Nathan, Nathan, Nathan...5 Months!

Wow! Time flies with #2! Nate is now 5 months old. And, oh, how we love him. My good sleeper has turned a new leaf. He is now waking up not once, but twice in the night wanting to be fed. Is he going through a growth spurt? Is it because of his sickness? I have no answers. All I can say is that I miss my good sleeper and I want him back!

He weighs about 15 1/2 pounds (give or take). The only reason I know this is because of the many times I've been to the doctor this past week. Yuck. Nate's cold turned into bronchiolitis (better known as RSV). He's slowly getting better. Poor little guy. The cough is nasty!

Nate is grabbing and "eating" everything. Josh said, "Nate is eating my hand!" and then started to cry. I said, "He's not eating it...he's kissing it!" and that made him feel better. LOL. He also is recognizing his name and turning towards us when talk. He is working on sitting up. He can hold himself up for about, uh, 3 seconds before tumbling forward or sideways. He's not a roller yet although Josh and I encourage him everyday. He has started to scoot backwards while reaching for objects just out of his reach. I think I'm going to start him on rice cereal this month.

I love this age.

He has the most engaging eyes...sometimes I think he's a girl because he's so pretty!

This guy is a thumb sucker. He never did take to a binky!

Joshy was reading this book with Nathan...precious moment.

Handsome, chubby thing.

He was so engaged with these fake flowers!
