5 months - my favorite age yet!

Wells is the most precious 5-month old. He has grown by leaps and bounds, rolled over and discovered his little voice. He is a chatter box!

Since our 4 month visit we have gained 3 pounds and are a bruiser. Wellsy weighs a whopping 17 pounds and is a bundle of pure joy!

My mom always said 5 months was one of her favorite ages, and now I know why. He has become such a little person with so much zest and energy that is contagious.












At 5 months he is:

- 17 pounds
- Wearing 12 month clothing (we skipped 6 - 9 month clothing almost completely)
- Eating about 8 - 12 ounces per feeding
- Sleeping through the night, but loves to wake up at 5 a.m. and snuggle with mama and daddy!
- Rolling over
- Working real hard to sit up by himself
- Talking up a storm (must get that from his mama)
- Beginning to venture into solids, even though he does not swallow much yet.
- Beginning to grow a little hair
- Loves to smile all the time
- The only things that make him fussy is hunger and sleepiness
- Loves to watch his daddy
- Teething to beat the band and about to cut his first tooth
Buddy - Mama and Daddy are so proud of you and love you more than words can explain!
