5 Months

Our sweet Graham is 5 months!! Please slow down baby boy, you are making your mama sad!

We just took out the bouncer for G to play in and he sure loves it!

{This is a common face expression of Graham, those big eyes! and it's one of my favorites}

Since his four month birthday he has rolled over and started solids!! Such a big boy!

 "Hmmm what is this thing around my neck? I think I'll taste it."

Feeding Graham was hilarious. He was REALLY into the food (surprise surprise!) and kept leaning in toward the spoon so he could get to the food faster. We started with rice cereal mixed with some of my breast milk. He loved it! As he would eat he would make noises like "mmmmm, mmmm" and smack his lips together. It was so funny.

I love this picture! He's like, I'm all done mom! He's so sweet.

Owen wanted in on all the excitement and fun so he had to climb up and join Graham. Of course Graham loved it because he is seriously obsessed with Owen.

I love how they're both holding their hands together.

All done!

So we obviously got the okay from the doctors to start solids and since I feel like G acts starving sometimes I decided to. I am so glad it was such a success! After meeting with the GI specialist I am slowly putting diary back into my diet. I am crossing my fingers we have no more bloody poops, but if we do I've got some test tubes to collect it in and send to the lab per doctor's orders. So far he's a little gassy but handling the change quite well.

We went through a rough patch with Graham's sleeping schedule, leaving him waking up almost every 3 to 4 hours. I still don't really know why this happened but I have a few guesses. He's teething with his front two teeth coming down and I really do think he was hungry. After beginning solids a week ago, he's gone back to his 7 to 8 hour stretch without a feeding and then his usual 12 hour sleep night. Thank goodness!! The lack of sleep was really catching up to me.

Graham is getting better and better at using his hands to grasp things. He loves to put everything in his mouth. Here we go again! He almost always has his legs in the air if he's lying on his back. He's found his toes and it's so cute! 

Graham is still so in love with Owen and it is my very most favorite thing to watch as G giggles because Owen's talking to him or smiling at him. There is nothing better than to watch your children love each other.

Graham is as sweet as can be and I am in love with everything about him. He makes my heart smile.

Love you baby boy!!!
