Goodness Golly, Zayd's 5 Months

We started out the day the way we always do, lazily hanging out in Mommy's bed. Since Zayd wakes up so ridiculously early, it doesn't matter if I am working or not, there is always time for snuggling as the sun starts to peak through our blinds. (More on sleeping in the next post - Zayd has a new penchant for waking up at 3 or 4 am!)

It was only 76° at 7:30 and I scooped up the lentil and we headed for a walk around the neighborhood. I am extremely melancholy to report that Zayd-pie can no longer sit in his stroller with the hat on - he is too tall!

After morning bath and "nap" time (again, a post on this child's refusal to sleep is forthcoming) we sat to play with our new favorite toy - a Sit to Stand musical wonderland.
Zayd seems to think that he is old enough to stand at it, but he is silently supported by mommy's hand. I propped him in the bumbo so he could lean forward and have full access to all of the noise making delights, but he thought my propel was much more interesting. He tried to tip it up and "drink" from it the way we would. This kid learns quickly, let me tell you!



Finally, here is Zaydie wearing himself out before bedtime. He spends quite a bit of time in this everyday because he seems to always be on the go!
So, what all has changed in the last month?
  • Zayd can now "talk". It is more of a shriek but it is adorable and we love the shriek at each other. I will admit that he likes talking to his daddy best...
  • He can roll over and over and over till he hits a "wall".
  • He loves to chew on his feet.
  • He loves to jump in his jumparoo.
He just has a ton more personality and a grip stronger than pliers. So, keep your hair up, don't let him get his hands in your mouth, and you'll be fine. Also, keep your nose away from his mouth, or he will start nursing on it.
