I can't believe Jimmy is 5 months old! He is getting so big. He is now rolling over very frequently, though still almost exclusively from his back to his front. He can even sit up for a little bit, though he will inevitably topple over! One thing that Jimmy isn't doing is talking. He almost never makes "normal" baby sounds, like "ga," "ma," ba," or "da." If he makes any sound at all, it's usually, "ah" or bubbly sounds. So I'm not sure what's up with that! Maybe he figures Ms. B does enough talking for the two of them! He's getting better-behaved in church, and he seems to have settled on a couple short naps during the day. One in the morning, then a longer one in the afternoon. Sometimes he'll snooze in the evening for a bit too. I'm hoping to get a decent nap routine in the summer, so we'll see if I'm successful. He can spread out the eating now, when he wants to. But now he gets very distracted if I try to read to Ms. B and feed him at the same time, so that hasn't worked out very well. Some of his current likes are:
Bouncy Balls (even just watching them bounce amuses him)
Smiley faces - he will almost always smile back!
Being sock-less! Let those little toesies be free!
His giraffe - yummy!
He LOVES to grab newspapers and things to chew on, which is quite fun... actually, anything he can put in his mouth he loves, particularly his fingers!
Dislikes:
Being ignored for more than a couple minutes... a couple seconds if you actually leave the room!
Putting clothes on, although he gets over it quickly
Loud noises - can't blame him there.
Hair, apparently! He's losing it all! My poor baby looks like he'll be bald soon!
