5 mo

Baby boy is 5 mo old, he is getting to be the little ham these days. We don't see the doctor until 6 mo, but my best guess puts him at 18 lbs, growing like a weed.


Latest triumphs/likes:
He has both bottom teeth in, and is still teething. 
He is obsessed with his feet and is always eating them.
Solid foods. We started with avocado on his 5 mo birthday, I was going to wait until 6 mo for food, but he was so interested. He immediately grabbed the spoon and shoved it in his mouth. I guess he's ready :)
He can roll off his belly, but has shown little desire / attempt at rolling from his back. This is mostly because he refuses to be put down... ever.
He still sleeps in the rocker, generally from 8:30 - 5, at which point he wakes up and goes in the swing until 6:30. 

Current dislikes:
Being out of line of sight. If he can't see anyone he immediately freaks out and starts screaming hysterically. 
As long as he is being held, he's gotten to be a pretty happy baby. But all bets are off if you put him down.
He still won't nurse, but has increased his bottle size from 4 oz to 6-8 each feeding. And even though he won't nurse, he also will not drink formula... picky panda.

Loving the avocado. Or the spoon. Probably the spoon, but he ate a good amount of the food as well.

Sporting Pumpkins old hat on the one "chilly" day so far (70).

Enjoying the park while big sis has the time of her life.
