5 Months Down...

Oops...I did write a post over a week ago and never actually posted it!  Here it is, a little late....

Well, we are back from our wonderful beach vacation but before I get in to that I wanted to post Matthew's 5 month updates and pics....

Right after I made the last post, he officially became a "roller"...it actually happened while we were packing up to leave last Saturday morning.  I had him lying on a blanket on our bedroom floor while I was getting ready...I turned my back and the next thing I knew he was looking up at me from his elbows!  After that, he has been rolling ever since...and has learned that he can attempt to escape from his smothery brother by rolling away!

While we were on vacation I gave him cereal for the first time.  As I mentioned before, I had been holding out but every time he watched us eat he would literally start smacking his lips and acting like he was chewing and start reaching for our food...so clearly he was ready...and boy was he excited to have that cereal.  He gobbled it up and now he gets excited when he sees me get the bowl and spoon out.  I can't wait to see what he does when I bring out the "real" food...maybe one of my boys will be a good eater??

More 5 month fun:

• He has started laughing more...he is very ticklish and giggles through his post-bath lotion rub down.  Love that sound...
• He has discovered his tongue and if you stick your tongue out at him he sticks his right back out.
• He still finds Nate funny and brightens up when he comes around him...which is so interesting because Nate literally smooshes and pesters him, I would think he wouldn't be too fond of him!  But they still get along great...sometimes Nate joins us during the bedtime routine and reads books with us.
• He is still a perfect little angel!

Here are my teeth!
