Cullen: Five Months Old

Cullen was five months old on Saturday. He is such a little character - constantly smiling and laughing. Big milestones this month:
-Rolls over all the time. He's much better at going from his back to his stomach, but occasionally flips from his stomach to his back.
-Started rice cereal this month. He took to eating it right away and tries to hold the spoon. He's still exclusively breastfed besides some cereal at dinner time.

-He is teething and chomping on everything, with tons of drool, but a tooth has not broken through yet.
-Giggles and laughs, especially if we 'fake burp', 'fake bite', and make weird noises like 'a-e-i-o-u'. Daddy is much funnier than mommy. This video involves some pretty strange noises, but his laughing is just too funny not to post.

-Wants to be standing ALL THE TIME. He loves his exersaucer so he can bounce around and stay on his feet.
-He also likes sitting up, but can't sit on his own yet.
-He still loves bath time and giggles and splashes the entire time.
-The sleeping has gotten better, and on the good nights (which are more often than not lately), he'll only wake up once around 4 am.

He's still a big boy, very long and heavy. We have been super busy this month - we bought a new house and officially move in October 30th . So we've been busy packing and starting to haul things over. We also took a trip to the beach and to Baton Rouge last weekend to see my parents, since my mom still can't walk on her broken leg. We had a great time. Cullen got in the pool for the first time and loved it.

Cullen's First Trip to the Beach

Andrew had a tennis tournament in Virginia Beach this weekend, so Cullen got his first taste of the beach. It was in the upper 60's, so we had to bundle up, but he was very fascinated with the sand. I think we have a little beach bum on our hands.
