Not So Little Anymore

We've reached another "Miles-stone" :). 5 months.

I find it odd how quickly I've forgotten what life was like prior to our addition.
Was it only 5 months ago that we still didn't know if we were having a boy or girl?

When I think of 5 months, it just seems sooo much older than 4 months...I don't know why.
At the beginning of the 4th month he was just a little baby... and now, well he's a BIG baby.
At his last doctor's appointment he was 75th percentile in weight, but 97th in height!  LONG!

But I feel like I'm trying to keep him little. I want to just hang on...

I don't want him to have to start accopmlishing things.  It's nothing but hard work from here on out, buddy.  Daddy's going to try to make you crawl and walk long before you and I are ready!

So far Miles' biggest accomplishment has been rolling, he's done both ways. But then he got fatter. Or lazier. He prefers sitting up now.

But what he lacks in physical accomplishments, he more than makes up for in socialness. It seems he's a cream-soda kid of sorts. Easy-going with lots of bubbles. He has these big eyes that search your face and than instantly light up when you so much as glance at him. And the squeals, wow! He is so squealy right now! He has a whole repertoire of squeals, each with a specific purpose.

 

 

I'm glad only God knows his future. Because right now I just want to hold him close and protect him, keep him small and never let anything bad happen to him. Maybe I have issues. When the time comes for him to "grow up" I'm sure I'll be ready then. But for right now, he's just my baby still. Although I have begun planning his 1st birthday.... cause it's never too early to start plannin' for a party!!!

 

 

P.S. This post is late. I'm blaming it on the unfortunate and untimely death of my computer. Miles is now 5 1/2 months and rolling every which way at the blink of an eye!
