Henry 5 Months Old

Over the past two months Henry has made the transition from a sleepy newborn to a smiley, cooing, chubby baby.  He is an absolute joy!  He is super laid back and is a very easy baby to care for.  He very rarely ever cries.  He is sleeping through the night (9pm-6am) about 75% of the time right now, naps well during the day, and nurses about every 4 hrs or so.  He is just full of smiles...smiling at any one he sees.  He is also cooing and babbling a lot these days.  He will giggle if he's tickled or even if he sees Grace or Nicholas do something funny...it's so cute to see the things that crack him up at this age.  He likes his play mat, bumbo seat, johnny jumper and stationary entertainer but of course he would much rather be held.  He's admittedly a little spoiled but he deserves it!  He likes to chew on his hands, and will also reach to grab toys and put them in his mouth now.  He is drooling a lot but no teeth yet.  He has rolled over a couple times in each direction but it is very rare that he rolls.  It is amazing how such a small little baby can transform  your family, making it more complete and happier, but Henry most certainly has done this already for us.  We love you sweet Henry!
