Geesh, again with the late posting, by the time I got a chance to pull the camera out yesterday there was no daylight left! But, we got month 5 photos in this morning!
Today The Kid managed to almost launch himself head first off the chair and barf all at the same time. Apparently month 5 is bringing out hidden talents! He is still so tiny, he fits in his 0-3 month clothes at 5 months. We saw a lady at the grocery store who asked how old he was last night and when we told her 5 months she gasped and said her 9-week-old weighs 18 pounds. Wow! We actually have to go to the doctor tomorrow because they are displeased with The Kid's weight gain. If we are lucky hewill be 12 or 12.5 lbs, so 18 pounds is still far off at 5 months! I think it just goes to show every baby is their own person even when they are this new.
5 months is really amazing, I love watching the new skills he seems to develop every day. He is so much better at entertaining himself, and watching him react to new things is about the most incredible thing ever.
Since he is down for a nap I am going to wrap this up quick and go get some work in (since the book deadline is approaching rapidly!)
He is absolutely darling! :)

Sooooo cute! My little boy is 17 today - goes so quickly - in the blink of an eye! He gained weight very slowly too but is now a strapping 6 footer so don't worry. X

Love the photo, love your patterns also! I'm currently up to my knees in dog parts...getting ready for a weekend of assembling!
On the tiny note...my little one was 7 months old wearing 0-3 month clothes weighing in at 14lbs. She was healthy, just tiny. I think we get to used to "super sized" and small wee ones look so much tinier!

Every baby IS their own wonderful little person - even when they're new. So true! What a cute, bright, handsome, adorable little lad!
My son's doctor was all unhappy about his weight when he was about 9 mo. old - below the 3rd percentile, blah, blah, blah. Never mind that he was gorgeous, healthy, energetic, hitting milestones and laughing and delighting. "I'm not happy," she said to us, asking what I was feeding him (anything he'd eat was the answer; like what did she think?).
So we got a new doctor...
...who looked him over and pronounced him wonderful. :o)
