Time flies-when your having fun!

I can't believe my little baby is already 5 months old! He is growing up to be such a sweet boy already. His little personality is starting to show already with the way he laughs and giggles at everything we say and do. He even does this cute litte thing where we will both by lying on our backs and he rolls to the side and grabs at me (or Brandon) and when we look over at him he rolls onto his back and just laughs and laughs. It's adorable.

His new thing is right before he falls asleep he rolls over onto his belly. Since starting this his naps have almost tripled in length! He sleeps SO good on his belly. We get nervous and go check on him a lot more now to make sure his head is turned to the side so he can breath but he doesn't seem to have any problems with his new position. He is such a wonderful sleeper. As long as his tummy is full he will let us sleep till about 4 or 5 am before he wants to get up and eat. After that feeding it's right back to sleep until 8 or so. Usually another snack and he's back to sleep again (sometimes). We couldn't have prayed up a better baby!

Our schedule has been a little hectic lately. I've been working a lot on weekends since B is home. We just don't feel right about putting him in day care yet. He is doing so many new things and discovering so much already and I love to be home to watch it or know that Brandon is there to see it. It makes our evenings together so much more precious than they ever were before since thats our family time. We have been running at night and Graham is such a trooper. He gets buckled into his jogging stroller, slouches down, leans back and holds onto his little tray and off we go. The longest we've gone was just over 3 miles and he hung in there the whole time! He likes to watch everything go by really fast so he never gets fussy on our runs. I love it because we are all together yet I am still getting to do something for myself which is a nice treat. (never thought I'd say running was a 'nice treat'...but as they say...a baby changes everything!)

The cereal eating is going well. We usually have one bowl each evening. We are trying to stick with the whole grain cereal (instead of rice) to start him off on the right foot with the nutrition thing. I am actually researching how to make homemade baby food so we don't have to buy all the stuff with preservatives and junk. :) I am really excited about the idea of making his food for him, or continuing to make for him I guess I should say! Who would have thought that is something I would have gotten excited about! Like I said before...a baby changes everything!

Although he is only 5 months, he is filling out 6-9 month clothes very nicely. I just bought a couple pairs of new PJ's for him and went ahead and got the 9-12 month so we could get more use out of them! I can't believe he is growing so fast. When we hold him like a baby (craddled) we always laugh because it feels so silly to hold such a big baby that way. It just doesn't seem right. Of course, he just giggles and giggles when we do this. He's so precious.

We are really looking forward to early September. He will get to see his Papaw and Gram (Dennis and Pat) and his Mawmaw (my mom) all in the SAME WEEK! :) And it just happens to fall on Sunday, Sept 12 which is Grandparents Day! How perfect! He is so blessed to have wonderful Grandparents who love him.
