Little A is 5 Months

Hard to beleive that Austin hit the 5 month mark already. The next few months are my favorite of the baby stage. Love that I can hold him, for the most part, on my hip. He's becoming so active and interactive. Getting stronger to sit up, showing pretty consistent napping patterns, super easy to put to bed, eating and swallowing rice ceral and ready to move to oatmeal and veggies, reaching and grabbing for everything. His favorites are crinkle anything, and looking at himself in the mirror. Ashlyn loves to eat her fruit snacks and then give Austin the bag to crinkle...it's sweet!

Poor thing has had his 3rd cold in a row. I hate when he's congested cause he struggles while nursing. He was being fussy (not normal) and ran a low grade temp so I took him to the Dr. knowing something was up. He has his first ear infection. Guess he and his sister are wired the same way, she had lots of ear infections her first 2 years. Got some antibiotics and he's quickly recooperating.

The only thing that really makes him mad, is going in the car seat. He's fine once clipped in, or moving, but gets mad mad mad when you put him in. Much different than ashlyn who would lounge or nap happily in her carseat for hours. Otherwise he is still the most easy going, chill baby. Can't resist his adorable baby giggles. Hope his big baby smiles make your heart sore like they do for us.
