Henry is 5 months!

Oh man, I can’t believe my baby is 5 months old! He is seriously sweeter than ever! How did we ever get so lucky?!

Henry now can roll over both ways! He was only rolling over from his back to his stomach, which is kind of backwards, but now he rolls from his stomach to his back (only in his crib, though). He loves his exersaucer best. And he is constantly interested in whatever we have. No more eating when he’s on my lap, he goes right for what I’m having.

Still doing great with cloth diapers (I just have to not slack on laundry). And he’s still exclusively nursing. So many people ask me why I haven’t started cereal, and really, it’s just easier this way. He’s getting all he needs already, so it’s not a necessity. And once he starts food, it will just be one more thing to pack up for him, to add to our schedule, to have babysitters do. So, I will gladly put it off. We’ll never be able to go back once we start!

This month Henry had his first trip to Chicago! We’ve only traveled with him one other time, so it was fun to do. He was so good and easy going. We are so fortunate that he makes everything so easy on us. He loved looking at all the buildings when we were walking around. Chicago has always been such a big part of our lives, so it was so fun to bring Henry there!

And so far we are having such a great time celebrating Henry’s first Christmas. I know he won’t remember it, but I love all of the traditions we are starting with him. And I’m already looking forward to all the years to come!

And now onto the cutest little babe of mine!
