We have some great friends who live close to us, Richard and Francesca. They have a baby girl who was born a little over a month ago. Kyle and Richard brainstormed and decided that for Mother's Day Fran and I would go out shopping on Saturday while they tended the babies and made us a nice dinner. It seems like a simple gesture, but any new mom would probably agree that as much as we love them, getting out to the mall without your little one is a treat. Not having to deal with the diaper bag, stroller, figuring out how/where to feed, etc...is a nice break. So off we went! We came home to two happy babies, roses, and a delicious dinner. It was a great first Mother's Day!
It is hard to believe our Caleb is 5 months already. I know this phrase is overused when it comes to babies, but seriously where does the time go? The weeks are flying by. He is such a happy, sweet boy; we feel very lucky to be his parents.
Here are a few of the things Caleb is doing at 5 months:
- Laughing and babbling
- Sucks his fingers...and basically anything he can get in his mouth (including his toes)
- Rolling over both ways
- Drooling constantly- I think teeth may be in the near future?
- Standing with support. He gets a very proud look of accomplishment when we help him stand up.
- Lifts up his arms to be picked up
- Loves doing 'super baby' when we hold him up in the air
- Loves looking at himself in the mirror and watching phone videos of himself
- Having slight stranger anxiety, but not too bad yet.
