It seems like we just finished writing your four month post, but here again ... another month has passed so quickly. While it is hard to believe you are one month older, you really look it! You seemed to have a major growth spurt in the last 2 weeks and the ever increasing pile of clothes that no longer fit prove it.
The best way to describe this last month would be to say this has been the month you found your voice. Sure you have been "talking" to us for awhile but lately you have seemed to be fascinated by the sound of your own voice. You are also experimenting all the things your voice can do. You grunt, giggle, and make noises we have no idea how to describe. You also love working on that upper register of yours and let out high pitched screams that just delight you. By far your sweetest sound is the sigh you give while you are eating or when you are falling asleep in our arms.
You are a man on the move now. While you can't crawl yet, you are trying so hard. You will get on your stomach and pull yourself on the floor with all your might. You might start the night in the middle of the crib but wake up in any corner or off to either side. You also roll all the time, mainly from your back to your stomach. We watch you on the video monitor when you are asleep in your crib and you turn on your side and stomach all the time. We can't really blame you as your mom is a side sleeper as well.
Because you are sitting up more now, we play with lots and lots of toys. You are still obsessed with any and all fabrics, especially if they can go in your mouth. You are such a happy baby. You really do treat the world as your playground and we are ok with that. It is so much fun to expose you to new things and watch your reaction. Your dad still gets the biggest laughs from you, especially when he walks in the door at the end of the day. Your face lights up and you smile from ear to ear, it is amazing to watch.
While it is hard for us at times to watch you grow up so quickly, it is also just so much fun. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Love, Mommy and Daddy
Trying so hard to crawl!
