Graham is 5 months old

Graham is 5 months old. He is always smiling and laughing. When we are out, people comment that he is such a happy baby. He is, except during some recent teething.

After much drooling and hand knawing, two teeth have poked through. Teething made him a bit grumpy in the evenings, but luckily didn't interrupt his sleep at all.

He eats around 6 oz. every 3 hours and sleeps for 11-12 hours at night. We still rely on our swing to lull him into a deep sleep before bedtime.


Graham is already wearing mostly 12 month and 18 month clothes.

He is making all kinds of noises and loves to 'sing' for us.

Favorite activities include knocking over towers of blocks that mama builds, chewing on plastic rings, laying under the trees on a blanket, pulling his feet up to his mouth, being carried in the baby Bjorn, and bouncing in the jumperoo. He grabs everything and is especially good at grabbing handfuls of mama hair.



He watches Ruby with the sweetest, adoring eyes and laughs when she jumps or plays peekabo.

He isn't interested in tummy time or rolling but can occasionally 'sit' for a few seconds before faceplanting into the ground.
