Five Months....

Getting so good at sitting up!


HAHA! Love the face!

Scott is five months old! What a fun little guy he is! He is such a happy baby! He is getting to be super social and he is such a big flirt...loves smiling at the ladies!!! He is definitely trying to exert his independence, when we give him bites of food he wants to hold the spoon, he wants to crawl so bad and always wants to sit up by himself but he hasn't quite mastered that one yet. We never quite mastered bottle feeding so now we have graduated to a sippy cup and Scott is starting to get the hang of it (see above for the desire to hold things by oneself!). He can roll all over the place and scoot and turn in circles. I've already posted pictures of him pushing himself up to hands and knees...he gets better at it everyday and while I cheer him on I am secretly sad that he is going to be a crawler soon! Scott still loves chewing on all his toys and tasting everything. So far we have given him tastes of pureed cauliflower and pureed zucchini, up next probably avocado and carrots! Scott still enjoys stroller time every morning while I run or walk and I am so thankful that this is a good time for him so I am able to get a bit of a workout in. We fill the rest of our days going to the park, getting in the pool, going to visit friends, running errands (Scott is a pro at trader joe's and target), in the evenings we sometimes go for another walk with Daddy and Charlie and then play in the living room and read books until bedtime...on really special nights (slash HOT nights) we go in the pool before bed (sometimes this counts as Scott's "bath", bad parenting?). Now that Scott is getting older we can't wait to take him to experience even more things...we are thinking of the zoo and the aquarium one of these days soon! We just love our five month old!!!
