Five Months Old

Matson at five months: He rolls ALL over the place. I've never had a baby roll all the way across the room like he does. He rolls until he hits a wall and then screams until someone comes and saves him....then he starts rolling again. He is very active and kicks his feet and tries to jump out of my arms when he sees something he likes. He squeals when he sees other babies and you can just tell he wants to play with them.

We broke out the saucer and he thinks it's pretty cool, although the toys are a bit overwhelming sometimes. :) He's pretty much decided that he prefers to be held all of the time and carted around the house wherever we go. We've tried every type of "chair" there is....the bumbo, johnny jump up, saucer, etc... and he isn't really a fan of any of them.

He is still a happy little guy. This is what I see when I go to get him after a nap. It doesn't get much better than that.

The highchair is his preferred seating arrangement, if he can't be held. His very favorite toy is books! He loves to open and close them, look at the pictures, and of course eat them. He loves to be read to and babbles and kick and tries to grab the pictures right off the pages.
