A chunky 5 month old

 7.2.2012
Jace is 5 months old!!

People say time flies...and it's the truth.  I think especially when it's your second child and you don't have as much time to dwell on their every move.  Jace is such a chunky monkey baby...we think about 17 lbs.  When I'm carrying him, it feels closer to 30.  I get my arm workout in every day with this guy.

He is wearing size 3 diapers (we just graduated H up like, 2 months ago, from a size 3 to a 4...) and wears 6-9 month clothing! He wears some of the unisex clothing at 5 months that Haylie wore way after she was walking.  The difference in their sizes is amazing.

I love this smile.  He smiles more and more each day, but lots of times you have to work for it.  It already shows his more serious personality.

Jace is sleeping through the night.  We give him a 6oz bottle right before bedtime and that seems to fill him up enough to fall asleep.  He usually doesn't have a paci for long.  More and more lately he's just spitting it out.

This is his usual look - scared and why am I in this?? Although he is getting more interactive with his exersaucer and is figuring out some of the toys on it.

Rolls upon rolls...I just squeeze his chunkiness whenever I can.

He is pretty happy most of the time. He does scream like a girl and yells a lot too, but nothing like Haylie.  He's just trying to communicate and usually when we (finally) figure it out, he goes back to being happy.


Not yet sitting up or rolling over, but he is working on it.  He is really getting the rhythm with his legs and using them to play with and kick at toys.

He has started teething as well.  Nothing is popping through yet but his hands are constantly in his mouth and he even sucks his thumb for occasional relief.  I change his outfits a lot because of all the drool. 

Jace is still such a wonderfully, easy baby.  There have been no major curve balls with him and has been easy going for the most part.  I'm thinking this next month will bring a few milestones - which I'm really looking forward to!
