5 Months Old

At five months, Jackson is loving his dinners. Rice or oatmeal cereal and then squash or sweet potatoes. Bland vegetables over single grain mush never tasted so good.

He loves to play with toys, hang out in his activity center (thank you Kendra and Caleb), roll over, and grab for anything in reach. If he achieves his goal, whatever he grabs ends up in his mouth. Yum.

He is generally smiley and happy, and of course, chubby.

His eyes are looking like they will stay this beautiful blue.

He is trying to sit up on his own now and can do it for short periods of time before toppling over.

He is still sleeping like a champ. Most nights he sleeps from about 11 PM to 7 AM, wakes up to eat, then sleeps in until about 10:30 AM. Perfect for giving his mommy time to grade and plan lessons.
