5 months

max is five months old today...can you believe it? me neither!
we've been practicing sitting...hence our wordless wednesday:) he is definitely doing better, sitting more upright and for longer periods of time and by that, i mean about 10-15 seconds before he face plants:)
he now has eaten sweet potatoes, apples, bananas, oatmeal and one small taste of avocado, which i plan on serving over the weekend. some days he does great with the foods and somedays i put most of it in the disposal. his favorite so far seems to be the sweet potatoes. i think we might try carrots next week.
i weighed him this morning, just after a small bottle and before the bananas, and he is just hovering around 17lbs. he really enjoys hiding from mom and dad, aka putting the burp rag over his face and is loving his jumperaroo.

this is him coming out of hiding!

his night time sleeping hit a bump in the road a couple of weeks ago but we seem to have gotten back on track and he is just waking one time during the night...usually between 3-5am. his daytime napping isn't so hot so we are trying some new techniques and we'll see how that goes:) i really would like to get him shifted to a couple longer naps during the day as opposed to 4 short naps. hopefully, i'll have good news to report next week.
