5 months!!

Colton was 5 months old on Thursday...it's amazing how quickly time goes by! He's growing like a weed, but unfortunately has had a cold all week. Grant is just getting over strep throat. It seems like someone is always sick at our house these days, but I guess that is how it is going to be until we get through the fall and winter! Thankfully despite having a cold, he is still sleeping and eating well and has been in a pretty good mood for the most part.

He rolls over constantly these days and mostly sleeps on his side or tummy because as soon as you lay him down, he rolls over. We got out Grant's exersaucer and he loves playing in that. He wants to try to stand up more and more and loves chewing on all of his toys. He drools constantly! He trys to "talk" to us and makes the cutest little sounds. 

He absolutely loves his big brother! He watches everything Grant does and will actually stop crying if Grant starts talking to him and playing peek-a-boo with him. He laughs out loud at Grant all of the time:) It really is the cutest thing to watch!

We haven't started any solids yet, but probably will within the next few weeks. He is still eating around 6 ozs 6 times a day and is a great sleeper!! (Every time I say/write that, I am afraid I am going to jinx it!)

He loves his teacher, Ms. Dorothy, and she is so great with him. He is definitely the teacher's pet:)  I am so thankful every day to have such a great place to take both of them! It makes such a difference to know that they are happy, safe and learning so much all day while both of us are at work. Colton is amazed by all of the "big" kids and Grant loves showing off his little brother:) 
Check out the drool:)
The exersaucer makes it easier for these two to play together. I hope they are always best friends!
Sweet baby boy
Colton's hair is really growing and is getting darker and darker!

Grant's hair also grows so quickly...someone really needs a haircut!
Such a big boy!

Grant's silly face:)
