5 months

Aiden turned 5 months on Tuesday!  It is just crazy!  I don't feel like I have a whole lot to update you all on from the last month so this post is mostly pictures.  I don't think too many will complain about that :)

In the last month Aiden:
  • is now rolling both directions.  In his 4 month post I mentioned that he was rolling from his tummy to his back, but in the last week he has learned to roll from his back to his tummy and actually seems to prefer it. Now we find him on his tummy in his crib sometimes :)

  • loves to look out the window and watch the cars drive by :)
I should have pulled his shirt down, but I was worried I'd miss the shot.  Love his little feet in this.  Well really I just love the whole shot - it cracks me up!

  • is becoming more and more independent.  Lately he is often happy for us to just lay him on the ground with a bunch of toys and he entertains himself.
  • sticks his tongue out ALL the time
  • has figured out how to put his paci in by himself.  It usually takes a few minutes, but he always figures it out :)
  • prefers to be upside down when he's laying in our lap..haha

Here Aiden was up on the couch with me and pushed off of me.  Don't worry, I had a good grip on him ;)

  • is learning to sit up on his own.  He sits pretty far forward and still falls over, but he's getting there!


  • has started to use his hands to push us away.  He does this to me especially when I'm trying to pick his boogies (I mentioned in this post) and it drives me nuts..haha.  He has totally figured out how to push my hands away and thrashes his head, so I haven't had as much success getting his little boogies in the last week!
  • this isn't new, but he loves to be buried in the laundry - clean of course.  He doesn't really like to be buried in the dirty laundry though.  Totally kidding ;)


And that's all I can think of!  I'll end with this picture just because I think he looks so cute in his baseball jammies :)


We may have Aiden try rice cereal for the first time tonight. If not tonight, definitely sometime this week.  I'll have to blog about it :)

  2. I am dying over how cute he is in the window picture haha. Did he really just get himself in that position on his own? And I am cracking up over the picture of you sitting smiling and then his head is upside down below you - I don't know why but it is just making me laugh! What a character! I should be coming to see him and you guys in a couple weeks with Jen, Jill, and Bryn and I CANNOT WAIT!!
