For Roman- 5 months has brought lots of new things. A big boy high chair, a grown up drinking cup, a johnny jump up and a hair cut!
Although he isn't able to drink out of the cup, I have started to let him discover how to put it to his mouth, hold onto it, etc. It usually ends up in his eye, nose or on the ground. But he enjoys trying to figure it out.
He helps me clean off his face after eating.
He also isn't all that ready for his johnny jump up but when mom gets bored around the house and needs entertainment, we toss him in there and watch him spin!! He does okay with it, but the dog is nosy and wants to know what all the commotion is about. As he continues to develop better head and motor control- he'll be a pro at this in no time.
Here are the incriminating photos of him with his new hair cut. I took some scissors to his hair to try to find the balance between the long wispy strands that keep growing and the bald spots on his head. It doesn't help that he never stops moving. But at least his hair is out of his eyes.
At 5 months he has about mastered rolling both from tummy to back and back to tummy. It is an accomplishment for him just to think that it is a good idea for him to be on his belly. Crawling is a thing of the distant future. Not sure we'll master that one soon- but it isn't from lack of trying- just lack of patience. He gets frustrated so easily when things don't go as planned (wonder where he gets that from?). He continues to find his voice and just when I don't think it can get much louder- it hits a whole new level and pitch. He is sleeping fairly well at night- 6p-3am on average and then up again at 6am. He has been better about learning to put himself to sleep both at night and during naps but as I am writing this he is upstairs in his crib refusing to remember how to do it. But he never ceases to meet you with a smile when he wakes from his nap or is rescued after an hour of crying. He is a happy boy (when he is getting his way) - but couldn't ask for anything better :)
