5 months old

Judah has grown so much this month! He went from 17lbs 4 oz (at 4 months) to somewhere around 19.5 lbs! (and this is just on breastmilk!) He has eaten some solids, but he doesn't eat them every day, and when he does its maybe a tablespoon.

I am 99.9% sure he is teething. He has been fairly cranky, chewing on anything that comes near him, and just not himself :( We have tried lots things to help, but all that really helps is cuddling and lots of attention. My day revolves around keeping him occupied because he does not want to be left alone for very long. He is still a happy little guy, and always making me laugh!

He had alot of firsts, he can sit unassisted for a little bit, he drinks from a sippy cup with ease, he went in the pool, and he rode in his big boy carseat! We bought him the Graco Myride, and I love it! He has so much more room in it and it just looks more comfy.

Another great thing happened this month, I found out Judah is going to have a cousin! My sister in law Katie is due December 30th, so they will be about a year apart. We are so excited to expand our family.

I cant believe my little boy will be half a year old on June 20th. Also coming up this weekend is the first time I will have to leave him for an extended period of time (longer then 4 hours). Its Jess's bachelorette party, which I am excited for, but at the same time I am going to miss him so much! Also her wedding is June 12th and it will be so incredibly hard to be away from him for the whole afternoon/evening. Im sure I will be texting Katie and Jeremy the whole night (his babysitters). Thinking about it makes me sad :( But I know it will be fun, and I am really excited for Jess and Jon, marriage is awesome!

hoping this month slows down a bit...hes growing too fast!
