Growing, Growing, Growing!!!!


Caleb is now five months old and is growing like a weed. This month has been a big month for him. He has learned to roll over from his back to his stomach. The only problem is that he hates being on his tummy. Once he realizes he is on his belly, he starts hollering for me to turn him over again. He has not yet figured out how to roll back to starting position. Haha.

He has also started eating by spoon for three of his meals. His only choice right now is oatmeal, but he seems to completely enjoy it. He moans and grunts with every bite (MMMM-mmmmm). It is too cute. I have to keep up with him too. He is a fast eater. Next week, we will try squash.

Caleb has also cut his first tooth. I can feel it more than see it because his tongue stays over it. Little man has been chewing on everything he can put his little hands on. We have been waiting a while for it to finally pop up. We immediately bought a baby toothbrush and toothpaste. However, after reconsidering, I decided to use the little finger brush that came with the paste. I will eventually move towards a real brush. For now, the finger brush works fine. I was afraid that he would fight me on it, but (like everything else) he took in stride. Go Caleb!!!

Our last visit with the doctor had him weighing in at 17ibs, 15 oz. and his length was 27 1/4". However, that was a month ago. I can assure you that he is bigger than that now! My little sweetpea! Oh how we love him. Chilling out after his bath.
His first tooth brushing experience. He did well!


Always the happy boy!

His first spoon feeding. He wasn't quite sure what to do!




Looking a little confused by the new experience!
