This past Monday Mr. Emerson turned 5 months old. He celebrated by eating green beans, the third food he's tried. So far he has had peas, carrots and green beans. He did not like the carrots at all. However, he seems to like the green foods.
Here are the new things he can do:
- He's actually starting to play with his toys now for a few minutes at a time.
- No longer uses the baby bath tub but is in the tub like a big boy.
- Loves to splash during bath time.
- Can make motorboat noises.
- Holds up his arms when he wants to be picked up.
- Can roll from back to tummy now! (This is very exciting as it saves Mommy & Daddy time because we no longer have to flip him over when he gets himself on his tummy and gets stuck)
- Eating: cereal, peas, carrots, green beans.
- Smiles at himself in the mirror.
- Is starting to army crawl when he's on his tummy and sees something he wants.
- VERY close to sitting on his own.
- Reaching for things in front of him (on the table, in Mommy & Daddy's hands...right now it's the keyboard)
- Is sleeping through the night again after a 5 week hiatus (Thank you God!)
- Has the very beginnings of stranger anxiety sometimes.
- Can put himself to sleep when left in his crib (and sleepy!)
- Can kinda put his paci back in his mouth.
- Able to entertain himself for longer stretches of time (approx. 20 min)
- Has 2 bottom teeth
- Has almost lost all the darker brown hair he had when he was a baby. Replaced with blond hair (a tinge of red).
We can't believe what a big boy he has become in such a short time. This month he'll help celebrate a few more birthdays, have a visit Nonie Ger & Grandpa Ace, go to his first CSU football game, attend a few more Rockies games and we're sure there will be more firsts!
