Not so little man...

Wow!!!! I cannot believe that our "little G-man" is now 5 months old!! He is getting so big and doing so many fun things. He has his moments, as any baby does, but he is really a good baby! He recognizes voices and will follow where they are coming from. He enjoys and is soothed by music. He is a wiggle worm and is constantly moving while awake. He loves to look out the window and loves to watch the fan.
He is getting better with taking the bottle. Though he still is only eating 2 oz, he is eating much quicker and seems to enjoy it. I love the excited look he gets on his face when you put his bib on...he knows what is coming!
He doesn't look so small in his bassinet anymore. One of the things we are working on is getting him to sleep more on his left side. He prefers his right so his head is getting a little flat, but he's gonna get it fixed. Check out his ankles...he crosses them just like his cousin Conner.
He is filling up the car seat more than the first day we came home from the hospital. He seems to enjoy riding in the car...even though the only place he has ever been was the doctor's office!
We visited the pediatrician on Monday and Garrett is doing well. He measures 19 1/2 inches long and weighs 9 lbs 2 oz!!!! People who see him for the first time still comment on how small he is...if they only knew he started out weighing the same as a 20oz bottle of coke! He has he cutest chunky cheeks that you can't help but kiss and pinch. He is such a sweetheart!!
