Clay is 5 Months Old

Clay is five months old! He is just a bundle of energy - always wanting to move. Whether it's moving across the floor on his back like an inch worm or sitting in his walker and "walking" around in the kitchen...jumping in his Jumperoo...sitting with me or Rob and trying to "crawl" away...(usually he just ends up doing a face plant, so we have to catch him before he hurts himself!) He also loves to kick his legs. If he ends up kicking an object nearby, he's even happier.

Clay still coos and babbles constantly. When he's really upset, sometimes he will say "ma-ma-ma-ma-ma" which, of course, melts my heart. I'm sure he has no idea what he is saying, but eventually he will learn it's my calling card. When he's sleepy, he rubs his eyes and sometimes he will also rub his head and comb his hair with his fingers. He has also discovered his feet, so he spends lots of time holding onto them and playing with his toes. You can make him laugh out loud if you talk in a funny voice, make a funny face or kiss his cheeks.
Oh, he is sleeping really well at night. Usually he only wakes up once in the wee hours of the morning. Every now and then, he will sleep all the way through the night. Ahhh, bliss.
Clay, we love you so much! You have added so much joy to our lives. Keep growing, sweet boy!

He is SO cute!!!! He seems to be growing & advancing SO fast!!! I hope one day we will get together & meet each other's children! ...but I love being able to keep up with Clay & your family by way of blogging, for now!
Oh, I'm so jealous that he is saying "mama"....I know once that happens, it'll be all over for me!...what am I talking about, it already is :)

The countdown is on!
