5 Months (& 1 week)

This post is a little overdue, so I figured I'd better hurry & do it before life gets too hectic (which it will with Anthon's birthday, our wedding anniversary, & Father's Day all in the next week)!
This boy is growing up so fast I can hardly stand it! Everyone always said he looked like a little man when he was born, but now I see it & I'm sad he doesn't look like a new baby anymore! He FINALLY will eat something other than milk; he'll eat any baby food that I make (especially summer squash!), but so far only likes green beans & carrots from the jar. He's discovering new things around him everyday & seems like he's always watching us to learn more! He's addicted to Baby Signing Time (seriously though, what kid isn't?? It's like baby crack). Sometimes, he will give us kisses when we ask him to- he grabs our faces & literally makes out with our cheek!! It's really wet & gross, but SO sweet at the same time! And, my favorite of all... he loves to play with (not pull) my hair! He just kind of twirls it in his hand & coo's at me... it's the CUTEST thing!! Anyway, here are some pictures of some other new & exciting things:

We took him to the lake over Memorial Day (I know, I'm a loser & never posted about it!) It was a lot of fun, even though his life jacket tried to eat him.
He did swim in the water with me & Anthon a couple of times. What a good sport! Poor kid has to love the water with me as his mommy.
He's getting stronger at his push-ups & tries to scoot all the time. He still rolls over instantly when he's on his back, & then screams cause he hates being on his tummy for too long. It's frustrating for all parties involved :)
This is his version of a lazy boy- this is how he chills while watching his "baby crack". I loved this shot cause he looks festively plump! (Gwen, say it in Cartmen's voice- you know you want to :D)
