My baby boy is 5 months old

I remember when Ansh was only a week old thinking about how I wish he’s stay this little forever, but I can honestly say that every month just keeps getting more and more fun. I’m really hoping this continues forever. Or until he turns 14 and inevitably decides that his mom is no longer cool. For now, I love (absolutely love) the way he looks at me, as if I’m his hero.

My happy, sweet, adorable, lovely, darling baby boy is 5 months old. I’m going to freak out next month when he’s halfway to being 1 year old! I’m SO not ready for that. He still seems so tiny and such a baby to me. I’m going to have such a hard time one day when I realize how big he’s gotten. For now I’m in denial. Im enjoying my “infant” (supposedly they are “infants” until they are 6 months old) cuddling him closely, and soaking up all the love and attention he gives me. I know one day, not too far away, he will be crawling and then running! I want to remember all of him, every inch of adorable baby fat, every deliciously chubby wrinkle on his leg, neck and tummy; the way he smiles at me right after he’s fed, his soft silky hand brushing against my arm or chest as he nurses, the energetic happy kicks he does all day long, his squeaks, yelps, and giggles. The way he looks for me when he’s uncomfortable, as though he wants me to rescue him and hold him close. The smell of his hair, his cheeks, and his breath. The softness of his tummy, his bums and his feet. The way he is ticklish now. His tiny little neck and his pointy chin, his delicious lips that are always rosey and so luscious and filled with drool, the way he puckers and sticks out his tongue. The way he wraps his arms around me and holds me in his tiny hands. The sweet sounds he makes to let me know he’s awake from his nap. His eyebrows always have such a concerned look on them when he’s curious. He is calm in crowd and crazy at home. He is so playful, so cuddly, so loving, so gentle, so excited, so so sweet. I want to remember all of it. I wish I could. I already have forgotten so much. I know it’s not possible to remember every single detail…. But I want to so I keep updating my blog.

My sweet baby boy, Happy 5 month. Now let’s freeze time and stay here for a longer moment…. Because I’m pretty sure this is my favorite stage. Although I’ve said that every month of your life.

This past month (things to save for my memory):

·         He rolls around everywhere. Sometimes I find him sideways or facing the opposite direction

He loves people and being held

·         He went through the 4 month sleep regression

·         We fought jet lag for nearly 2.5 weeks

·         He doesn’t complain about mosquito bites as much as his mom does

·         He watches TV without blinking (just like his dad)

He still loves his baths

·         His current favorite toy is STILL the piano

·         He’s not a big fan of loud noises

·         He still adores his feet and pulls his socks off so he can suck on his toes as often as possible.

He still raises his finger while sleeping. Just like this :) It's so adorable, I could eat him (sometimes I wonder, how do people not end up eating their babies ;))
