5 Months Today!

Finley is 5 months old today. Wow, I can’t believe how much he’s grown in just that short time.  I know I just did a little update on what he’s been up to but as of this week he is eating his cereal like a champ.  He eats the whole serving I make (it’s only a tablespoon!) but he now eats cereal two times a day.  Breakfast and dinner.  He is now taking 6oz bottles most of the time and takes one every three hours or so. There is no shortage of food for this kid.  I talked to Nate and we are thinking veggies might be on the menu next week? Other than that Finley is continuously making progress in the crawling department.  He reminds me of an inch worm sometimes?  He also is getting “chatty”.  I had called him “sound-effects Finley” when he was littler because he was very vocal even then but now his talking sounds more real (his own special mix of baby babble)  and he just keeps getting louder and louder.  It’s just wonderful to see him discover new things everyday and watch the learning progress of this little human made by us!!   Speaking of Nate. He is doing well in Florida. Though rainy, the weather is a lot nicer than the sub zero we have here. We get to chat daily- if brief but that’s good enough by me. Just to at least touch base everyday helps.  It was Nate’s idea from now on to get a picture of Finley in the glider every month to see his growth and changes.  Well, I can say I tried my best but Finley wasn’t exactly thrilled with the idea of sitting still in the chair.  It’s a lot tougher with one poser and photographer.  Well, it made for a few good laughs anyway. 

Attempt #1- This morning

Attempt #2- This Afternoon…notice the costume change? Finley goes through probably 3 changes of clothes daily for various reasons.

The pants and socks have now come off.  Does that help with sitting still?

 

Nope.

But eating your socks is always looks good in pictures- in case anyone needed any senior portrait ideas. Courtesy of Finley.

Oh and I am posting this now because Finley decided that 5 months old means you should stay up past 11pm and party like a rock star. Kids these days!
