Happy 5 months to my sweet boy!

Tucker is 5 months old today!  He is the most amazing blessing we have ever received.  God is so good!  Here are a few things I want to remember about him at this age:

1.  He is rolling from back to tummy, and has rolled from tummy to back once.
2.  He LOVES the jumping exersaucer...will jump for an hour straight and just smile and giggle with you! (but he really wants you to be in the room and talking to him about it - he doesn't want you to leave him in it for even a second and go in another room).  He also really enjoys the bouncy seat that rocks - my aunt got it for him and it's probably right after the exersaucer in his list of favorites!  You will see photos below if him in it a lot - it's just the perfect size and also he loves that it rocks and vibrates.

3.  We have started putting him in his high chair when we eat dinner...this way he can get used to it before he starts using it to eat from.
4.  He now sleeps on his tummy and sleeps pretty much through the night...waking up at 4:40 to eat and go back to sleep!
**Side note - this photo below is how I found him sleeping last night...he fell asleep about 7:15 and I thought it was just for a short nap, but he never woke up, so this is what he slept in!


5.  We are working on sitting up, but haven't quite mastered that yet.  Unfortunately he is so big that his bumpo is uncomfortable for him to sit in because it squeezes his little legs.
6.  He is in 9-12 months clothes and is really filling them out!
7.  He LOVES it when daddy comes home from work - he gets such a sweet grin on his face and it's just so special! I know that this will just get better with time.
8.  He has figured out where his ears are and likes to pull them and chew on his fingers.
9.  He is so handsome in BLUE!  His eyes are so pretty, and they really stand out when he wears blue, so it's officially my favorite color for him (along with his daddy), so there will be a lot of blue wearing around here for my boys!
10.  He is such a happy baby!!  He honestly only fusses if he is hungry, needs to be changed, or is tired.
11.  He takes his second nap of the day in our bed.  I love snuggling with him to get him to sleep - it might just be the high light of my day!

12.  He still loves his bath time.  He is outgrowing his baby bath (really he already has), and we are venturing into the big bath tub...but since we aren't sitting up by ourselves quite yet it's somewhat hard, but he loves every second of it!

Happy 5 Months Tucker Wiley!  
We love you!
