Evan is 5 Months Old

My how time is flying.  I can't believe Evan is already 5 months old.  He is growing bigger every day.  Some days it looks like he's grown an inch and feels like he's grown a pound by the end of the day.








Some of the things Evan can do now at 5 months old:
  • Smiles and laughs
  • Grabs toys well and puts them in his mouth
  • Talks a lot and can say lots of different letter sounds (M, N, A, I, H, L, etc.) - in fact a speech therapist just this week tested him at a 7 month old level.  No delays there!
  • Rolls to his side (still working on this and working on rolling to his tummy from his back)
  • Rolls from tummy to back (since 6 weeks old)
  • Pulls to sit up with assistance
  • Pulls to stand with assistance (and smiles every time he stands)
  • Holds his head up well (over 15 minutes)
  • Plays with his feet
  • Loves music, faces, and hands
  • Falls asleep in the car in less than 5 minutes
  • Sleeps from 9pm to 6:30am (since 10 weeks old)
  • Eats rice cereal, oatmeal, apples, and bananas (2 Tbsp of cereal, 1/2 container of fruit)
  • Eats Similac Advance Formula (about 4 to 5 ounces per feeding)
  • Props up on elbows and hands while on his tummy (we're working on extending time for these)
  • Weighs about 11 1/2 pounds, 23 1/2 " long
  • Loves his daddy and smiles best for him
He's a happy baby! We love him more and more every day.  What a cute little blessing we have!
