5 Months Old!

Cohen is already 5 months old!  Time is just f-l-y-i-n-g by....and I hate it and love it; all at the same time.  I hate that my little baby is getting so big and not acting so "babyish" anymore but I love watching him learn and do new things. 

What has Cohen been up to this past month? Well, let me tell you he has been busy!!!
As far as firsts this month......
*Cohen got his first tooth.....and boy is it sharp!
*He took his first trip to the beach.
*He tried rice cereal.....which he hated!  After the first time, I quickly decided to just skip the whole cereal thing and go straight to fruits and vegetables.  He is doing much better and seems to like pretty much everything I have given him.
*Took a nap in his own crib for the first time (I know, don't judge).
*Rolls from his front to back AND back to front.  He REALLY likes to sleep on his stomach....which makes me really nervous.  If I lay him under his play gym, he will roll over to his stomach and go to sleep....so sweet!
*Started saying "mamama".....which I love.  Of course, I realize that he is just making sounds but I still love to hear it.
*Grabs at EVERYTHING!  He is a hair puller!
His hair is coming back.....and it is soooo blonde.  He is our blondest baby at this age for sure!
I don't know Cohen's exact weight because he doesn't have a 5 month appointment. I am guessing he weighs around 18 lbs. He is wearing 6-12 month clothes and size 3 diapers.
 He has some CHUNKY legs and we love them!  Speaking of chunky legs, he is sooooo ticklish.  Pretty much anywhere you tickle, he will laugh but his fat little legs are especially ticklish.
He is still loving his thumb.  Every once in a while he will really go to town on his paci but for the most part he would prefer his thumb.  It is so adorable but I just don't want him to be 5 and still sucking on his thumb!

Gavin and Nolen say all the time, "Cohen is the best baby in the world"!  We are just all completely in love with him.  I just feel so blessed to get to be Gavin, Nolen and Cohen's Mommy.  They are all different and alike in so many ways.  There is never a dull moment around here....and I wouldn't have it any other way!
