Spencer is 5 months old


Man it's going by fast. Baby love is five months old today. He is squeezie and chubby and that's just the way we love them around here.
He wears 6-9 month old clothes, is in a size three diaper, loves applesauce mixed with oatmeal cereal and would trade me in for pear juice any day. He sleeps through the night and if not, I just kick Darren and he goes to put the pacifier back in his mouth. Spencer nurses first thing in the morning and just before bed. He gets excited when he sees a bottle coming towards him. He's slowly adopting the two long naps during the day and a short one in the evening. He prefers his belly when he is playing on the floor. He rolls off the blanket and clear across the room but hasn't figured out how to get back the other direction so he gets stuck up against things like the entertainment center, the trunk or the piano. He loves the exer-saucer and just recently (after I sat the seat up) enjoys the swing. I wash a batch of his clothes every other day. I miss his long hair - big time. He's still a snuggler, loves to be held and lays his head on my shoulder when I pick him up. He drinks 6 ounces in his bottle or a bowl full of food. He's a happy content baby and that has been a serious blessing to me.

I think this is such a fun age they are just discovering so many things Paityn is finally starting a schedule I think. She has slept really good through the night the last couple nights and I am down to pumping twice a day as well I think I am a happier mom already!! Can't wait to see you guys.

I can't wait to see this little chunk in a couple of months. I wish you were closer so I could come visit. Cute pictures though!
