Five months

Theodore is five months old! He's such a sweet baby, and continues to be easy and laid back. He's getting so big and chunky now, and I can carry him around on my hip (which is easier than supporting him on my shoulder all the time). He's turning out to be the worst sleeper that we've had, but thankfully his sleep isn't too bad.

These days he likes playing in his exersaucer, log-rolling in his crib, trying to scoot forward on his tummy, squealing, blowing raspberries, being outside, and trying out the baby swings at the park.





He also occasionally gets into crawling position (getting his knees up under his tummy), and he's going to be getting into everything before we know it. Another major milestone is that he's been trying new foods. So far his favorite is sweet potatoes, just like Oliver!

Of course, Theodore loves to be around his big brother and sister. Buttercup has a new game that she likes to play with him -- she'll lean toward him and whisper, "Hi!" and he'll giggle at her. They are so adorable together! I love how much they enjoy each other's company.

Here's a video of Theodore and Buttercup at the park the other day. She was saying, "Hi!" to him, and he was blowing raspberries in response. :-)
