5 amazing months!

I think I say this every month, but I cannot believe another month has passed!
I love watching this little baby grow into a little man, he is learning things so fast and has become very interesting to watch.
I am completely smitten with him!

At 5 months, Carter:
- is 15lbs 8 oz (slowest weight gain to date, 8 little ounces!)
- is 25.5 inches long
- is in 3-6 month and 6 month clothing
- is always talking and has even started shrieking and making all kinds of different sounds with his voice
- has started to raspberry and is sticking his tongue out now
- still has everything in his mouth, this teething process is ridiculous
- loves touching faces, and grabbing hair, clothes and everything else he can get his little hands on
- hasn't rolled over yet, but will get onto his side from his back
- still hates tummy time and usually results in puke all over the place
- is still a puker. We were doing good for a couple weeks and now the regular Carter Pukemachine is back
- loves laughing. Kissing his belly always results in major giggles
- loves playing in his excersaucer and jumperoo and jolly jumper
- still not sleeping thru the night, but he usually gives me a solid 7 hrs
- will splash in the pool when he sees someone else splashing first
- is starting to sit on his own (hellejulah! he DOES know how to sit)
- really dislikes his carseat and doesnt always fall asleep in the truck anymore....boooo!
- is starting rice cereal today
- loves petting Cheeko....Cheeko has different feelings about this action
- is starting cold #2.....baby colds are BRUTAL
- rubs his eyes when he is tired
