Where Has the Time Gone?

Baby M is 5 months old today!!!! He's getting so big, it's making me sad, but happy in the same respect. Watching an infant grow is the most amazing experience I've ever had. They start out so dependent on you and then gain more and more independence as they get older. He's now rolling over from back to belly, eating carrots, sweet potatoes, and peas for his veggies and then bananas, pears, and apples for his fruits, so far no allergies (knock on wood). He's having 24-32 oz of breastmilk/formula per day along with his solids. We started supplementing with formula at the very end of Decem.ber and he's been sleeping for longer periods of time. We get both kids to bed at 8pm and then Baby M usually wakes up between 10-12 for his night feeding.

He loves his exersaucer, bum.bo seat, and hand toys. Baby M is in love with Little man and vice versa. Little man always helps with what ever we need him to do as well as with things that we don't ask him to do. If he notices that Baby M is fussy in his bouncy chair he'll sit next to him and bounce him. He's always tickling him and making faces at him so that he'll laugh. I cannot wait until they are at the right age where they can play together.

I could go on and on but I've got to get to bed because I have to work tomorrow. I know I'm long overdue for a picture post so I'll try to get on that. A little update about R......he's getting signed up to substitute teach. His meeting is tomorrow so hopefully he'll be able to pick up jobs on the days that I'm unable to get something and then we both can work when my mom can come and watch the kids. We still haven't heard anything from the job in Chica.go.
