5 Months Old!

Well Briggsy boy, we made it to 5 months. I cannot believe you are that old. You are SO not a baby any more, which makes Mommy very sad. You sit up on your own; you roll EVERYWHERE and put everything in your mouth. You have cut your bottom 2 teeth and they are starting to stick up. You LOVE to stand on your feet, you love to crawl, yes, I said it, crawl. It’s unreal. You absolutely 100% without a doubt love love love your sister Ella. You smile the biggest and laugh the loudest when she’s around. You belly laugh more than any person I know. You get sooo fussy when you are tired and can’t fall asleep. You have a really hard time falling asleep. You love peas and carrots and green beans and didn’t even flinch when we tried them a couple of days ago for the first time. You loved the swimming pool and didn’t even make a funny face when we got into the coooolllld water. You love your swing that Daddy put up outside for you this weekend. You seriously spent an hour in there last night. You like to be a part of the action whether it’s at our kitchen table, the TV or at 5:15 this morning when Daddy was getting ready for work. You love your mommy the most. You follow me with your eyes everywhere I go. You hear my voice and perk up, as long as you can see me, you’re the happiest. You love Daddy a lot too, but you love your mommy. You love eating your feet and playing with toys including your binkies! You love to put paper in your mouth or cheerios, depending on what you can get to quicker. You love to have your mouth open. Every once and awhile we will see you close your mouth so you can try and blow bubbles, but for the most part, your mouth is open ALL.OF.THE.TIME. It’s hilarious. Briggsy boy, you make our days happy and our nights full of joy. We love sitting at the table as a family. Ella in her big girl chair, Briggs in the highchair, and mommy and daddy in between. And you know what? You love it to. LOVE it. You love all of us to be in the same place laughing and smiling. We’re so excited that you’re a part of our family and so amazed at all you can do already. You’re an amazing little boy! We love you more than words can express!
