Dear Finnegan,
Today you are five months old! I dropped the ball on an update last month, but I don't think the fact that you don't have a four month update with ruin your future, so I am fine with that. We were busy learning more and more about your little personality, and before I knew it time had gotten away from me.
This past month you have flourished. You have transitioned out of being a newborn and are simply a baby. Each day you grow into your chunky little cheeks, and your 'new' hair is growing in nicely. Your dad commented that right now it looks like a well cut crew cut. Your eyes are still blue, and I'm holding out hope that they are staying that color for good!
You love to smile, coo, and laugh, you are a genuinely happy baby, and we are so grateful for this! Right now your smiles take up your whole face and if you are really excited you let out a little gurgling giggle. When we come into get you in the mornings or after naps, you almost always greet us with a big gummy grin!
You are continuing to reach milestones, and we have reached the day where I can no longer put you down and return to you in the same place. You roll, twist, and turn every which way to get at what you want. And if we walk away from you, you are sure to get vocal and let us know, 'Hey guys I'm over here, you forgot about me.'
This past weekend we started playing with baby food, and so far you have tried a few fruits and vegetables, and seem to be loving the new experience. However, you are still a MESS, I thought this would pass after a few weeks when you were born, but we still go through numerous bibs a day, and I have a feeling this quantity is going to increase with baby food! You still eat four bottles a day, 8oz each, and at your bedtime bottle you get a sprinkle of cereal. You sleep through the night, and rotate between side sleeping and belly sleeping with your butt in the air. Right now you are the first to wake up on the weekends (you only beat Rowen by a little time) but it is a little extra snuggle time we get with just you, and I love it!
You love your big brother, and if he enters the room, you won't take your eyes off of him. If you think you are being included in what he is doing you can't contain your excitement. I know there will come a day very soon when you will be following him all over the house. You also are starting to get really excited about Jack and Lola, and they are loving that you are starting to taste like the good stuff :). Each day your personality grows, and we love seeing your little face light up when you discover something new!
We love you our dear sweet wonderful cheeky Finny...happy five months!!
