What once we held as truth has been proven false.
Our sweet little peanut, Snow Angel, is 5 and a half months old! Can you believe it??! (I can't either.)
We were told "He's a preemie, so he will develop more slowly than a normal child... so don't be disappointed if he doesn't meet milestones as quickly as his brother did."
We expected that to be truth. He, however, has set out to prove us wrong.
At 5 1/2 months, the sweet Snow Angel does so many things....
holds his head up steadily, and can rest on his elbows with his head up when on his belly.
rolls over with ease.
chatters incessantly.
says "mama", "Ajo", "hi" and "i love you".
sits up, though not quite steadily just yet.
scoots and rolls everywhere.
smiles non-stop.
has two bottom teeth and is getting two on top.
plays with everything he can get his hands on.
eats very well - 4 times a day.
enjoys going to the park and watching his big brother play.
enjoys sleeping on his belly.
So far he has tried:
rice cereal
rice cereal with apples and bananas
bananas
mangoes
peaches
pears
apples
oranges
vanilla wafer cookies
peas
carrots
yellow squash
zucchini
white potato
yukon gold potato
sweet potato
chicken
It is absolutely amazing to watch him meet milestones... he is amazing.
His big brother is infatuated with him. He loves to try to show him new things...and talk to him. He helps us take care of him when he can. He shares with him.
I am literally in Heaven. Having two boys is so amazing. So fulfilling. They are my joy.
