5 Months

Oh our sweet little man, you are 5 months already!!!

• You secretly rolled over the other day while we weren't watcing you. Daddy layed you down on your back and when we looked at you a few minutes later you were on your belly! Of course you haven't done it again :)
• You are ticklish! The greatest spots are the bottoms of your feet and your belly. In fact if we just lay our face on your belly and you laugh and giggle :) Your sweet giggles never get old!! I wish I could bottle them up for years down the road.
• You are reaching for everything and anything and it all goes into your mouth.
• You are paying lots more attention to Gunner and Trig. You love petting them. Because you love grabbing their fur, we have to be careful to watch how much of their fur you put into your mouth. Oh sweet child :)
• You just began wearing size 2 diapers!
• Your still sleeping 12 hours at night (9 pm-9am!) and take 3 naps during the day (2 of the naps are about 1.5 hours, the last nap is a quick 30 minutes)
• You eat 4 times a day off of me and one small bowl of rice in the evenings.
• You've developed the sense of being scared with loud noises and Gunner barking.
• You continue to love being sung to.
• You love, love, love being in your stroller!
• You enjoy reading books
• You probably weigh 15 pounds by now
• We just pulled out the 6 month clothes. Yes, they are a bit large on you ;)
• You still get swaddled while you sleep. You break out your sleep sack often, but we haven't wanted to fight the battle yet. Soon son, soon ;)
• Your nicknames thus far: The Brodster, B Man, Chunk, Chunk-a-lunk and Popyee.

Oh sweet Brody! I say it all the time, we love you so, so, so much! Everyday being your momma and daddy just gets better and better and it's so much fun! We truly are bursting at the seams of our love for you. We are thankful the Lord has given us you to raise and are thankful He continues to work in you! We pray daily you will come to know Him and have a personal relationship with Him at an early age, love Him and serve Him with your heart and your life. You are so special to us :)

We bought a pool the other day. B and I went to Wal-Mart to get only milk last week. Well......we got much, much more (I hate it when that happens). For some reason I thought the pool would fit into the Pilot with Brod in it. Ha! I just ended up making a fool out of myself as 2 guys tried to help and I resulted to needing to call my husband and requesting his help. It all worked out though and the Brodster LOVES his pool!
