5 Months

Mason turned 5 months.

Weight: approx 15.5 lbs
Height: approx 26.25 inches

He is so much fun right now, he loves to yell and is constantly jabbering.  One of my favorite new things he does is when he first wakes up in the morning he will start talking to himself and be making noises.  When we go to check on him he's just staring at his crib bumber having the best conversation ever.  It is so nice to wake up to his fun sounds instead of just him crying.  He loves to put everything in his mouth, especially skin.  He doesn't usually take a pacifier because of the rubbery feel, but he will go to town on his fingers, mine or anyone else's if he can get them.

We recently started putting some of his clothes on that were previously too big for him and we were so excited that they fit.  He finally got to wear his robot shirt from Kelsey, and the sweater that Nana gave him.

We gave him rice cereal for the first time a few weeks ago and it was pretty hilarious.  He didn't eat too much but it was fun to watch him try.  He would mostly make funny faces and spit the cereal out.

Since then he has gotten the hang of it and now during eating sessions he yells till he has the spoon in his mouth.

He's getting so big so fast; Christopher is ready for him to walk around and play more. I tell him he has to be patient and remind him that even though he's so much bigger than he was, he's still only 5 months old.
