Andrew is 5 months old!

It's amazing how much Andrew has grown and learned in his first 150 days! He's always such a happy and smiley boy now! He's been putting everything in his mouth for the past month or so but now is really good at grabbing what he wants and holding onto it. For his 5 month birthday he accomplished putting his cute little feet in his mouth!

He goes to bed fairly easily now and is usually asleep by 8 PM. He'll usually sleep until around midnight then wake up for some milk, go back to sleep and get up again between 2:30 AM and 3 AM for some more milk. He wakes up for the day full of smiles around 6 AM. After about a week of trying the rice cereal we stopped giving it to him because although he was getting good at eating it I think it was making his belly hurt after eating it. He didn't gain as much weight as he should have between his 2 month and 4 month check up's (only 1 pound in those 2 months) so we'll be going back to the doctor on Monday for a weight check. We're pretty sure he gained at least a few pounds, you can feel it and see it in the chub he's getting on his thighs and cheeks. I'm not sure what the issue was during those two months but I think it was a bunch of things including starting school, getting his first bad cold, and getting into a routine. He still spits up way more than we think he should so we'll be talking to the doctor about that as well. Good thing is that it doesn't seem to bother him even though mommy and daddy could do without all the outfit changes and carpet scrubbing! Here are some recent pictures:
