Zane at 5 Months
I had to look and see how much Smith still looks like his big brother, so I grabbed a few 5-month pics of Zane to compare. I love how Smith is starting to get his own look, but still looks SOOOO much like Zane did at his age. Scroll down to the previous posts to see pics of Smith and compare to these ones of Zane...
5 Months
Our sweet boy Smith just turned 5 months old. Yes, that's right! Smith is 5 months old. I know I always say that time flies, but it has been FLYING! I adore this stage, where babies reach so many milestones almost every single day. But I've also been feeling a tiny bit sad, knowing that Smith is our last baby, that I won't get to experience all of it again. I want to remember every single detail.
Smith makes our family so happy. He could not be more sweet. He really does put up with a lot from all of us - waiting for me to feed him, or lay him down while I help his sister and brother, not getting mad when a certain 2 year old and 4 year old get in his face non-stop, and going along with us to all of our outings. We love him so much and love what he adds to our family.
He's eating rice so much better now. I'm excited for fruits and
veggies, besides the fact that it takes so much time to feed him a
bottle and baby food! He is still just rolling over in his bed - he
gets stranded on his tummy with his arms straight out to the side. He
isn't rolling over in front of us on the floor yet though. He sort of
sits up on his own, with a little support. He laughs constantly and is
super ticklish. He laughs and Z and E all the time and squeals with
delight. He's started screaming when he gets frustrated. He gives us
slobbery kisses. He's starting to get sad when I walk away. Overall,
this kid is the greatest!
He likes swimming. Here he is with his Aunt Nell.
Look at this cute face! Irresistible.

Smith Abram
I had really great intentions to publish a big post for our little guy when he turned 4 months, and now he's closer to 5 months...better late than never, right?
At his 4 month checkup, he weighed 16 and 1/2 pounds, which seems huge to me, but was about the 80th %tile. His height was in the 97th %tile. So, let's just say he's a healthy growing boy who really likes to eat. Well, pretty healthy - besides that he's on antibiotics for the 3rd time in three months because of another double ear infection. I'm hoping that his Bronchiolitis, weezing with other colds, and ear infections aren't a sign of lot's of sickness to come.
During the past few weeks, he has really accomplished a lot. :) He has started eating rice cereal. Just two days ago, he finally got it. Now, he shakes in anticipation everytime he sees us get the bowl out and he's sitting in a highchair. He also popped out his two bottom front teeth. He just wants to be all grown up already I think!! And it sure does explain all of his constant drooling lately.
He rolled over once on his own, but hasn't done it again since then. He's gotten close. He kind of likes being on his tummy a little more now but gets fed up after a few minutes. He is really good at holding and playing with toys now - and is starting to grab everything! The kids have had to learn to keep their hair and other things away from his hands if they don't want them grabbed. Luckily, they still think it's cute and funny.
He also wants to be more involved in what we are doing. He's started crying when I leave him alone for a second and he gets sooo happy when one of us approaches him. He wants to be part of everything.
He is making lot's of new sounds. He says "mamamama" a lot of the day. He's also started screaming in joy and squealing a whole bunch. He is a VERY happy baby.
He tried the Johnny Jumper and loved it. He was cracking up. He did get a little overwhelmed at one point when both kids were fighting over who got to push him and swing him.
Here are videos of his first and second time eating rice. By the second try, he was already trying to help hold the spoon. Now, he's doing much better.
Here's Smith leaning over to see what Emmy was up to. He kept trying to take away her toy and she was laughing like crazy. Every time we sat him up, he leaned himself right over again.
Here are two super cute videos of Zane playing with Smith. I don't know which I like better...seeing Smith smile and laugh at his sister and brother or Zane and Emmy having so much fun with their little brother. I love when they're so loving to each other. I also like this first video because it shows Smith's excited scream.

Smith leaned over the whole time that he sat in his Bumbo so when we
tried to feed him, the rice just fell right out. Sitting up in his
highchair is working much better.

Just cute pics of a happy 4-month-old

Valentine's Day
Valentine's pics...
The kids took so much time creating Valentine's cards for their friends...they cut, glued, and used glitter, etc. Zane did all the writing.
They decorated cookies all by themselves and then ate about 2 bites and were done.
Frosting faces
I think they like sprinkles.
On Valentine's Day, we had a fun lunch with all our buddies. They had heart sandwiches and strawberries.
The kids, minus two more little ones who weren't there. It always makes me laugh when kids are crying in pictures but everyone but Smith seems really happy.
Zane took this pic of the moms

Swimming
Swimming day!
Check out this drooling machine!
Zane likes to wear his life jacket shirt and a tube and Emmy just wants to jump in without anything.
I think this pic shows their personalities so well.
