Crawford, at five months old you...

• are absolutely edible. 

• have found your feet. You love to play with them, especially when you're on your changing table.
• have officially moved to your bedroom full time. We've packed up the pack and play and put the house back in it's original condition.
• don't like to actually sleep in your bedroom. That's a bit dramatic, but your night time sleep has seriously regressed since moving to your own room. Technically you stay in bed and don't eat for the entire night (about 7:30pm-7/8am) usually, but we have been going in to readminister your paci about 3 times a night for the past few weeks. I know, I know... it has to stop. We're working on weaning you off your paci dependency this week. It started today.
• love to chew on your hands and fingers. We're expecting to see some teeth any day now...

• are very tactile. You do the most adorable hand scratching on every surface you can get a hold of. You do it to me while you're nursing, and it is the sweetest thing ever.
• make some awesome noises, including a high pitched shriek

• rub your eyes when you're sleepy. It kills me!
• laugh so much. We can usually get you to laugh with a game of peek a boo or by blowing in your face (sounds cruel, it's really not).
• can sit in a high chair at a restaurant... sort of. 

• love watching Harley. Unfortunately, he could care less about you. He doesn't often come really close to you because you've grabbed handfuls of his fur a few times, and he's learned his lesson.
• have awesome fat rolls.

• have never met a stranger.

• have a lot of greasy hair (like your mom and dad) right down the middle of your head (a la Mr. T)

• manage to poop and/or pee out of every diaper we put you in at bedtime. That definitely adds to the middle-of-the-night fun we've been having lately. We've tried every kind of cloth and disposables (sometimes with a cloth cover!), but nothing seems to work like a charm. Oh, and you've been pooping in the middle of the night. What's up with that?!
• Speaking of poop, you still go in just about every diaper I change. You maybe have one just pee diaper a day. Dude.
• can sit up by yourself for about 10 seconds at a time, if propped juuuust so

• are super ticklish, especially on your back and feet!
• say "g" and "m" sounds. You definitely don't know what you're saying, but "mamama" comes out of your little mouth and makes my day!
• recognize it when we say your name.
• are so smiley, happy and friendly. We love you more and more each month. I never thought it was possible!
