Lucky in Love: 5 Month Update

Today was one of those days that I just felt so lucky to be Caedmon's mom... and so incredibly blessed that I get to stay home with him this year and watch this fantastic little boy grow.  Nothing special happened today. We didn't even go anywhere during the day, which is usually a recipe for major cabin fever and stir-craziness.  No, we just stayed home, and played... read books, engaged in an all-out tummy tickling and giggle fest, danced to corny children's music, and scratched at different fabrics and surfaces around the house (one of Caedmon's favorite games). 

I never thought I'd enjoy staying at home as much as I do... doing so much of nothing, haha.  But I get to nurture and care for my baby who is growing up before my eyes!  And that's far from nothing... it's everything! 

Caedmon turned five months on Sunday.  Some milestones he reached this past month... he's rolling both ways, all over the place, sleeping through the night (from 7 to 7!), and recently started sitting on his own.  Some non-milestones that I never want to forget... Caedmon LOVES being naked.  Whenever we strip him of his diaper for bath time, he squeals and laughs and has the biggest smile on his face.  He also loves the arm of the glider.  It's one of his favorite "toys"... not his stuffed hippo, nor colorful teething ring, or even the ever popular Sophie Giraffe.  Nope, it's the arm of the glider that has really caught his fancy, scratching it and mouthing it to his heart's delight.  Go figure.  And just yesterday, he stuck his foot in his mouth.

Yeah, I'm just a little bit head over heels for this little boy...  Just as a mama should be.

 

 

 5 Months!  Not the kind of solids I envisioned starting on, though...

 

Me and my little man!

 

He loves that upholstered arm...

It's Naked Baby!

 

Sitting like a big boy!
