But my sweet boy has the best smile. It just radiates through the room, making this stage so much fun too. There's always something good about the next stage that takes the sting out of losing the former one..a little bit. I just always want to remember the smell of his baby head and the high I get from kissing his squishy cheeks a thousand times a day, before this stage too, is just a memory.
At 5 months Jonah can sit up with support very well, and independently for a few seconds at a time. He can roll from his back to his tummy in an instant, so the diaper- time gymnastics routines have begun. He still gets stuck while trying to roll from belly to back, although he has made the flip out of frustration a few times. He is learning new things every day! Physically though, his growth has slowed down. My little chunk is already thinning out a lot, especially around the tummy.
Bubba J got his first 2 teeth a couple of weeks ago, and got his first taste of food last week. While angrily teething I had let him gnaw on a tortilla and a breadstick at different restaurants, so that I could finish my own meal. Well that made him want to snatch any and all food out of my hand when we eat, so I started him on baby oatmeal.
The dr had recommended that we start cereal for the iron soon anyway, because breast milk starts to lack in that area around this time. I'm so glad I have been able to exclusively nurse him this long, and hopefully will be able to continue until a year, but I've already been able to go longer without formula than I did with Avery so I happy with that!
Anyway, he loves the cereal and gets soooo mad when it's gone! He acts like he's been eating off a spoon his whole little life. He tried avocado now too and loved it as well. Hopefully he will always be a good eater!! I'm excited to make him some more baby food this week.
We are so excited for fall and have lots of fun things planned in the next month, including a 3rd birthday party and trip for my special little lady, who is certainly becoming the dreaded "threenager" lately. Good Lord, give me patience and grace for this one's sassy attitude! More on that later.

Loves his Jumperoo!
