5 Months!

The 5 month milestone has come and gone, but I am just now getting a chance to reflect on it.  Partially because Caden still resits sleep, not leaving a lot of time to get tasks such as these done.  He is weighing in at 17 lbs 12oz.  I haven't had a chance to get his length yet, as the pictures will show, this boy is on the move.  He is still on breast milk only, but studies Brad and I as we eat with forks and spoons - I think that he is ready for something new!  His hand eye coordination is just about perfected, as he can grab at objects and pick them up at ease - even getting a handful of cat hair a time or two (poor Bogey!).  He is getting stronger core muscles and sits pretty well without support, although he hasn't gotten into that position on his own yet.  He has mastered the crawling position and is starting to experiment with movement - sometimes rocking, somethings lunging.  As we say around here, he has become so mobile that he is "not trusted".  You can place him on the floor, but within seconds he will have re-positioned himself and scooted over to explore something new.  By the next post I would  imagine we'll have a crawler!

He still loves to play with his feet.

WHEE!!!!!

First Swim

In the bouncer - still a favorite

Crawling position assumed...

Cat targeted and successfully reached (poor Bogey!)
