Peter at 5 Months

Peter is 5 months...what in the world?!  I was looking at past pictures and he has already changed so much in just a couple of months.

he has long toes...just like his dad

Peter at 5 months...

eats baby food 2-3 times a day!  So far he's had rice cereal, carrots, banana & sweet potatoes.  This week I'm making more for the freezer!  He loves eating baby food and when I drop a small amount of water, from a straw, into his mouth.

is so close to sitting up on his own!  He can sit up on his own for periods of time, but usually falls over when he's playing with a toy.

does not like to be alone.  That's probably because he rarely is!  He plays great on his own, but always wants to be able to see someone.

has turned into a pretty good sleeper!  He always needs a nap in church so I'll swaddle him and put him down on a blanket.  He'll sleep like that for at least an hour even with all the noise.  

used to have one crazy long hair.  Seriously, it was probably 5 inches long and at times it would stick straight up.  It sounds ridiculous but I loved that little hair!  It was from his little patch of hair that stuck straight up in the back when he was born.  We finally trimmed it.  Goodbye little hair!  It made me laugh everyday.  

loves to watch his daddy.  When Tony gets home from work Peter's eyes are glued to him.  It's pretty funny that during dinner, even if I'm feeding him baby food, Peter's eyes are hard on Tony.  It must be because Tony is so cute ;)

is starting to be called Petey.  Sometimes.  Here's the thing- I love the name Peter.  I love it for an adult & a baby.  I really don't want him to go by a nickname when I love his real name so much. (and because Charlie & Joey only go by their nicknames)  But I hear Joey called Peter "Petey" at times and it just melts my heart.  As of right now, he's mostly Peter & sometimes Petey.  

We love our sweet Peter!
