Leo is 5 months!!!!!

Leo is now 5 months old!!! When I brought him home from the hospital, I never thought I would make it this far! Trey and I knew our lives would be different, but it is still so weird to think we are parents. We have learned so much in the past 5 months!! We have been through two colds and one long week of a stomach bug, (of which he gave EVERYONE in the family, and he did not leave out his Grammy and Pops in Memphis!) I now know the recipe of the miracle diaper rash cream.....it cleared his bottom up so fast and he was so much happier!!!


Leo has started eatting baby food...is favorite is squash (he didn't get his taste buds from his momma.)As of now he eats green peas, green beans, and squash. He did not like sweet potatoes and carrots did not agree with his stomach....so we will be trying those again soon. Everyone warned me that feeding him would be a huge mess.....will Leo doesn't let much come back out of his mouth! He is a very clean eater.


Most of the time he is sleeping though the night, but occasionally he wakes up around 1 or 2 in the morning, usually nights we really need the sleep. Trey is a wonderful daddy, and gets up with him probably more than I do. He says he would rather me get the sleep so I'm not grouchy!! We usually put him to bed around 9 or 9:30 and Trey or I wake him up around 5:30. On weekends he usually sleeps in til 6:00...(which until recently I did not consider sleeping in).

He is growing up sooo fast. He grows out of socks and diapers every other week (by the way he is in a size 3 huggies and eats similic advance formula:).

He has started rolling over and is trying his best to scoot. He is starting to sit up by his self for like 2 seconds. His favorite thing to do is play with his dogs Kat and Chloe and his kitty cat Lavern. They love him. He loves to pet Lavern and she curls up beside him. Chloe loves to lick him, and he likes to ride on her. Kat is still unsure about playing with him, but she is very protective and is always right by me when he is crying or guards him while he takes naps. She lays next to where ever he naps and growls when they Chloe or Lavern get to close. She will often sniff him, like she is checking for him breathing. If only she could give him a bottle and change his diapers she would be a great babysitter!!!


Trey and Leo will chase the girls around the house, Leo thinks that is funniest thing. He also likes folding clothes and vaccuming. He is amazed by the TV....we are wearing out our baby einstein dvds and I've never watched ESPN so much in my life!!!
Leo loves bathtime.....and of course Kat, Chloe, and Lavern have to help out everynight!! This is his new bathrobe and houseshoes from Aunt JoAnn....
