Dear Nugget

Another month has slipped by, 5 months, how does it go so fast? Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about you getting out of the newborn phase and into the baby phase, especially since it means you're SLEEPING! Thanks for that, by the way.

You:

Roll over

Smile

Laugh

Watch everything so intently

Know when someone isn't there anymore and you don't like it.

Love your big brother

Like it even more when he makes you laugh

Are so patient

Until you aren't

Suck your thumb, humph

Still.spit.up. It drives me crazy.

Just started oatmeal cereal and we'll just say that your thumb and I are going to have quite the love/hate relationship.

Play peek-a-boo

Still have blue eyes

You are a joy and we all love you so much. 

You are growing and making so much noise these days. You and Cameron seem to have a language all your own. The teachers at school love on you all day, every day. They laugh at the routine (or should we say performance) that you and your brother give them daily. The drop off, the loves, the way that Cameron touches your feet and gets right up in your line of sight to tell you what to play with and then give you a kiss goodbye.  He tells you to have a good day and it makes my heart melt.

Thank you for an incredible first 5 months. Thank you for being so chill and giving us all the time to adapt from a family of 3 to a family of 4. Your round us out perfectly sweet boy. 

We love you to the moon & back, 

Mom
