Five Months Old!

Jace is five months old! He's quite the busy boy--if he's not wiggling and talking, he's sleeping, and even then he wiggles while he sleeps! Jace will do a complete 360 degree turn in his crib throughout the night (I have fun watching him through our video monitor). He can roll from his back to his tummy and tummy to back, but would rather just lay on his back or side, playing with toys (and talking or yelling at his toys). He's known about his feet for over a month now, but just finally realized they're fun to play with. He lights up when either Nolan or I come into his sight and is always quick to give us a smile. He brings us so much joy. He has been spitting up more than we thought was normal for even a spitty baby, and it began to be projectile as well, so we took him to the doctor this week. She gave us a prescription for a reflux medicine (which seems to be helping somewhat, but he still spits up quite a bit), and referred us at GI specialist in Portland. We'll see what happens... But enough of the details, now for a peak at that adorable face!

I made Jace a onesie for the 4th of July and had to do his 5 month pictures in it :)



He's staring at Daddy in this picture. I love the look on his face.

Enjoying some time in the bumbo seat while waiting for friends to come over on the 4th. He almost always has at least one finger in his mouth, and has recently discovered how much he loves his thumb (mostly to chew on, not really into sucking his thumb yet).

The other day he was sitting in the bumbo and leaned over to look at the blanket when he realized how great the bumbo is to suck on (he does the same thing in his exersaucer). This picture also shows how much he's lost his hair. He had cradle cap for a while, and every chunk of skin that came off took the hair with it. He has to awkward bald spots on the sides, and it's thinning in the middles. I'm sad to see this hair go.

Enjoying a beautiful evening outside.

Showing off how much he likes his feet.

So cute! When Josiah saw him in the Bumbo seat he said, "He's going potty!" :) Then he also said, "wow he's growing! " He's such a big boy! Love those smiles! You guys should stop by sometime!
