5 MONTHS TODAY!

I can NOT believe this little cutie is already 5 months old! Where has the time gone? We are loving him more and more each day and so happy he chose to be a part of our little family! My favorite part of his day is when Cash wakes up and comes in to our room and says "hey Griffi - hey griffi grew! how you doin' today griffi grew! it's me, Cash, your brother - i'm here now! i wuv you! hi griffi grew!" (yes, he does say all that, and sometimes more, every day!) Then Griff looks at Cash and smiles and smiles - it is so fun, and so wonderful having the kids be so cheery in the morning!

Griffin and Cash both had their 4 month checkup at 4.5 months, so easy for me to compare their stats!
Griffin weighs 14 lbs. 13 oz. (just 12 oz less than Cash did)
Griffin is 25.9" long (just 1 inch less than Cash)
Griffin's head is in 10th percentile (Cash's has been in 95% since his birth)

Starting out 2 lbs. lighter and 2.5" shorter, he is catching up quick......except for the headsize, and not sure that will ever catch up to Cash! But as the DR. said - looks like another tall, lean boy!
We like that!

Below are some pics of what Griff is up to these days at his 5 month mark!

Sitting in his high chair, eating his favorite treat - his hands!
With his small features, ears that stick out, and bald head he kind of looks like cute little old Howard W. Hunter, don't you think?

Grabbing for toys, and ALL food that is close by!

Playing with his toys, and looking at the lights!
Smiling, laughing, and babbling ALL the time!
Learning to stare right into the camera!
Giving the look of "are we done yet!"

Griff is SO smiley, loves to laugh at his brother, snuggle with his mommy, and be held upright when he is awake. He wishes he could sit up all the time, but will probably master that this next month! He is a good sleeper, and today finally is learning to take a bottle! YEAH! We love him and are having so much fun with him! I am grateful for the past 5 months and how easy he has been for me (altho at times i haven't always thought this), he is actually a very good baby!
