3, 4, 5 ....

and just like that, I suddenly have a 5 month old who's sitting and talking up a storm and just the happiest little thing that can be!

But first we re-cap month 3 and 4 that got skipped due to having a 3 or 4 month old!

3 Months: 

 This was the month that he started liking his toys and crying when he dropped one!

This was also the month that we figured out how to help him not cry from 6 pm to 11 pm every night! Mommy stopped eating eggs and he stopped crying! It was pretty much a miracle!

 He slept from 10 pm to 6am twice this month ... it didn't stick of course!

 He started rolling onto his side from his back to reach for toys

Not into tummy time at all ... can you see the stress in his face here? 

Month 4: 

 This boy's personality can alive this month! He's totally a people person! Always wants some one to talk to!

 Still haven't rolled over completely but the dr. said that's normal for big babies because they have a whole lot more weight to get moving!

 He's 20 pounds and 27 inches this month!

 Really enjoys sitting up on mommy's lap and is much, much happier when on his tummy!

 He started sucking his thumb this month - it's adorable! He wraps his fingers around his nose and goes to town sucking on his thumb!

5 Months:

 This month his personality has continued to blossom and he has actually become quite the ladies man! (He now has a number of little girls who love to kiss him and could care less about Bennett!)

 Mr. Big Stuff still hasn't rolled over - well he did once, but it was an accident and he scared himself to death and hasn't done it again in the last two weeks!

John-Paul is however, all about putting his toes in his mouth and sitting up and "inch-worming" his way around his bed and the floor. He is also wearing 9 and 12 month clothes (depending on clothing brands and if he has a cloth or paper diaper on).

Despite what you may think from these pictures, he is actually the happiest when naked, and makes no attempt to hide his laughter durring diaper changes and showers!

 Due to his extreme "girth" John-Paul is no longer in his infant bucket carseat. He officially moved up into Bennett's old carseat on the 5th of May when we got our "new-to-us" Honda Odyssey!

 This last week he starting making the "Da-da-da" sound! It's very cute and he's very proud of himself and of course Daddy is loving it!!

 Lastly, I'm pretty sure teething is in full swing ... as is brotherly bonding and mimicking!

We love you John-Paul, Mr. Squishy-Tushy! 

If you missed month 1 or month 2 be sure to check out the cuteness!
