Happy 5 Months Jackson

I can't believe that our little boy is almost half a year old! This last month has been so fun. Jackson started cereal and stage 1 baby food right after his 4 month appointment. To say he enjoys it is an understatement. He wasn't crazy about rice cereal mixed with his milk. He kept spitting it out. We went ahead and started stage 1 baby food (bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas and applesauce) and he digs it :) Lately I have mixed a bit of his cereal in the food and he doesn't seem to mind. The only food he's tried and didn't like were the peas. I don't blame him. Those things were stinky. Jackson is constantly chattering. It's so sweet to watch him carry on a conversation. I'd love to know what he's thinking! His teachers said one day he just squealed out and got tickled during nap time. I'm so thankful that he's a sweet and happy baby.

Jackson's Stats

19 lbs 

27 1/2 inches long 

***These stats are estimates since we did not have 
a 5 month appointment***

I do weigh Jackson with me from time to time though.. 
he's at 20lbs if not more!

such a clown!

What do you want Mom!

Laying down is much more fun!

My sweet angel

This past month Jackson mastered rolling from stomach to back. At first he used to roll from back to stomach but he doesn't do that nearly as much as the reverse. We are working on sitting up on our own. He hasn't quite figured out how to prop himself up with his hands while sitting. He still topples over. Jackson enjoys playing in his door bouncer and exersaucer. He naps well at home in his crib but I've been told he refuses to nap in his crib at school. I think we have a social butterfly on my hands :)
