Our little nugget is 5 months old today!
I cannot believe how fast the time has gone.
Five months of pregnancy felt like FOREVER
(and then there were still 5 to go...),
but five months of having a baby has just flown by.
Everybody told me that babies would start getting fun at around four months.
I was a little offended at that because I thought my baby was fun right from day one.
(Don't tell me my baby's not fun right now...haha oh geez...)
But seriously, Jaden has changed SO much in the past month.
He is so expressive, chatty and has the biggest smiles all day long.
He's also starting to laugh a little bit, which just melts my heart.
Other than trading in his pacifier for his thumb, I really have nothing to complain about.
He is SUCH a good baby with such a positive, laid back and observant personality.
So yep, four months really is when he has started getting SO fun!
Right now Jaden has a pretty full agenda every day.
The routine changes up a bit from day to day, but for the most part,
this is how a day in Jaden's life usually goes:
Wake up, diaper change, eat.
Start out on the playmat...
(Sometimes he even becomes a multitasker...)

Practice rolling over on the floor...
Then practice sitting up...
Either go for a walk in the stroller
or hang out in the swing while Mom does P90X or Hip Hop Abs...
Chill in the bouncer in the bathroom while Mom showers and gets ready for the day...
Throw in two, sometimes three, naps that usually end up being in the swing...
Get used to the high chair and rice cereal...
(Wow, we should be playing "Where's Jerry the Giraffe?" in all these pictures)

Some good ol' tummy time (probably the least favorite part of the day)
and of course we can't leave out the constant finger sucking...

And then there's the jumparoo of course...
And that's about it!
Of course there's the bottles, good conversations, a few tears and some diaper changes along the way.
But hands down the best part of the day:
When Daddy comes home!
As long as he doesn't encourage more tummy time, that is. :)
Then there's more playing and reading stories,
and of course bath time and time for bed!
Phew!
Busy day for a busy five month old!
We sure love him!
Love that little guy!
