Sophie Giraffe. He likes to make her squeak now. Then there is Mr. Froggy. I often find poor Mr. Froggy depantsed. And... if you decide that Isaac has something he shouldn't, he gets very mad when you take it away.

I can already tell that he is going to be a stubborn child. Which should be no surprise to anyone.

His eyes seem to have stopped changing. When he was born they were a dark slate blue kind of color. Now they are a lighter brown with a bit of a green undertone. His hair is a different story though. It was dark like mine when he was born. And everyday, I swear, it is getting lighter. Ever seen a naturally blonde mexican? I've seen one... But he doesn't look mexican.

So. Shall we take bets for next month? Who thinks he'll be sitting up and who thinks he will be crawling?
