John Thomas Got the "Boot"

Well...we finally broke down and put JT in his own room in his own crib tonight at bedtime. We made a deal that we would kick him out of our room and start putting him to sleep in his crib when he turned 5 months old. Believe it or not, he turned 5 months old yesterday! But we totally forgot about the deal. Oh well! One day late is not too bad. He is right across the hall from us, so I am sure he'll be fine. It'll just be weird (and sad) not to be able to sit up in bed every morning and look over at him while he's jabbering and playing with his feet in his hands smiling at me.

He takes naps in his crib during the day, so maybe this transition won't be too tough on him. He's a big boy now...he can handle it! 

Ok, so solid foods have been interesting. So far, pears have been his fave, I think. He did not care for mommy's homemade banana baby food, and sweet potatoes he couldn't care less about, too. But prunes, pears and now carrots, he seems to like! If he's anything like his Mommy, he'll eat just about anything.

He got more sweet potatoes on his face than
in his mouth. He fought me with these...no likey

Mmmmmmm...PRUNES!!!

It's so hard to believe he's 5 months old now. Time really does fly, and they REALLY DO grow so fast. If only they could stay little a little longer. The more he grows, though, the more he looks like his Daddy...I think. Maybe it's his style? He's very cool like his Daddy when it comes to "fashion." ;-)

Look at that STUD MUFFIN! Hahaha!

And he LOVES to wear maroon...there's just something about that color...it looks so good on him! ;-)
