{Grayson:: 5 Months}

Dear Grayson Oliver,

 You are 5 months old today and growing up so fast and just more and more fun everyday. 

 You and your brother are becoming quite the buddies. He LOVES you a LOT and you are starting to think he is OK. This past month you have started to smile when Ryker plays with you and you think he is quite silly. Lets be honest we all think he is quite silly. He loves to hold your hand and play peek-a-boo with you. 

 We had a rough month of sickness and even though you had a yucky cold and could barely breathe you still had a smile on your face. You have started "talking" a LOT more but no longer say "goo" which makes me sad. That was my favorite sound you made. 

 You are getting super close to sitting up on your own. You can do it for a few seconds and then get too excited or too tired and flop back wards. 

 You can not STOP chewing on your fingers and whenever you get the chance you LOVE to chew on mine also. 

 You also discovered you feet this month. You love to kick them like crazy. It is super hard to get jammies on you because of this. You also love to hold on to them and you think it is silly when I kiss them. 

We are happy that you are still alive. Ryker has had some close calls with "loving" you too much this month. Daddy and I are doing our best to keep you safe. Sadly you have turned into a terrible sleeper. You are have been getting up every 1.5 to 2 hours through the night and it is killing me. We have even tried to let you cry it out some and that has not worked. But we did figure out a way to hook the mobile on the pack n play and you LOVE it! We can lay you in your bed and you will go to sleep. You don't have to only be bounced to sleep anymore. THANK YOU! You also slept 3 nights in the big crib in the same room as Ryker. You did awesome with that. Ryker on the other hand was getting up too much and waking you up so we will try again once Ryker is sleeping better. You are enjoying tummy time more and can spin 180 degrees on your tummy.  We love you so much and are so blessed to have you apart of our family. 

Love, Mama
