Five months and going
strong!! I am so long now that I have to wear size 6 months clothes already!
While the 3-6 months close fit me width wise, they are just not long enough. My
pediatrician said if I keep growing like I have been, I am going to be one tall
boy!
So, here is what has
been going on in the fun world of me this past month:
WOW....why has no
one told me that there is a special day when you get to dress up and get free
candy!! (I think that needs to happen at least once a month!) Ok, so I didn't
really get to eat any candy, but I did get to help hand it out to the
Trick-or-Treaters that came to our house. I got all dressed up in this duck
costume that was "Sooooo Cute", so I could go to a few of our neighbor's houses.
Here is my costume...Quack Quack...Donovan the Duck!
Besides getting
dressed up the night of Halloween, I also got to wear a special shirt to daycare
that day, and a hat made just for me too in honor of the fun day! Check it
out:
I got to try cereal
and sweet potatoes for the first time! I was a little confused as to how this
whole spoon thing works, but I quickly got the hang of it! My first meal was
rice cereal, and since I had never eaten from a spoon before I think more cereal
ended up on my bib and my face then it did in my mouth!! But, as time went on, I
figured it out and get really excited when I see the spoon coming towards my
mouth now.
My first meal of
something with flavor was sweet potatoes, and boy were they delicious!! My mom
made them, as she is making all of my baby food since she refuses to give me
baby food from a jar. She has a whole list of food she is preparing and
freezing for me to try and taste!!
Here is a video of me trying sweet potatoes for the first time...as you can see, I am not scared to try new things!
Oh, and I am such a big boy now that I even want to feed myself! Oh course it doesn't really work...come on, I am only 5 months old! But, I get to practice with the spoon after I am done eating!
I got my picture
taken this past month and I was a good boy during the photo session too! The
photographer would make me laugh and smile, but as soon as she pulled her camera
up I would get super serious and would be too busy checking the camera out to
smile! All of the lights she had on made me super sleeping because it was so
warm and cozy, so she got a lot of me sleepy...and of course sucking my
thumb. She did manage to get one of me with a half smile though!
