5 months

Samalicious is 5 months old today!! How the time is flying by. It's just not fair. You are growing up so fast. You are still such a content little guy.

You still smile at us every time we smile at you. But getting your smile on camera is proving to be a difficult task. We especially love your wrinkled nose smile. You are generous with your smiles, but stingy with your giggles. We torture you with tickles and we barely get a little chuckle.

We love the sweet little cooing "mmmm" sound that you make. I say that you are practicing to say "mama". This week, you have discovered your tongue. It's a cute little tongue sticking out at us. Mia is not so sure that you are being nice sticking your tongue out at her.

You had rice cereal for the first time the other day. You seemed to not be too offended over it. Only 2 shudders and a gag. Pretty good!

We think that you look so cute in this little Bumbo chair. It's been the best little seat for you. You like the view that you get.

We are feeling better about your ability to lift up your head while on your tummy. We have been concerned about you that. You don't like to be on your tummy so you usually flop over shortly after you are set down. You would much rather stand thank you very much! You award us with your big cheesy smile! You try to sit up whenever we prop you up usually causing you to tip all the way forward. The kids really think that is funny! You love to chew on everything! Fingers, hands, and toys. You love your bright toys. Your whole body shakes and you focus in that toy while trying to direct your little chubby hands to grab it.

We love you, our blue eyed boy!

Love, Mom
