Jaden is 5 Months


I'm a little behind on my update. :)
Things Jaden is up to these days:
  • He's mobile. He's trying his best to crawl but for right now...he scoots on his back or belly to get places.
  • He's rolling. He can roll from back to belly and from belly to back.
  • He's giving kisses. I LOVE this. He will grab your face and open mouth kiss you on the cheek.
  • He's giving hugs. He will grab you around the neck and squeeze.
  • He knows who he wants to go to. He reaches for people.
  • He gets sad when you say "bye bye". 
  • He is starting to hold his bottle a lot better. This morning he held it most of the time.
  • He's trying to sit up on his own. You have to keep your hands out to spot him.
  • He's blowing bubbles. That's his new thing within the last week. Messy fun.
  • He loves peaches and most fruit, sweet peas, and sweet potatoes.
  • Starting on a sippy cup. He chews on it more than sucks
  • Still nursing him but he's starting to bite...which is not fun at all
  • He's very social. He likes being around people and is not afraid of new faces. He likes to know what's going on.
  • He's about to grow out of his 3 to 6 month clothes. He can wear 6 month easily
  • Size 2 diapers
  • He's tall and solid...not really fluffy with baby fat although his thighs certainly are chubby
  • He's hyper and likes to punch and kick his toys that hang, over and over. 
  • When Jeff and I have been gone all day and we see him in the afternoon, he gets the biggest smile on his face.
  • He studies everything...he will stare and concentrate on something new or his toys. He looks at them and moves them back and forth to look at them more than he plays. He analyses everything.
