5 Months

The child continues to grow and develop and we are still enamored with him


He's hard core.

Hence the board shorts and rash gaurd.


Things of note about his 5th month:
  • He started to sit up on his own about 2 weeks ago. He's still a little wobbly and 'timbers' from time to time but for the most part can hold his own.
  • He can move in his Bumbo seat. He pushes off with one foot to get across whatever surface he is on to retrieve the desired object. No more Bumbo on the counter/table.
  • He's not really into naps, unfortunately. I think it's because he doesn't want to miss anything. Some days he'll take 2 or 3 20 minute cat naps. I (and my babysitter) love the days where he goes a whole hour or two. Luckily he doesn't get cranky from lack of sleep
  • He loves being in the water. Yay for summer and pools and beaches!
  • He's started scooting around on his belly.
  • He's very flexible(I know all babies are) and eats his feet
  • He has started to grab hair-it's not cool. Farewell to my cute dangly earings for a few months
  • He loves textures and toys
  • Can almost hold his bottle
  • Ever since our trips to Sacramento he hates being put in his car seat. When he is strapped in he squirms, arches, and flails until we pick up the seat. Then he is OK.
  • He is overall a friendly and happy boy

I wanted to snap a picture of him sitting up. This was the best I got before my camera battery died.

I wish you could hear the sound he is making in the picture. How I love my little grunter.

He still loves music. Don't feel bad if your child is not as oh what's the word...advanced. We got him a special pacifier to help with his embouchure.


The fam on the fourth.

We watched fireworks with our friends, The Calders, on the baseball field at Rec Park. Great seats and great company. Cohen was not a fan of the fireworks for the first 15 seconds then decided he was over them and fell asleep. I don't blame him. El Segundo puts on a good show but we/I am from Disneyland country and no one does fireworks better than Disney. (I say we because I believe that being from Disney-heim is a physical trait that Cohen inherited from me)

My sweet boy

Logan was the same way with the naps! But, I think around 8 or 9 months, when he changed to the one nap a day, he started sleeping for a pretty consistent two hours.

Can we talk about the fact that there is not a single ounce of Tullis in that boy? It's like you did it with your brother or something.
