5 Months Old!

I cannot believe the last 5 months have passed so quickly! Oliver is getting so big already! Some of his tricks include:

  • Holding his head up when on his belly
  • Pushing his head up when laying on his back
  • Rolling over every once in a while
  • Eating from a spoon- He likes rice cereal, applesauce, sweet potatoes, squash, and carrots
  • Pulling up from laying down with help
  • Putting pressure on his legs when you're holding him
  • Grabbing for things... including his girlfriend Maci's hand (at the babysitter) and my hair
  • Turning his head when you call his name
  • Laughing back when you make a funny face or laugh at him
  • Copying you when you say the word, "Hi!" (Not sure if that qualifies as a first word or not...)
Good morning! I'm 5 months old today! 

Sitting up in Mom's spot where she feeds me is funny! 

Oliver holds his head up best when there is something to look at.
He loves his ball from Aunt Holly!

But sometimes holding his head up is just too much work.
After being worn out he looks at the ball from the side.

Isn't he a beautiful sleeping baby?
