5 months for Seth

A few weeks ago Seth turned 5 months. Here’s some of what our little buddy has been discovering:

Grabbing his feet and rolling over


Sleeping on his tummy (until mom or dad turns him over since he doesn't know how to yet)


His big boy overalls


How to sit up a little better (it’s improved a ton since this picture was taken)


Plants inside and outside the apartment


The Easter bunny


And for the grandmas, here’s his stats/development:

• Weighs around 16 or 17 pounds
• Wears 3-6 or 6-9 month clothes and size 2 diapers
• Rolls from back to tummy
• Says da da da, na na na, and la la la
• Laughs “real laughs” at least once a day
• Loves to look at books
• Flails limbs and lifts up his bottom, trying to scoot
• Sometimes takes naps longer than 30 or 40 minutes :)
• Goes to sleep at nighttime like a champ and wakes up once to eat and 1-2 times for pacifier replacement
• Pulls hair and grabs faces
• Eats rice and oatmeal cereals everyday
• Has tried bananas, apples, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes with squash being the winner (but really he will eat them all)!
• Breathes in and out real fast and wiggles his whole body when he is excited (seeing a smiling person, seeing himself in the mirror, seeing a fan or light, seeing a toy he wants)
• No longer sleeps well if mom and dad take him along for a date
• Loves being outside

We love hanging out with Seth and have definitely turned into the typical parents who sit around and watch their baby during any free time. But that’s what this time of life is for, right? Happy mother’s day to all of our women friends, whether you have your own kids or not. Thanks for your motherly influence on our sweet baby!

Oh and I almost forgot a movie! This is fairly short and one of the cutest this month. It's Seth saying da da.
