Brady at Five Months

Brady,

This month we are going to do this bullet-list style...

-You started eating cereal this month - you love it and I'm so proud how easily you've taken to eating from a spoon.
-When you are laying on your back you push your elbows down and strain your neck to try and sit up.  You can sit up unsupported for a few seconds before tumbling over.
-You still are not rolling over.  I'm not concerned because I feel like you are plenty strong enough, just don't have the interest.  You really want to sit up, but not roll over.
-You reach for EVERYTHING.  I have to be more vigil about what is around us now because you will surely grab for it.  Like on Thanksgiving when I was standing at the counter and you grabbed a dish holder and nearly sent the squash to the ground.  Luckily I have fast reflexes.
-You have the best little chuckle laugh.
-You have found the dogs!  You love them!  They make you laugh by simply standing in front of you. 
-Finally, you are sleeping in your crib!  Albeit for only four hours, but its progress and I'll take what I can get.

I love you buggy, I'm so excited to see what you'll bring next month.

-Mama
