Axl is 5 months old today!

1 month old 10/19/2008
2 months old 11/19/2008
3 months old 12/19/2008
4 months old 1/19/2009
5 months old 2/19/2009
Things are still going by so fast! Nothing huge happened this month. It started off great with Axl not having to go to the neurologist because we figured out his arching was caused by reflux. He still takes Zantac twice daily and it seems to be working well for us. He started rice cereal this month and is completely obsessed. He eats 3 tablespoons twice a day, but is mad every time he realizes it's gone. He smiles literally all the time. We made it through our first sickness this month and that's what was hardest on both Tyler and me was not seeing him smile. Our old Axl is back now, though, and is grinning more than ever. He's now pretty ticklish and I can get him to really cackle sometimes. We're not swaddling him anymore and he wakes up more often but still does fairly well, eating 1-2 times in the night.

When I picked him up from Leighann's today she showed me that he really liked one of Xanthan's toys. Since he turned 5 months today, I used it as an excuse to go and buy it. It was a good purchase, though--he really does like it :)

WOW! Already? I'm serious... these babies grow up WAY too fast!

I so love the pics of Axl next to the teddy bear -- what a great "measuring stick"! :) It's amazing to see how fast they grow!
