5 Months Old

Wow, this one hit me hard. My little boy is already 5 months old. It is flying by so fast. He is so big and so curious. His curiosity makes me laugh. He reaches and grabs for anything we have. He is most enthralled with Taylor. He loves her. If he is playing and she comes through the room, he drops everything and watches her. He wants to grab her and likes to play toys with her. She still leaves him alone when he is playing by himself, but if we are holding him or playing with him, she jumps right in and tries to lick him. I can only imagine what they'll be like together once Kagen starts crawling.
Right now he is rolling over and we are working on getting strong enough to sit up unsupported. He has been rolling from his back to his tummy for about a month now, but yesterday was the first time he rolled from his tummy to his back. He did it twice last night. He gets so mad because his arm that he has to roll over gets in the way. Crawling is not in our near future unless he learns to spend more time on his tummy.
He has been eating a bowl of rice cereal twice a day now for a few weeks. He eats one in the morning at day care for breakfast, then another in the evening with us for dinner. At dinner time he gets a vegetable mixed in with the cereal. So far, he has had squash, green beans, sweet potatoes, and carrots. He has loved them all. He has had a little bit of apple juice the past couple of days and has handled that alright as far as I can tell. The doctor said no table food yet because it is bad for his kidneys and liver, so we have stayed far away from that. I think next month we'll get to start trying things like that.
