Cohen's 5 Month Update

Yesterday marked the 5 month point for our youngest little munchkin. I still can't believe he's 5 months old already! Time goes by way too quickly by the time it's your third! I feel like not much has changed between four and five months. He did finally figure out how to roll from his tummy back onto his back, which has been lots of fun to watch! He is now a rolling machine and can also creep around a bit on his tummy already.

He isn't really close to sitting yet at all. He loves to stand and will play very contentedly in the exercauser for quite a while before he wants out. He loves watching his brother and sister and him and Shaela have quite the bond already. She sits with him more than Xavier does and Cohen just loves it. He always has big smiles for her.

For the past few weeks he's been waking up to eat at night again. Which has made for a tired mommy! It's crazy how quickly you get used to the extra sleep! Anyway...we decided that 5 months was a good time to start him on solids, so he had his first taste of rice cereal at suppertime last night. He didn't quite know what to do with the first few spoonfuls, but once he realized it was food, he ate it up! He kept grabbing my hand with the spoon and 'guiding' it into his mouth. It was pretty cute! We'll try again tonight and if he has no reaction by the end of the week then we'll try a different kind of cereal to start giving him some variety. I feel like now that we've started solids, the milestones are going to start coming fast and furious. Sitting, then crawling, then walking....and before you know it my baby will be a toddler! *Sigh*
