Vincent Turns 5 Months Old
It’s the day after Christmas and Vincent’s 5 month birthday! I almost forgot that is was his month mark, with all the holidays! Just 1 more month till he is 1/2 a year old! Here are some shots from out photoshoot today.
He can FINALLY lift his head up off the ground pretty good now, though he still grumbles from time to time and buries his head on the floor!
It was actually pretty weird that while i was taking these photos he was trying to rollover from his tummy to his back, which he hasn’t done yet. I’d never seen him try to do that before. You can see how far his legs are leaning over. He was laughing up a storm and wobbling all about.
Look a this precious face! He has some pretty bad eczema still on his skin, especially some bad patches on his face. You can see a web of drool on his hands! He’s been drooling pretty good for a couple months now, but no teeth yet.
His shave ice growth pic! I actually measured and weighed him today — he hadn’t grown any inches since last month but he is still in the 75 percentile (he was 90th last month), and he now weighs 17 lbs.
Haha, this month he wanted to grab the shave ice and put it in his mouth!
He looks a lil chubby in this picture, doesnt he?
We like to sit him in the corner of the couch, since it can support him. He still needs support to sit up, but pretty soon he should be able to sit up on his own.
He loves to grab his toes! Especially when we are changing him. Just before he “discovered” his toes, he would always grab his “pee cloth” (what we use to cover his peepee when we change him so he doesnt pee pee all over us). So we would give him a toy to play with so he didnt do that. But now it seems he is happiest to grab his toes.
Other milestones — he tried to “sit up” when he is in his swing (semi-reclined position). He lifts his head up. He also reaches for his pants legs and stretched out his pants. He loves to scratch his head, despite that being a terrible thing to do for his scalp and cradle cap. He also constantly itches his ears and face, especially when he is tired.
He can screech really loud and mostly prefers to do this while he is being changed or is in his swing. He can sure “talk” when he wants to! He also likes to laugh when we make silly sounds or lift him up in the air. He is still scared of strangers! Poor guy. For being so happy around us, he sure can turn on the “cry” fast when its someone he doesn’t know.
