::WHITT MAN::

He is five months and growing like a weed or should I say a flower. He is weighing in at a whooping 14 lbs. He is developing little rolls on his legs and has a round in his belly. He is holding up his head like such a big boy. You are probably thinking 5 months and just now holding his head good, well since he was born 10 weeks early he has a slight delay. I also have to remind myself of that often when I see babies that are the same age as him. He love to talk and smile, constantly. He has the cutest little grin I have ever seen. He loves to stand up and Jump, He lifts his left leg a little higher than the right every time he is in the air, it is funny! He also loves the TV, if it is on in the room, he finds it. He is drinking 7 oz. every feeding. We are about to introduce cereal, maybe! He is starting to like his bath time... before now he was a fighter every time he was put in the water. His little "stork bite" on his head is slowly fading. Slowly but surely. He is still waking up during the night for a feeding but these last two nights he has slept from 8 to 8. Knock on wood. I hope he continues.

Happy 5 months little man!!!!

Well here are some pics of the little man lately.

Whitt has begun to experiment with some of his toys, here he is in his jumper. He is still a little small but loves to work those legs. He is a mover people.

We have this scale in our office, so I gave it a try but it was broken.

Bath time- He has his serious face on.

If you cant tell, we are counting down the days until the holidays!!!!

LOVE.

Christmas!

**UPDATE**

It has been requested that I show what I got Whitt so...

Here are the two gifts I ordered yesterday:

What are yall getting your kiddo's for christmas????

*******************

I just bought Whitt's first two Christmas presents from here:

And i am so excited to get them in the mail!!!!!

I hope I can wait till Christmas to put them in use,

I doubt I can.

I can hardly wait to get them in the mail.

Also he can't play with them yet, he is just 5 month old.

I guess it is more like a present to me.

Sorry little babycakes a.k.a Whitt!!!!!

Here is Little Whitt's baby announcement.

My wonderful cousin, Brooke, has a design company....

She thought up this wonderful, clever and creative little

announcement that represents our family

PERFECTLY!!!!!

She asked for a picture of Whitt's room and then ran with it,

God has blessed her with such great talent.

She has other examples from weddings, parties, showers, etc. on the web....

they make me want to have a party just so I can send out invitations!!!!

Please go and visit her web site

P.S. Thanks Brookie, you are the BEST!

P.S.S. The colors on the announcement are a little off, my Mac is has a mind of its own.
