5 Months!

Well my baby boy is 5 months old! I cant believe it...where has the time gone. He is really starting to look more like a little boy than a baby!

Brett is already such a BOY! He is busy, busy, busy, ALL THE TIME! He is constantly reaching for stuff, pulling my hair, smacking my face, or punching something. He can sit up all by himself and  gets really excited when he is sitting up- the kid has some serious lungs!  He can bear all his weight on his legs, and can even stand up holding onto something! As strong as he is though, he still doesnt roll tummy to back yet.....well he has once but we dont put him on his tummy that much so thats probably why :/

He eats 3-4 tbsp of oatmeal cereal every night and a fruit or veggie. He LOVES bananas, sweet potatoes and apples. We tried peas tonight for the first time and he threw up...literally! He really hated them...so we had sweet potatoes instead :)

Brett cut 2 teeth the week of his 4 month appointment, I know right? That is so early! He still loves chewing on everything so Im wondering if he has more coming soon?? I am still breastfeeding and have yet to be bitten :) Hopefully we can keep going wihtout incident!

Sleep is OK....on good nights Brett sleep 7:30-4 and other nights he wakes up at 2 and 6ish....and then slwwps til 7:30. Im still able to function and can't bear to let him cry so its working for us.

Brett is just so much fun and I love him more every day! Here are his 5 month pics and some others of what he has been up to!

WARNING: Picture over load!

Today was Brett's Baptism! It was such a perfect, wonderful day with family and loved ones! I was good and didnt cry, but I did get a little teary eyed. It was so sweet and Brett was an absoolute angel!

He was so cute and touched the preacher's face when he was walking with him. It means so much to me to have my baby baptised and I am so glad we got to share it with out whole family! Brett fell asleep after his part and slept almost the whole time. Then we went to my parents house for lunch and Brett got LOTS of love from all the family!

He wore a precious white romper with little satin shoes! It was exactly what I had envisioned for this special day!

How you know Im a mom.....

• My hair has not seen a hair dryer or flat iron in over a week. (Yes I have  washed it, but it takes way to long to style it!)
•  
• My laundry consists of black yoga pants, tank tops and sweats. (I work from home so I can get away with this!)
•  
• My Columbia fleece has never seen so much love!
•  
• When I go to Target, I completely bypass the clothing section and head straight for the baby aisle...gotta love the $4 table :)
•  
•  I feel like a queen when I get to sleep more than 3 hours in a row
•  
• Our living room looks like Toys R Us the day after Christmas....and there is no point putting things away that will be pulled right back out the next day.

•  
• I have not changed the sheets on our bed...even though there have been more than enough spit ups, diaper leaks etc within the last week
•  
• My email is filled with deals from Carters, Babies R Us and Groupons where it used to be filled with shop it to me updates and Victorias Secret order confirmations.
•  
• My highlights are 2 months over due...and I dont really care
•  
• My iphone has 6873723872368764283764 pictures of the CUTEST baby in the world.
•  
• In my purse, you can find a pair of socks, a few paci's, a rattle, a bottle cap and a diaper....in addition to the ridiculous amount of grown up items that are in there.
•  
• I no longer watch the Today Show in the morning. I now turn my TV to the disney channel for Mickey Mouse Playhouse....and can sing along with ALL of the songs!

I absolutely LOVE my lfe and LOVE being a mamma more than anything. Its funny how things have changed and the things that you thought were so important are so easy to give up!
