5 Months!

Our little man is 5 months old!! (yesterday- July 4th).  Crazy how time flies (thankfully too- I love seeing him grow up!)

This month we started new meds- Prevacid- for his GERD.  The first day it helped!  He slept better, was less fussy and overall happier.  Some days he spits it up or doesn't seem to get as much and those nights are definitely longer.  But overall, he's much better....  we noticed he also doesn't scream as much in the car! (Branson will be our trip to test that theory, but he did great in TX and on the way home from airports)

Our newest challenge with him is his bed flipping.  He can roll all over the place during the day.  Due to his GERD, his bed is at an angle at night.  Put these two together and it's not a good combination.  He just started flipping to his stomach at night and decided that sometimes he doesn't like it.  Sometime he prefers his belly.... but the nights he doesn't can be long.

He's in all 6 month clothing.  He still loves chattering to Caylee.  He will try very hard to get something out of reach- I just know he'll crawl earlier than Caylee.  He started eating cereal with a spoon... we'll have to slowly move to veggies and fruits bc it might upset the GERD more.  He still won't sit on his own, but is getting better for very short periods.  Caylee was sitting by now, so I'm hopeful he's not too far behind.  I am really tired of cleaning spit towels all the time!!!! :) 

Micah still loves being held, standing up and having lots of attention.  He always wants to know where Caylee is and is happiest if she's near. 

I didn't get pics that were as good as last month, he wasn't much for smiling (except the few at the park yesterday).  However, Caylee has a little congestion and I noticed he had a little too- maybe just doesn't feel that well.  These pics were taken by the wheat field next to the house....








And some pics with Daddy....
