Hi everybody – I’m five months old today!  Although there’s no official check-up this month, I’m just getting over a case of bronchitis, was diagnosed with pink eye on February 25, 2016, and an ear infection right after that, so I’ve made it to enough doctor’s appointments recently to know that I weigh about 17 lbs.

When I’m not visiting the pediatric after hours clinic, my hobbies include trying (only semi-successfully) to sit up.  I also figured out how to roll from my back to my front on February 15, 2016, although I frequently roll only as far as my side and then hang out that way for a while before flipping to my tummy.

I’m vocalizing the occasional consonant (mostly b or m sounds), but mostly I choose to express myself through coos, shrieks, and blowing raspberries.

After trying apples as my first solid food on February 21, 2016 I’ve also tried sweet potatoes, and liked them too!  I’m still working on the mechanics of eating … I spend most of my mealtimes reaching for the spoon and trying to jam it into my own mouth, but very little of the food winds up being swallowed.  Fortunately I don’t appear to be starving …

Current likes: Chomping on anything that comes near my mouth

Current dislikes: Consistent sleep (Mommy and Daddy are tired!)
