He's 5 Months Old

Yesterday marked 5 months for Charlie. He's a very happy baby. On average he sleeps 11-12 hours straight each night. He's eating 6 ounces of formula at a sitting and still dabbling at eating cereal and vegetables; although not a big fan of them.


His fingers are a new found discovery. They are either in his mouth or he's moving them around a lot.
He's also recently found his tongue. He loves sticking out his tongue and enjoys laughing and scrunching up his nose, that's definitely new for him too.

Baby Model

Charlie is being a good sport about having his photo taken. He's my baby model. Some of you know I'm taking a photography class so each week my homework is likely to include photos of Charlie. Here are a few photos from this week...

He's Got a Grip on It

Now that Charlie is 4 months old we are starting to see that he's developing a grip and suspect he may be left handed. He can now hold toys, shake rattles, make fists and use them to pound (especially on my shoulder when he's tired and fighting sleep).

Story Time

Charlie really enjoys books. Is this to be expected from the son of a teacher? He's so little but he is definitely engaged when he we read him books. It's almost as if he knows what we are reading to him. He even attempts to want to turn the pages.

Mmmm... Peas Please

Charlie is trying to understand what to do with the food we put in his mouth. He's open to us giving him food but still is unsure of what to do with the stuff in his mouth. I guess it all takes time.
