Brett at 5 Months

Brett is already 5 months! Here's some highlights from his last month and some pictures:
  • Brett continues to be Chunky Monkey - he went to the doctor at the beginning of February and weighed over 18 pounds! He's already wearing 9 month size clothes and some of those are getting too tight!
  • Brett has been a great baby food eater (hence the Chunky Monkey). So far he has seemed to like all the veggies and is starting on the fruits. He still wants to eat often and a lot - including a bottle in the middle of the night most nights.
  • Brett seems to be very good with his hand eye coordination already. He grabs toys and moves them from hand to hand. He has also figured out how to pull his pacifier out so he can stick his thumb in!
  • Brett loves to play. He has really been getting into toys and I have seen him actually get mad if I put a toy away that he was playing with.
  • Brett continues to be a blankie boy. He LOVES his little blankies and snuggles his face right into them when he is tired.
  • Brett is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. If you look at him, he smiles. He hardly ever fusses or cries - usually just when he is hungry or tired.
  • Much to my delight, Brett is a bit of a mama's boy right now! :)
