Behr, you're 5 months old today and changing so fast.  It's amazing how much you have grown in the past several weeks.  For so long you have slept on your back with your hands behind your head like you are sleeping in a hammock.  Now, sleeping on your back is a rare event and you roll around in bed like never before.  Every time we check on you, we never know what position you are going to be in next (legs hanging out of the bed under the bumper, entire body wedged into a corner, feet on top of the rain forest player with hands behind your head, face down with the passy in your mouth, etc.).  
Life is much more exciting for you now it seems as you talk more, laugh, hold yourself up more and now your fascination is with your own body.  You can't seem to get enough of yourself.  You are constantly grabbing your legs, feet, belly, toes, and if on your back, you roll over instantly.  Two days ago you managed to get your foot in your mouth, something I'm sure you've learned from your daddy!  Your favorite things to do are still taking a bath (which is completely hilarious each time), school (flash cards and videos), Baby Einstein, listen to music, ride in the car (even though the car seat sometimes gets you upset), play with your toys, playing with mommy & daddy and last but not least, eat.  You can't eat enough these days and its a good thing we found the rice oatmeal.  Feeding you this in an adventure however since you can't be still, we can't feed it to you fast enough and if the texture isn't just right, you gag (we try not to laugh but it's hard not to).  We try not to cover you from head to toe in food but sometimes it happens.  You also love to listen to your NaNa and RaRa on the phone.  "Why are those grandparents always in that phone?"  It's fun to hear them talk to you and see your reactions.  Of course you are growing out of your clothes so your wardrobe is changing fast.  It's amazing how something will fit one day and the next there is no way we can get it on you.

We have had so much fun with you and can't wait for all the fun times ahead.  5 Months, wow!  We love you little man.
