5 months
frederick is 5 months old today and i can’t believe it! time flies. he is quite the 5er – 5 weeks early, 5 lbs. 5.5 oz.
he continues to be such a joy in our lives. he is getting more and more alert and curious and it is so fun to watch him. he smiles easily, laughs occasionally, and is generally a very happy and content little boy. his new tricks include drooling constantly, rolling over, chuckling, and having long conversations that consist of a lot of oohs and aahs strung together. he also likes to ooh and aah along with me all the way through a song – maybe a way of telling us that he’ll love to sing when he gets older? things he has loved in the past month: baths, hikes, walks, being read to, being on his changing table, playing with his toys, putting things in his mouth, being sung and talked to, his hands. he went on two trips this month. the first was a road trip to pasadena to visit our funny friends the bertagnas. he did great in the car – he is always such a champ! then he came with me on a business trip to phoenix and was spoiled rotten by my parents all week. sarah also came to phoenix for the weekend so he got to see her too. he is such a lucky boy to have so many people that love him and shower him with attention! we still can’t get enough of him and love him to pieces. christian and i often fight over who gets to hold him, which i find extremely comical.
soon he will be 6 months old and we are looking forward all of the fun things that brings – solid foods, swim lessons, and putting him in his baby bike seat.
p.s. i realize the number of pictures i put up has grown exponentially but it is too hard to pick! i have taken thousands of photos i think it is a bit out of control. 🙂
