The Thomas Tales: 5 months old....Stop it, just stop it right now!!!

I seriously am on Google right now looking for a time freezing machine. My baby is growing up way too fast and I'm so so sad.....but I'm also really excited? If that makes sense? I'm so sad he's not a teeny peanut anymore (well technically he is buuuut you know what I mean...) but I'm really looking forward to seeing the upcoming milestones start happening. What will his first word be? We're REALLY working on "Momma" so we shall see! When will he start crawling? Will he be a holy terror or a chill little guy? Oh its so exciting and so sad all in one. Boohoo.... anyways , the reason why you're all here.... what was up with Thomas the last month? A LOT!!! His fourth month on the planet was a very busy one!!

Thomas took his first trip to the beach!! He went to South Haven, Michigan and got to feel the sand in his toes and the Lake Michigan water on his legs! He didn't seem to have an opinion either way, haha!

Thomas has been refusing to do tummy time so we had to take him to the pediatrician to get checked out.... He would push himself up on occasion but not very often. He rolled over 3-4 times at the beginning of last month and then won't do it again! Thankfully the pediatrician said he checks out totally fine and that he is just a.... lazy baby!!! Go figure!!!

He is so much happier laying on his back with a good book!

Speaking of reading.... we've been doing a lot more reading! He loves board books and loves to "turn the pages". He tries!!

We transitioned the Pack N Play into more of a place for Thomas to take a snooze!!

His hair is growing fast!!! Now we can make a mohawk!!

We've been giving Thomas cereal on a more regular basis now. His reflux was getting bad again and rather than increasing his medicine again, we're trying the cereal more often. It seems to be working so far thank goodness, those choking episodes are SOOOOO scary!! We just got a rice cereal with banana and apple and he FREAKIN' LOVES IT. It has to be the funniest thing to see how excited he gets when he's fed it.

We've been practicing sitting and he's doing so good!!! He's more comfortable with the Boppy but even without it, he can sit unassisted for a few seconds. For not even being 5 months at the time that's amazing!! We think he will skip rolling (maybe crawling?? probably not...) and just go right to sitting! He seems happier sitting I think because he can see more? When you try and hold him like a baby now he gets all scrunched up and tries to sit. Almost like "I'm not a baby anymore!!!"

So now Thomas is FIVE months old!!! Here are some pictures of his in home photo shoot this month!! I can't wait to see what fun he has this month! Hard to believe that next month will be half way to one year old....time is flying so fast!!!

Here are some random cute pictures of Thomas this month!!

He's been spending lots of quality time with Daddy and going on walks! Mommy went back to work so now Daddy gets to have fun during the day!
