5 Months Old ALREADY

Nicolas is 5 Months, 18 pounds, wearing size 3 diapers, and is almost grown out of all his 6month clothes!  When he's on the floor, he can wiggle himself around in a complete circle.  He loves to stand up and won't let us hold him like "a baby" anymore unless he's sleepy. 

He's been eating rice cereal and sweet potatoes since Sunday.  Yesterday was his biggest meal yet!  He really enjoys drinking water from his sippy cup while he eats.  Our freezer is full of baby portion sized cubes of yellow squash, carrots and sweet potatoes, and there are still pears that need to be baked and frozen.

He loves playing in his Exersaucer, but still hates the Toucan and pushes him around whenever he can.  He's gaining so much control over his hands and has been really practicing getting them to go where he wants and picking up what he's been looking at.  He now has a whole range of vocalizations, but prefers to use his high voice scream most of the afternoon!  Alex and I swear that he's said "Momma" twice so far!!  He also started blowing raspberries the other day.  He thinks he's so funny, and so do we!
