Fast Five Months

Today, Dax is FIVE MONTHS OLD!!

While it seems that he's always been with us, I still can't believe he is already five months old...

I'm still loving everything about being a mom and can't believe how easy-going of a baby I'm lucky enough to have!

He:

-puts himself to sleep every night (after a story and a good cuddle) and has just barely started to get a little fussy, due to the fact that he is teething.

-can sit without support fairly well, although he still needs supervision for when he gets a little too excited and topples over or head dives forward.

-is able to stand up from sitting using all of his leg strength and only my index fingers for support

-can easily roll over any direction (from stomach or back) and uses this as a method of traveling across the floor

-has recently discovered his toes and is obsessed with grabbing and holding onto them, he

loves to curl up in a little ball and try to get them into his mouth

-enjoys being in his jumper more than anything and is a master at maneuvering it!

-is obsessed with sucking his thumb, and only sucks on the left one now causing some to believe he will be left-handed

-has the most contagious laugh ever and the greatest sense of humor to accompany it

-is super ticklish, especially on his chubby thighs, stoma

ch, and armpits

-can get up on his knees, while on his stomach, and push forward allowing him to scoot across the large blankets that we lay out for him and onto the carpet (which can be too nice of a feeling on his face, which he uses as support)

-is kind of my most favorite thing in the whole wide world

It's also only nine days until the wedding! And my Bell's Palsy is gone! While nothing much will change in our day-to-day routine, it'll be nice to be considered an official/legal family!
