5 months yesterday

i cant ever seem to blog on the actual day of the important event... but here's to one day late. i promise more pics to be coming soon... but for now, here is what porter is loving to do these days, at 5 months and one day old.

1. suck his toes. all the time... even with socks on.
2. roll over and over and over. he is like a sidewinder -- except instead of slithering he rolls to get whatever he wants. his school has noted on his check out sheets several times that they think he will be an early crawler...
3. smile and giggle. its amazing.
4. make gurgling sounds every time i put him on the changing table. every time.
5. move all the time. seriously, he is constantly wiggling, reaching or rolling.

i think because he is always moving, i am starting to view the night time wake ups a little differently. he occasionally sleeps through the night, and when he doesn't, i am starting to cherish the sweet times of feeding and rocking him back to sleep in the quiet of the night. i know someday i will wish he was tiny and wanted to be rocked and cuddled. trying to soak up this stage without wishing it away.

5 months is so fun.
