Luke is 5 months!

for a whole week already! i've been so busy. doing lots of little things, can't even list everything exactly. i'm so tired but feel that so much still has to be done before i go back to work (side note: woot woot, I got a job! the job i've been wanting. bittersweet i tell ya!). i'm seriously already thinking about luke's first birthday (and no! i'm not one of those that has to make a huge spectacle of first birthday's.. or maybe now i am?!).

back on subject. luke is 5 months old already!!! i can't even believe it. he's such a big boy that i can hardly even remember when he fit to snugly in my arms, i mean, he was even to small to fill up all the space. those days are long gone and he's not even half a year old yet :(

this is what he's been up to lately:

- 19 lbs 10 oz, 27" long

- still sleeps 10 hrs/night. he's thrown a couple wrenches in, once waking at midnight to eat, and a couple days of waking at 6am and 7am to eat (normally wakes at 7:45am). not complaining.

- rolled from back to tummy at 1 week shy of 5 months and 2 days later rolled from tummy to back.

- started the army scoot a few days shy of 5 months.

- sat unassisted for 30+ seconds on his first attempt at 5mos 2days, he can now sit alone for mins at a time.

- tolerates tummy time a little bit more, still not crazy about it though.

- fave toys are sophie, mr. winkel, mr. tummytime snail, crinkly teething book, and crinkly bug teether/vibrator; basically anything with a mirror on it or that he can shove in his mouth.

- still naps faithfully with the GloSeaHorse; sometimes stretches his usual 1 hr naps to 2-3 hrs.

- LOVES loves loves to play with daddy. daddy can get him to smile and laugh in .2 seconds!

- eagerly watches mommy and daddy eat (so close to being ready for solids).

- growing out of his infant carrier :(

and here are some pics of him at or around the 5 month mark... isn't he just so big already ::sniff sniff::
