5 months old Nov 19th 2008



















Today our baby boy is 5 months old. I took him today to get weighed (17.9lbs). He's growing like crazy. He can sit up by himself! He does great with his balance. He still topples over eveyonce in a while. It's a work in progress. But he's doing great for being 22 weeks. Burke LOVES to jump. Ever since I put him in that jumper he wants to do it all the time. It makes him so happy. He reaches for his toys using one hand and likes to put everything in his mouth. When we eat he just watches us. So we started putting him in his highchair while we eat. He just plays with his toys while he's in it. (We aren't giving him any food or cereal yet. Maybe around 6 months.) Burke still does great at night sleeping anywhere from 8-12 hours straight at night. He takes 2 naps during the day. Burke is very chatty in the morning when he wakes up. He likes to motor boat and raspberry with his mouth he has also figured out how to blow air out (like how we blow in his face). He also enjoys playing the piano on his activity center. He's learned a lot in the last 5 months!

Good job little Burkey! You are such a big boy sitting up all by yourself, keep working at it and you will be a champ. I hope you can give Meredith a few pointers at Christmas! See you soon.

Love, Autie Courtney
