Well I completely missed the four month post and am of course late with the five month one. To say we've been busy since school has gotten started is probably an understatement.
Here's the dude in all his growth and glory.
You can click on this picture to make it bigger.
He looks bigger in the four month picture than the five month one, but I swear he hasn't shrunk. He weighs about 22 pounds so he's quite the big boy. He's wearing some 3-6 months and mostly 6 months clothes. I know it won't be long before he jumps to 9 though.
Football season has started and Chris is hoping to have a football fan in Caden. I think he's safe (for at least the time being) since Caden loves anything that's appearing on TV these days.
I was cleaning out all the pajama gowns that he wore as a newborn and came across Chris's favorite...the football of course. We had to make sure it still fit and it did...perfectly.
The first time he wore it, it was rather large.
Caden's favorite things to do these days are to smile, smile, smile, stand up (with help), watch Charlotte, drool, chew on his favorite chewing toy Sophie, and smile some more. He is such a happy baby and hardly ever cries.
Here he is with his two favorite toys (other than his doggie blankie).
Sophie
And the Jungly Tail Book
Besides his favorite toys Caden loves to suck on his tongue and it is so funny. He looks pretty silly doing it. Here are a few shots of his funny tongue-sucking faces. Oh yeah, and check out that unibrow! :)
Charlotte and Caden have gotten much closer these days. His face lights up whenever he sees her and he loves to get his hands on her. Charlotte is patient and tries her best to stick around for the "petting" but sometimes she bolts. She does like to sneak in some licks here and there and I know she'll be a much bigger fan of Caden's when he starts eating food in a couple weeks.
Since school has started we've been getting used to the new schedule. Caden goes to a babysitter who's a parent from school and she lives right across the street. We couldn't have gotten any luckier than that. We are so grateful for her! And Caden loves it there...especially when the kids get home and play with him.
His aunt Katie has been here this week to visit so he's been playing and enjoying his auntie all week.
Five months old is so much fun. He definitely is getting a personality and his laughing is getting more and more frequent. I know baby food, teeth, more laughing, perfecting the sitting position and constantly rolling over are right around the corner. I need to get as many pictures as I can of that gummy smile I love before those teeth pop out.
