John William- 5 Months Old!

5 month stats: 
weight: 14lbs 9oz. (25%)
height: 26" (50%)

John sat up for the first time on January 1st, with only minimal support.  He sits on his own for about a second.  

He took a bottle for the first time right before Christmas.  Glory glory.  I am still nursing him, but now we can occasionally leave him with a sitter for a little mommy/daddy time.  

He loves his paci.  

He sleeps on his tummy.  

He went through a period of waking up again at night.  It was crazy.  But I think we are finally almost near sleeping through the night again.  He loves the suck his paci in his crib and likes me to rub his back.  When I give him his paci in his crib he reaches up and holds my hands for a little bit while he closes his eyes and falls asleep.  It's adorable.  

He likes his little mat that sings classical music and has little guys hanging from it.  He loves his little rattle from Molly and Bri that lights up.  

He wants to move.  When he's on his tummy he moves his legs back and forth and tries to crawl. 

He had his first little illness- high fever and first urgent care visit the night before his 5 month birthday.  lasted about 48 hours.  

He's very happy and smiley.  He charms everyone he meets with this wide and happy instant smile.

Reading this made me think about my experience raising babies, and I loved it. The thing that seems most difficult in parenting, though it really all is quite a challenge, is when your child gets sick. No matter how hard you work or how attentive you are, your child is going to get sick, though help is always readily available if you know where to look.
