5 Months Old Today!!

Five months ago today this little angel came to meet us...
and now he has turned into this chunk of an angel.
John and I celebrated with cookies. Will celebrated with bananas :)
I can now say that I can't really remember what life was like without him. We are enjoying each minute with him. The other morning I went in to wake him because it was time to get up and eat and he was sleeping so sweetly. I teared up and just watched him for a while. It is still very surreal that we have been blessed with this precious little person!
Just when we think we can't love him anymore, he grins or giggles and shows his little personality and our hearts get even bigger. He has completely captured them!
A little bit about Will these days...
-He likes sweet potatoes. and squash. and carrots. and bananas. These are the only foods he has tried so far-as you can tell he is not picky. The boy just likes to eat! He opens his mouth WIDE when he sees the spoon coming and grunts at us if we are not fast enough!
-He recognizes the word milk. If you say this to him, he gets all excited, starts looking around for it, and move his arms and legs wildly. Then he cries if you don't give him any. It is so bad, that we now have to spell out milk if we need to say the word but it is not time for him to eat. Hysterical!
-He rolls. and rolls. and rolls. This past week I was on the phone and I put him down on a blanket in his room and I sat on the floor with him and kept talking. I looked away for a second and when I looked back at him, he had rolled halfway across the room. We think he will be crawling soon, and when he does our life is over! He already lifts up on his arms and kicks his feet. He is going to be quick, whenever he does learn.
-Daddy is far funnier than Mommy. John can make noises and faces that crack the kid up. He still throws his little head back in laughter while in the Bumbo which I love. It cracks me up!
-Gone are the days of footed pjs. It broke my heart to buy him big boy pjs. I found some really cute ones at the baby gap and some at target. But they are like boxers and a shirt....now when we get him out of the bath and part his hair and put these on he really looks like a big boy!-Gone also are the days of liquid poop.
-He is "talking" a lot these days and has started a high pitch squeal when he gets really excited.
-He enjoys watching Sid the Science Kid. Like he really pays attention in his bumbo. I only let him watch like 20 minutes in the morning and then he usually watches a Praise Baby DVD in the afternoon.
-He still likes to snuggle with mommy. I don't know what I am going to do when he is not a snuggler anymore! I could just eat him up!
-He is loving his bath!! John is usually the one that gives him his bath. We do this just before bed time. This past week John called me in to come and see him. It appears his bath was a little too soothing...he fell asleep in there! I mean out! We had to wake him up to get him out.

he is so sweet and cute - i'm thrilled that you are so overwhelmingly happy. isn't it great? and just do you know....there WILL be more liquid poop in your future. it won't be "normal" like in newborns, and it will be much, much worse!!!!
