Stone Osborne- 5 Months

Mr. Smiley, Happy, Buddy Bear--- 

Your five month birthday is here and what a wonderful five months it has been!  This month has been full of firsts and has been super busy.   As usual, you've rolled with all the craziness that life brings with a smile on your face and giggles---even with your first cold.

Firsts--- This month you've experienced a lot of firsts.  We ventured on a road trip solo, had your first cold (mommy did too...no fun!), enjoyed an afternoon swing on the porch, went to your first concert, saw fireworks for the 4th of July, visited World of Coke and your first brewery and last, but not least, you tried your first taste of solid food.  You've also made the move to sitting in the highchair when eating (which makes you seem SO big).  We've been busy!

Grub--- Milk is still the favorite, but Stone had his first taste of oatmeal and sweet potatoes this month and this little piggy loved them :)  Little man is now eating oatmeal when he wakes, followed by a 6 ounce bottle.  Then he has two more 6 ounce bottles throughout the day (usually every 4ish hours).  Around 6:30 pm is when he gets to eat his veggie- sweet potato for now, but I plan to introduce one or two new veggies every week.  Another 6 ounce bottle wraps up the day around 8:30 pm.  Guess this tells ya where all of his yummy rolls come from :)  

Nighty, night--- Our unwanted cold made for several nights of bad sleep in the beginning of the month (like letting the munchkin come sleep with us), but since all the snot and coughing has subsided, big man is back to being an awesome sleeper!  He give us 12ish hours at night and then takes three naps (totaling about 5ish hours) a day.
Stone, just like your big sis, you must have your paci and lovey for all napping and nighttime sleep...love to watch you snuggle up and drift off to sleep.

Loves--- The outdoors, bottles, exersaucer, toys, books, Lily (y'all had your first giggle contest over snack the other day...it melted my heart!), your thumb, bathtime, riding in the car and stroller, being held, swinging.  

You also get really excited to see me and Dada.  Your big smile comes across your face and you kick when you see us...it is pretty sweet and special.   

Another month has come and gone...these days are passing all too quickly.  You are a joy my sweet boy...We love you Stone!
