5 Months

This coming Wednesday my baby boy will be 5 months old!! I figured I better post something now, because who knows if I will get to it this week. It has been so crazy with school starting, I haven't had much time to take pictures or post anything on my blog. I promise I will do better, especially since we are getting a new camera soon. :) Anyway, this past month Spencer has had many "firsts" both good and bad. I will start off with some of the good things: 1. He started rolling over!! Yea!! 2. He loves grabbing at his toys and is starting to play/interact more. 3. He started eating rice cereal. 4. He started "school" at a wonderful caregivers house and LOVES it. 5. He can sit and play in his Excersaucer for a longer period of time.
Now, to some of the not so great firsts: 1. Mommy had to leave him for the first time, since she was going back to work. 2. He got sick the first week at school and mommy had to take him to his first "sick" appointment. 3. At the doctor we found out he had a ear infection and had to start breathing treatments. 4. He had to take his first antibiotic, but doesn't mind it much. 5. He has to be away from his brother all day. (You should see the hugs and smiles when the two of them reconnect at the end of the day!) :)
As, you can see this past month has been quite busy for us, but we are adjusting. Spencer is such a happy baby and is growing so fast!! It has been hard leaving him, especially since he has been sick. But, I am at peace because I know he is being nurtured and loved so much at his caregivers house. She never forgets to tell me every detail of his day when I pick him up and I love that. She said she has been taking pictures of him like crazy, so when I get those I will for sure post them.
Happy 5 months Baby Spencer, you are such a JOY!! We love you bunches & bunches!! :) XOXO
