You have decided to celebrate your 5 month birthday by doing not just one new trick, but three! You blew your first raspberry today "PLLLLLLLLL!". You started making a great new noise that you love, a "HHMMMMM BOO-BWHA!" sound that requires you to make a silly bird face with your lips.
The most exciting thing, however, is your triumphant first roll from your back to your front! You have been working on this for over a month, and we have many videos of you squirming, us cheering, all trying to get you to just...flip...get...baaah!So close! Tonight, right before we started to put you down for bed we thought we'd see if you would flip. And you did! And it scared the crap out of you! Your dad and I yelling like crazy probably didn't help with that.
In the end, I think you were able to do it because you were pants-less. Less to get in the way, I suppose. (Yes, that means this video features a baby with no pants, and once again Kelly, I apologize for showing your weewee off to the world).
You are a delight to be around - we constantly get comments from friends and strangers alike. "What a mellow baby!" "He's so calm!" "What a sweet boy!" You smile your huge smile and everyone melts. Believe me, you have your fussy periods, and these can exhaust me to no end. But you never fuss without a specific reason, and once the problem is fixed you stop and smile again.
This month it's finally sunk in that we are a family. It's hard for me to remember how we got along without you. Every day you grow a little more, show us something new. You've filled a hole in me I didn't know existed, and every day my heart gets a little bigger to make room for all the love I've got for you. I am a more complete person now that you are around.
Lets finish off the first half of your first year with some more fun.
Love,
Mama

Baby friends!
Jackson is your bff. No, you don't have a choice in the matter.
You love books. You love bookshelves, piles of books, looking at books, hitting books, eating books ...
You also love Wilbur. You will smile at him and watch him forever. He loves you too, and sleeps next to your crib during the day. He even lets you grab fistfulls of his fur.
