5 months

Happy 5 months sweet boy!  You continue to be such a joy to our family and I love watching you grow and learn new things.  This month was busy for you in many ways, but mostly because you traveled to Texas for the first time and were there for half of the month.  You were a trooper in the long car ride and did great sleeping in several different places, we were so proud of you and relieved :).  Then of course when we got home you didn't want to take naps as well but I think that is partially because you were teething.  You've really taken to tummy time and won't stay on your back much for long when we lay you down and you've tried to get your knees under you several times already.  You are also grabbing, grabbing, grabbing everything!  You started rice cereal a few days before your 5th month birthday and you loved it!  You even started crying when you wanted more and I thought you were done, ha!  You know how to use your voice and can go from zero to full throttle screaming so fast, you know what you like and don't like for sure!  One thing that you love is watching your big brother play, if he's in the room your eyes are on him.  You adore him so much and I pray you both will continue to be such good friends and buddies as you grow older.  We love you so much Matthew Ryan and can't wait to watch you continue to grow and change as the months go by. 

Love,
  Mommy
