5 Months...


David Scott, you are currently:
  • 15.5 lbs
  • 24.5+ inches in length -- you literally won't sit still long enough for me to measure you.
  • wearing a size 2 diaper
  • a "supported sitter," but you have sat up, unsupported a few times
  • drooling non-stop.  Among our other nicknames for you, we also refer to you as Droolmaster 6000.
  • cutting 2 teeth.  On the bottom, your two front teeth are coming in.  We can definitely feel (and see) the one on your left coming through the gum.
  • mastering all of your musical, noise-making "things."  You've been shaking the rattle, but now, when sitting in your stationary/exersaucer/bouncer thing, you hit the keys to trigger the music.  You also hit the music-maker on your activity mat.  For the longest time, your arms weren't long enough to hit it, but one day we noticed that they were, showed you how to do it, and you've been making music ever since.
  • loving everything -- being inside, being outside, being awake, sleeping, splashing the water in your bath, being "splashed" while you're in your bath.  You are seriously the most content baby I've ever had the pleasure of caring for, or even met for that matter.
  • jumping all the time.  You jump while in our laps, you jump in your exersaucer, you jump in your actual jumper.  Perhaps you'll be a track star jumping the high hurdles like your Bud-Bud was.
  • eating baby food at dinnertime every night.  This last week was carrots, you've had a few nights of sweet potatoes, and you'll get to try out squash mid-week.
  • still waking once in the middle of the night.  
  • blowing raspberries -- you apparently picked this up from one of your friends at daycare.  Some people might stop their kids from spitting all over the place.  Not us!  We blow raspberries right back at you.  
Everything you do makes us either laugh or smile.  You are constantly amazing Daddy and me with your new skills and tricks.  You have the most expressive little face, the biggest, and most beautiful blue eyes, a heart-melting smile, and the most delicious little legs -- fat rolls, really...but oh so cute.  I tell you all the time that I don't know what we did to deserve such an awesome little man.  But I'm not questioning it, that's for sure.  We thank God every day that we have you in our life.  And although I'd like to stop time for just a bit, every day with you has literally been better than the day before.  Our life is infinitely better as a result of having you in it.  We love you! 

Love,
Mama
