5 Months Old

Blake Denver - FIVE Months

• He now is now almost 15 pounds!
• He is now wearing 6 month clothes.
• He is growing...I hope because he is waking up again at night to eat and be comforted...
• He is down to only three naps during the day.
• He laughed for the first time on his five month birthday :) Best gift ever!
• He love to "talk" and has a very sweet little voice.
• He loves looking in the mirror at his reflection, and looking at mom or dad too.
• He found his toes, and plays with them all the time.
• He accidentally rolled from his back to his tummy...real ones haven't happened yet.
• He rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time (on his 4 month birthday).
• He enjoys play dates with many of his friends...well they will be someday :)
• He tried baby oatmeal for the first time...we are going to try again next month.
• He loves to be naked; he will talk up a storm and wiggle all around when he is.
• He yells out before he has a really big sneeze.
• He celebrated his first big holidays: Halloween and Thanksgiving.
• He loves Christmas...I don't know for sure but since I was singing "Deck the Halls" when he laughed I think that is a pretty good sign.

What a month to be thankful for. So thankful for my family, our new home, my friends, my church, Jason's job and so many more things. We are such a blessed family; I thank the Lord that He is taking care of our needs and providing for our family.

Happy Thanksgiving from the Bernard Family!
