Rhett is 5 months old!

This squishy, precious boy is 5 months old!  I took Rhett to the pediatrician on the day he turned 5 months old because I thought he might have an ear infection (he didn't) and got to see how much he weighs… over 19 pounds!  Big boy.   

Rhett is definitely a momma's boy, but he is getting a little bit better about letting other people hold him.  He gets his feelings hurt if I put him down for very long.  He has the BEST smile and when he's happy, he's really happy.  When he's not, he's really not. ;) We tried out the jumper this month and sometimes he kind of likes it, but he doesn't seem too impressed overall.   I think he's at the age when he's a little harder to entertain - not sitting up yet, but getting bored laying down.  Rhett loves watching Reid and Georgia Kate play, giving big open-mouth kisses, and his lotion.  We put lotion on several times a day now due to his Eczema and he LOVES it so much!  He is drooling and chewing on everything he can, so I expect a tooth to pop through any day!  Rhett learned to roll from back to stomach this month and unfortunately that means we've entered the phase of rolling onto his stomach in his crib and then screaming.  Once we get him settled, he usually ends up on his side and often sucking his thumb!  Rhett has transitioned to usually taking three 45ish minute naps a day, sometimes four.  We are still waking up all night long most nights and trying to figure out what to do about that, but this sweet face makes all of the sleepless nights more than worth it...

Rhett, you are such a blessing to our family!  We are so thankful you are ours!!!
