Paul

Here's what Paul is doing at 5 1/2 months...

• He has been sitting up for about 2 1/2 weeks...I think all that extra fat helps him from toppling over
• He still isn't rolling over! That is supposed to happen at about 4 months. He has rolled over 1 time each way, he just won't do it anymore. I'm not sure if hefting all that body over is just too much for him, or if he's just happy enough however I put him that rolling over isn't worth the trouble.
• He still isn't back to sleeping through the night (little turd) although I can't realy complain. He goes to bed at 7 and wakes up between 4 & 5 to eat (9-10 hours) and then goes right back to sleep until 7:30 or 8. He also takes about a 2 hour nap at 11 or 12 with Sammi and then another short one late in the afternoon. All in all it's working pretty well.
• He's still just as happy as can be and is very rarely cranky.
• He loves Samantha and will just sit there watching her forever.
• He laughs when she comes in the room and just breaks out into the biggest grin when she talks to him. He is also doing really well with his toys.
• He's able to hold on to a toy for quite awhile and pick it up if he drops it. His attention span with a single toy can be anywhere from 5-30 min.
• He loves baths and has learned how to splash by kicking his feet. He prefers to be in the baby tub because he gets to stay in longer, but I am starting to just stick him in the big tub more often since it's easier.
• He rubs his eyes when he's tired and burries his head in my shoulder.
• He isn't clingy (yet) and is happy to have anyone hold him.
• He has the BEST smile & we get to see it ALL the time!!
