Watch Me Grow - 5 Months

Ok on to 5 Months:

Stats: 15 lbs 2 oz, 26 in long
Development:
-Began reaching out my hands to be picked up;
-Holding and drinking from a sippy cup;
-Found my thumb (I like bending it back and forth--it's so amusing!);
-I love playing w/ my parent's toothbrushes and trying to get them in my mouth (along w/ many other things:-);
Fun Facts & Other Interesting Firsts:
-I had my first fall of the bed (my mommy fell asleep (and she thought I did too, but I didn't--needless to say I found the floor. BUT I was fine...woke mommy up very quickly. It was a short fall and I was fine...just wanted to scare the heck out her. Daddy wasn't too happy, but he's just glad he wasn't the first person to let me fall (he got his chance a few weeks later when I fell again).

Here's me and Daddy laughing together. He's so silly!!

-Got my first cold--my mommy was so sad. It was just before my first flight. We flew to Dallas and did a whirlwind trip to San Antonio and Arkansas to see so many of my relatives and play aunts & uncles/friends. Mommy & Daddy were so proud of me. I did great on my 1st and 2nd flight (flew to San Antonio the day after landing in Dallas). Boy they had me on the go. They should be happy that I maintained good social composure while meeting and traveling to see so many different people while dealing w/ my first cold!

-Also my Mommy started back to work part-time on the day I turned 5 months. Can you believe her...the nerve she has to leave me on my 5-month b-day. Ok so she was only gone 4 hours! I guess it was cool!
