I think I say this every month, but really???? 5 months has passed since Ryan was born!?!? I think that's just crazy talk, but just in case it's reality, let me update you on our little fella!
First of all, he is the sweetest thing and quite an easy baby! I am SO thankful that the Lord answered my prayer to spare me from the grips of another colic baby and I am thankful each day for the peace and comfort Ryan seems to be filled with! Onto where he is right now...
a whopping 22.5lbs!!! Yes ladies and gentlemen, our 5 month old weighs more than most 1 year olds! Everywhere I go people comment about his size and his cheeks... I mean really, you can't miss them!

Along with wearing 12mo clothing (still some things fit that are 9, but we're just trying to get the most use out of them at this point!) here are some other things he does/enjoys:
-jumping in his jumperoo
-tummy time (big improvement)
-watching mommy cook from his high chair
-eating (as if that's surprising!)
-playing pattycake
-standing holding our hands
-sitting up (on his own for a good 30+ seconds)
-reading books in mommy's lap
-holding his own toys
-eating his fingers (here come the teeth!)
-being held!
-sitting in his bumbo seat (mommy likes this one!)
He is quite the chatterbox, always cooing and waving his hands around. You can sit face to face with him and talk back and forth for minutes at a time which, I assure you, is quite precious! He hasn't rolled over yet, although he has made some full effort attempts at rolling from back to tummy (not the usual way to roll first) and I'm pretty confident he will achieve that way quite soon!
We have started with baby food, doing the homemade thing this time around. We are yet to try something that he doesn't enjoy, and though we still have lots to sample, success has been found with carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, cantaloupe, banana, and avocado (his favorite!). He is really getting good at watching all that's going on around him, following us from one room to the next.
His favorite thing to do is watch Logan!
Here he is watching him build Lincoln Logs with Grandpa:
The "newness" of baby brother has NOT worn off for Logan one bit and Ryan doesn't ever seem to mind!

Happy 5 months to our sweet baby! We love you Ryan!

Love the photos :)
The boys are precious! You are so blessed
I bet you almost hear a "shlurp" when you try to get him out of the bumbo! Landon didn't last very long in it, for that exact reason! :)
FYI, had to go to the doctor for Landon today...my "big" boy is 32lbs!
