Damien is 5 Months Old!

Damien is already 5 months old! Time sure is flying by. Damien's 5th month was marked primarily by playdates and visits with his grandparents. He hosted the Klein family for an action packed three day weekend, then jetted off to LA for a last minute trip (the Klein's were going through withdrawal and Mommy's maternity leave was almost up) and finally made a trip to Chicago to see William (Yum, Yum) and Locey (Lo Lo). He's a baby on he go.

Developmentally, Damien continues to change before our very eyes. He can now sit up unassisted on the couch or a chair for a little bit, he loves to stand when you hold him up, he has great hand control with his toys and can reach for toys, pick them up, put them in his mouth (his FAVORITE activity) and then pick them back up when he drops them. He's getting better at naps, not fighting them all the time, making put downs so much easier (usually). And he's still sleeping pretty well at night, from approximately 7:30pm-6am getting up once in the night for a bottle. And still growing like a weed. We don't know his stats, but he is wearing 9 month clothing and growing out of it quickly.

Well, it's a closely guarded baby secret!

OK, I'll give you a tip, you gotta take time to relax, and play!

And definitely smile, laughter is the best medicine =)
