5 Months Old - Yeah!!!

I apologize it's been a little while, but things have been super busy around here lately. This past weekend Ben was sick with a fever and ear infection possibly, although that went away the next day so we weren't too concerned. He still has a stuffy nose and he has since past this nice bug onto his dad so now I have two sick boys. Wonder when I'll get it....

The weekend before my dad came to visit and stayed with Ben and I when Brian was out of town. Ben loved his Papa time!!! In fact, the night my dad was gone Ben was much more fussy - I think he was a little spoiled :)

Anyway, Ben is officially 5 months old and doing well. He has sort of mastered the art of sleeping on his stomach. He loves to sleep that way and normally he is out when he does, but sometimes when he wakes up with his butt in the air he doesn't like it. Luckily he's getting over that and sleeping better again. Plus he's so cute when he's sleeping like that with his knees tucked under him. (I know - I'm biased)

We've also started giving him rice cereal and he has mastered the art of eating it. In fact, he enjoys it and laughs the whole time. It's very entertaining!! He's also now reflux free!!! No more drugs - yeah! Although the last month he was on zantac he didn't mind the taste of it, it appears that us pinching his cheeks was the real culprit for his screaming. Oops. We'll learn this parenting thing eventually.

Here are some pics of the past month - click on the pic below for the slideshow.
