I can't believe another month has come and gone. It seems that my sweet little one is growing faster and faster with each passing day! We love him to pieces and are still amazed at how much he has blessed our lives!
Things to remember about Drake at {FIVE} Months:
* He has a serious attitude problem! He has perfected the full blown shrieking wail and practices it whenever he is not getting his way. We could be in for a lot of trouble with this one!
* His blow-outs are seeming to be less frequent. Thank heavens! Size three diapers are a little big still but they contain the waste much better.
* He is still on Prevacid.
* He has started to throw-up much more frequently. He still gags himself with his fingers but is throwing up more and more often for no reason.
* He has just started to reach for things. He will grasp his toys and he tries to grab onto anything that is within reach.
* He recognizes his bottles and his cereal bowls and cries until he is fed.
* He only rolls from front to back and still hates tummy time.
* He still sleeps from 9:00 pm until 9:00 am.
* He loves the dogs. He smiles and laughs whenever them come into the room. He watches them constantly.
* He still loves to be outside.
* He refuses to look at me when I am trying to take his picture. I catch him occasionally, but it's becoming more and more difficult.
* He is so smiley and happy most of the time.
* He is constantly moving and is definitely not a snuggler anymore. He never lays his head on my shoulder.
* He is still swaddled like a burrito every night and he still tries his hardest to get out. He has learned to raise and lower his legs until the blanket is scrunched up around his neck, which frees is arms and legs.
* He is a momma's boy.
* He is constantly gnawing on his hands and still tries to stuff his whole fist in his mouth.
* He loves to be tossed in the air, not high of course!
* He has started to throw a fit when I dress him. He just can't be bothered with clothes!
* He loves his rice cereal, tolerates pees, and loves squash.
* He loves when Oma sings him the German nursery rhymes. He smiles and giggles every time.
