5 Months Old!

Overall "stats" for our handsome man seemed to have stayed pretty much the same since Jack's 4 month checkup...I got on the scale with him this morning and that showed him at ~15.5lbs and measuring his length, he seemed to be the same at 26.5".  He's getting better at smiling for the camera, meaning he doesn't just have a blank stare as soon as the black object is in front of his face :) 


Current happenings:
Jack is still eating 6 times a day, the exact timing depends on when he wakes up & his naps.  He still sleeps from about 9pm - 6:30am (except on the weekends where he consistently wakes up at 5:15am)
He will still allow us to go out to restaurants where he cooperates nicely & looks around at all of the new surroundings & action.  We'll always put him in cute outfits before our family date nights but more often than not, he doesn't leave his seat!  (Luckily for now :))
He rolled over this past weekend from belly to back:
 He also enjoyed his exersaucer for the first time this past weekend:

We consider ourselves pretty lucky with this little guy...he is still sleeping through the night, hasn't yet had his first fever and is overall a very happy & easy going baby. We love hearing that precious giggle and will do pretty much anything it takes to provoke it...including silly dance moves (Mommy only for this one), songs, funny faces, noises. The cliche saying of "time flies" has never felt more real until watching your first born grow. He hasn't become mobile to the point where snuggling is a thing of the past YET. I love holding him at the end of every day, feeling his perfect little breath on my neck and his little chubby hands on my shoulders. Our worlds totally revolve around this little guy in every way, logistically but certainly emotionally & spiritually as well. We are smitten.
