Five months old

- 1/19 He rolls all the time now from back to belly, usually when he's mad/upset about something
- 1/20 He rolled on to his belly last night and scared Mommy, but he slept that way the rest of the night
- The 2nd week in February he started to fully grasp things - He's not too ticklish, but laughs hardest at his brother and sister; he thinks they are the funniest things ever!

- He refuses a bottle now, which makes it pretty much impossible for Mommy to go anywhere for more than 2 hours :(

- Now that he's rolling so much, he sleeps a little less. He's now waking up once or twice a night, when before he was sleeping through the night (we think it's because he rolls over and wakes himself up).

- Speaking of sleeping, he sleeps every which way now: on his back, on his side, even on his belly. Though, most often it's on his side (with his head tilted back :)

- Mommy loves that he still fits nice and snug up against her when he eats. He brings his knees up and puts his hand on Mommy and fits perfectly!

- He has to be buckled into his car seat immediately or he will wiggle out every time (he pretty much cries the instant we put him in there, but then is ok after he's all buckled in...most of the time :)

- He has already outgrown all his 3-6 mo clothes...well at least the onsies; some of the pants still fit him. All his length must be in his torso.

- He's getting some fuzzies for hair now. Maybe if Mommy stopped rubbing his head it would grow in faster :)
