As unbelievable as it sounds, little man Jace is 5 months old! He is such a handsome little guy, with such a huge smile. It is impossible not to smile back at him. He had a (delayed due to our Christmas trip) doctors appointment and weighed in at 16.8 lbs and is 26 inches long! Both are pretty close to 50th % for a 5 month old. He just seems so tall! and heavy! He is still a loud squawker and will let you know if he's ready for a change. He very much likes his alone time to play as well as his snuggle time when he likes to be held.
He loves his 'me time' kicking back in his hot tub :)
Catching up on some shows with Daddy.
He LOVES his playtime with daddy, all smiles and drool.
We had a couple firsts this month, he started some rice cereal. He loves it and within a couple days is starting to coordinate opening his mouth when he wants more. He also grabs my hand to try to get the spoon in faster. I gave him some potatoes and he wasn't quite as excited about those. In fact, he wouldn't even open his mouth for them after a couple bites. I know they aren't the most flavorful, but they make a nice vessel to get other things in him. I'm going to try carrots in a couple days.
And....he finally rolled over. I think he was a little surprised! Nick and I were both here and Nick had just walked past him when I saw Jace go for the big push to roll.
We are getting pretty close to sitting on our own. He's also got two little teeth trying to push through on the bottom. He loves having his gums rubbed and actually fell asleep while I was rubbing them last night. Poor little guy. He was pretty fussy last week about them, and took a couple doses of Tylenol, but this week he seems a little happier. Feels like they take FOREVER to come in though.
