5 Month Old Little Boy

About Stetson at 5 months:

• His little personality is coming out more and more.
• He loves to sqeal, laugh, coo, fake cough, and screech
• He has started reaching for his toys when they are placed in front of him and loves to swat at the ones that are on his swing. And is trying to figure how to grab on to them.
• He loves to sit in his bouncer and kick the dangling fish although he doesn't get to sit in it much since we are still trying to keep him off his head as much as possible while he is awake.
• He has started taking a bottle again, which is nice if Brett and I ever want to go on a date, and will even take formula sometimes, BUT we haven't found one that doesn't upset his stomach yet, good thing nursing is still going good.
• He's in 9 month clothes
• He is still so easy going and such a joy to hold and be around. We just love his chubbiness!
• He STILL wakes up once or twice a night, but just to eat and goes right back to sleep.

5 Months

Today our little pumpkin is 5 months old!

Dear Brooklyn:

We can't believe we have had you in our family for 5 months now. It seems like yesterday that we brought you home from the hospital (I know we keep saying that, but it's so true.) You are getting to be so fun as you are learning to grab your toys and toes and hands (you love to eat your hands) and mom and daddy's faces. Your starting to put anything you can get a hold of in your mouth. You love to kick your legs...you like laying on your tummy more even though it always pushes a burp (and sometimes spit up) out...you rolled over on your own once, but can't quite seem to get the momentum to do it again. You are a very good sleeper, you go to bed around 7 and wake up around 7:30 or 8, and right now if you always had it your way you'd be up for only an hour and then down for a nap. We wish we had more time during the day to play with you, but mommy is enjoying being able to still get things done while you are napping. Your little world is getting a little bigger now, we moved to a new house and have gone on a few walks in our new neighborhood and you love them! You love playing with your Grandma and Grandpa and Papa and Nana, they've even gotten you to laugh a few times. Your daddy and I feel so blessed to have you as our daughter and we thank our Heavenly Father for you everyday.

We love you sweet cheeks!!
