5 Months

How is it possible that Barrett is already 5 months old?!?! This has been a great past month for us! All 3 of us.

Barrett has continued to learn how to play and entertain himself with his toys.

And he thinks his parents are hilarious!

(Something that I know will fade away as he grows up. So I'm going to enjoy it now!)

And we have teeth! Last week he got his first 3 teeth: 2 on the bottom and 1 on the top!

I'm sure that 4th tooth is on it's way too.

Below are his 5 month pictures. As you can see, he was not too thrilled when we started. But when I started dancing and jumping around like a goofball ... well you can see how he reacted.

Things I don't want to forget:

• his tickle spot on the right side of his neck
• the way he smiles at himself in the mirror
• how he discovers EVERYTHING around him ~ wants to know what everything is, what everything does, and everything that is happening
• the look on his face when he sees me or his dad after we've been away for a while
• his obsession with his feet
• how cute he is when he raises his eyebrows when he giggles really hard
• the way it feels when I put him to bed at night and he falls asleep with his head on my shoulder, and arms stretched out like he's giving me a hug
• his "wild professor" hair
• the way he attacks his spoon with a "hhmmph" each time he takes a bite of his rice cereal
• they way he "holds" his bottle: he grabs it on both sides and puts the actual bottle part in his mouth. And if he does manage to get his mouth on the right part, he tries to drink from it as if he was drinking from a straw. We're working on it :)
