5 Months Old

Alex is 5 months old now. He weighs just over 17 pounds and is getting so big and strong. He rolls over on his stomach in a flash and is scooting all over the blanket when he has tummy time. He is trying so hard to crawl but hasn't figured it out yet...he scoots backwards. He pulls his legs up under his bottom and he can get up on his hands in the front but he hasn't figured out that if he does it all at the same time he would be crawling. He gets a little closer every day.

Alex also tries to climb up you while you are holding him. He is constant motion and loves to stand so we got him a walker last weekend. It is a motorcycle and has lots of lights and buttons and sounds that he just loves.

Alex and Travis are getting closer every day. Travis is a good big brother but I knew that he would be.

Travis loves it when Alex talks to him and laughs at him and Alex thinks Travis is VERY entertaining. I don't know who enjoys it more when they play together.

My boys all went for a run this week trying to get Travis ready for Cross Country try-outs.

Alex got to run with Daddy in the new jogging stroller and really liked it. He was very content rolling along and letting Daddy do all the hard work.
