The Ry Guy Report: 5 Months

Ry Guy celebrating pumpkin season (thanks to my aunt for the adorable hat!)

Weight 17 lbs (got the scale fixed... looks like I over estimated last month)

Length  25 inches

Milestones 

• Rolls halfway over (from back to side, but can't quite make it all the way over yet).
• Sits up with support.
• Grasps and shakes objects (he's got a good grip!!).
• Sleeps "through the night" (by clinical definition - more than 6 hours at a time.  But, since he goes to bed around 7:30, this still means I get up to feed him in the early morning, then he goes back to bed until around 7 a.m.).  But, this is a vast improvement.
• Is increasingly interested in eating (loves to watch Mom and Dad at the dinner table).
• Starting to exhibit teething symptoms.
• Mimics Mommy's funny faces (sticking tongue out, etc.)

Likes 

• Chewing/sucking on his fingers... preferably as many at a time as he can cram in his mouth.
• Seeing what's going on.  All the time.
• His toes.
• Sitting up.
• Drooling... puddles.  On everything.
• Burrowing his face in Mommy's neck when he's tired.

Dislikes 

• Napping.  He is doing better with falling asleep at night, but daytime naps are still a real struggle.
• His carseat (or anything that requires him to be strapped in and reclining).

The Quotable Ry Guy  "[belly laugh] or [scream]".  Depends on his mood. :)
