Mr. Jack, you are now 5 months old! Daddy and I were looking at pictures and couldn't believe 5 months with you have already flown by. You have such a fun, charming, and VERY intense little personality. You definitely know what you want when you want it and nobody better get in your way when you are trying to get it! You want to be much older than your 5 short months, but I am holding on to each day with you. You are so truly loved by so many people. You absolutely LOVE people, especially the big kids. You will sit and watch them for hours on end.
You have been eating solids for a full month now and you are loving every bit of them. You now eat rice cereal, bananas, apples, sweet potatoes, squash, carrots and your new food today, which you love, sweet peas. You are such a good eater, maybe even too good. You still get up once in the night to eat. However, you really don't even want our help anymore holding your bottle, you are such a big boy, you want to do it yourself.
You LOVE, LOVE Dixie girl. She comes in the room in the morning to say good morning and your whole face lights up. Even if you are cranky and crying, one look at Dixie and you feel much better.
Everyone is still amazed by how big and solid you are. You have such large hands and feet! But above all else, your personality is the biggest. You love to smile and laugh at people and be out and about. In fact, you are not even fazed when we have to leave you with someone! You want to grab EVERYTHING in your reach and you are willing to throw yourself at anything not in your reach that looks interesting. You still don't quite understand what the big deal is about rolling over. You can do it, but don't see the big deal. You would much rather stand, or be walked around everywhere so you can look and grab. We love you so much and are having a blast watching you grow and develop!
