Reed's 5 Month Update

Dear Reed,

We can't believe you are 5 months old already!  Time seems to just be flying by and you are growing up way too fast!! 

You are an absolutely delightful baby.  You giggle, coo and smile all of the time.  You are rarely fussy and are easy to calm when you do fuss.  You are very aware of what is going on around you and you especially like to watch your big brother and Bear.  You spend a lot of time on your tummy and seem to enjoy it.  You like to play with toys a lot.  

Your sleeping has gone downhill since last month!  You have been getting up 1 or 2 times a night to nurse.  You still do well for your naps and you are able to put yourself to sleep when we put you down for the evening.  I think I will start giving you solids soon in hopes that you will sleep a little better.

You are wearing 3-6 months clothes but they are still very big.  You are wearing size 2 diapers.

You are also starting to get some hair!  You lost most of your hair and it is growing in a nice blonde color.  Your eyes are a gorgeous chocolate brown like your Daddy's.  You are a very handsome little guy!!

You fill our hearts with love and laughter.  We often talk about how your smile is just mesmerizing!  We just keep going back for more!!

We love you so very much!  You are a blessing to us and we pray you will grow up to love Jesus and serve Him.

Love,
Mama & Daddy
