I got to spend Sunday celebrating my great grandmom's birthday!!! I had so much fun showing off all my new tricks and I stole the show once again. I am so lucky to have all my great grandparents on my daddy's side and always enjoy seeing them! My great granddad gives me a dollar coin every time I see him - that adds up in my piggy bank!!

Enjoying Some Sunshine!!
Sitting Up
Reese is just about there with sitting up...which he is liking because he can play with his toys so much better now. We just got out all his 6 month toys that he got for Christmas and he is having the best time with all of them. Our house looks like toy land and even though I like a clean house I am getting used to what our house is going to look like for many years to come!!

First Veggie!
I know I said 2 post ago that I was going to wait a month to try veggies but I felt like Reese was ready. He is always staring at our plates and grabbing everything so we thought it was time...along with the fact that he hasn't been sleeping and I think it has a lot to do with him not getting full during the day! So...after a lot of reading I decided we would start with green beans. The internet said to go with greens because those aren't sweet and it will teach the baby to like their veggies too. John and I were ready with the camera and video camera because we were sure he would hate them and spit them out and it would be hilarious! Well...he loved them...ate every single bite! Reese loves his milk, cereal, and now his green beans! Big Daddy said he thinks Reese would eat dirt if we gave it to him because he has yet to not finish anything that we give him. I tried the green beans just because they looked so gross and I wanted to see what he was tasting...actually they weren't too bad. They really did taste like green beans just with no salt and mushed up...yummy! Reese will get green beans for the next 3 or 4 nights to make sure he doesn't have any allergies and then it will be on to the next veggie.

Why Reese Needs To Be Strapped In

I had Reese in his bouncer right next to me in the bathroom the other night while I relaxed in the bathtub before John got home. I kept looking at him and singing to him to keep him happy so I could just relax for a few minutes! I noticed how squirmy he was getting and was just seeing how far he would go - I looked away and looked back and this is the position he got in. Of course I didn't panic - I snapped a picture with my phone! I sat him up and he thought what he had done was so funny! Sorry Reese...now you will definitely always be strapped in!
After looking at this picture some more I noticed his bald spot on the back of his head has finally grown some hair in!!

5 Months Old
I know we say it every month but it definitely seems like this last month just flew by. Every month you change so much and start to do all sorts of new things. Here are a few of them...
-We talked about your coughing earlier this month - you are over that now because you have found out that you love to blow bubbles. You just sit there and constantly blow bubbles which leads to a whole lot of drool.
-You are very interested in all of your toys now. We got your Jeep Walker out and you play in it the longest (thanks Ben & Kristi). You crack us up because you move the steering wheel around and check your blind spots just like you are supposed to. It's so fun to watch you interact with all of these toys and try to figure them all out.
-You seem to have a little bit of a destructive side when you are playing with your toys. You are hilarious to watch because you bang everything that you can get your hands on.
-You have started to laugh out loud and we love to hear it. You love to hear me sing Hey Good Looking and Reese Reese Bo Beese Banana Fanna....and so on. Those two songs get you to laugh about every time but now you like me to be dancing and singing at the same time - that really gets you laughing. You also laugh when your daddy plays air plane with you - that cracks you up.
-You notice everything that goes on around you and will look around the room when you hear someone talking.
-I think I read somewhere that a baby knows their name around a year old - that can't be true. Your daddy yelled Bill the other night at you and you didn't turn around but when he called out Reese you looked for him. Smart baby!
-You still love your hands to be in your mouth at all times and try to get your feet in there when you get the chance.
-You are always waving your hands up and down to beat on our hands or our legs or whatever you can. We call you little mike (Mike Tyson) because you are always punching at the covers.
-Your sleeping habits have definitely digressed!!! You started out as the best sleeper but now you just get so squirmy and want to nurse. We have been saying maybe you are teething but I just think you don't like sleep anymore.
-In the past month you have slept a total of 1 hour in your bassinet...we are making progress! Ha! Eventually you are going to your crib little man but for now you just sleep with us.
-You absolutely love your cereal and get so excited for it - we are excited for you to try fruits and veggies next month!
Since this happened today I will throw this in there. We went to Sunday School and Church this morning and who forgot the diaper bag? Yup...I sure did. So you didn't get to go to the nursery with your friends you went with us because we had no blanket, diapers, milk, anything!! Thankfully we did have your paci! You did great during Sunday School and halfway through church but when the singing ended and the sermon began you got really tired and fussy! Lesson learned...I will not forget the diaper bag again!!
You amaze us everyday with how much you learn and just how fun you are to watch. We constantly tell each other that we never knew how much you could really love somebody. We can't wait to see what the next month has in store for you!
