5 months

Yesterday Brody turned 5 months!! I cannot believe how big he is getting. It is such a happy baby and I have LOVED every moment of this summer with him. I'm so blessed to have this time at home with him and will soak up as much as I can of my last few weeks of summer.

We actually had to make a trip to the doctor's office because Brody was running a fever anywhere from 100-101.6 since Sunday.

He weighed 15 lbs 1 oz! That's 6 oz in 3 days!

They pricked his finger to draw blood to check his white count and that was the saddest thing ever! He already felt terrible and then the nurse had to keep squeezing his little finger to get more blood and oh he cried and looked up at that nurse like why are you doing this...it was such a pathetic cry! Brody has another virus, this is the 2nd one in two weeks! His fever broke over night but it's now back, lower than yesterday though so I think he's getting a little better. If he's still running fever tomorrow I have to take him back in.

What you are doing at 5 months:
- You now love your cereal and vegetables! It definitely took you a few weeks to warm up to cereal and get use to it but now you cannot get enough of it and get so excited when I put a bib on.
- You are rolling over from back to belly all the time! Especially to reach for toys
- You take your paci out and put it back in
- You love to reach for your bowl when I'm feeding you, toys and people's glasses
- You found your scream and temper...you are a lot like your mom!
- You are VERY weary of men, you have to warm up to them and sometimes you just won't have anything to do with them.
- You are saying I love you and Hi (I know most people thing I'm tripping but you really do say it)

Love you sweet cheeks!
