all things Ryan: 5 months

Ryan turned 5 months old two weeks ago and I'm just now finding the time to write about his past month. Needless to say he keeps me busy! He weighed in at 16 pounds and is 26 inches long, up one pound and one inch from last month. Following this months chair picture are just a few of the many highlights of my sweet boys last month.

~Ryan's favorite time of the day is when his Daddy comes home from work. He gets sooo excited! He kicks his legs like crazy and his smiles quickly turn to giggles. Of course, I wasn't prepared with the camera when he started laughing so this was at the end of his 'happy laugh'.

~He's crazy about his feet! Grabbing his toes, pulling his socks off, putting them in his mouth, who wouldn't love his cute, little toes!

~He dressed up as superman/superbaby for Halloween. He pooped through his costume within 15 minutes of putting it on...

~He also trialed his scarecrow outfit.

~He's wearing mostly 3-6 month clothes and size 2-3 diapers.

~He loves it when I sing to him. Any song will do... I'm not sure if he smiles and laughs at the songs or my awful singing voice!

~His naps are all over the board. And because he rarely takes a third/late nap he's ready for bed by 6pm. Yep, he's down for the night by 6:30 at the latest. He goes down smoothly and generally gets up once during the night. He's up between 5:30 and 6 in the morning. Now, this is the norm. He alters the norm without notice!

~He's starting to play more and more each day and I'm loving watching him learn. He rolls like it's a method of transportation! If I leave him for a minute he will roll right off his quilt (he even once rolled into the closet!). He gets his butt in the air sometimes but he still doesn't use his arms as much as he could.

~This is only a snapshot of my little sunshine and, of course, he continues to be the most loved baby ever!
