Jax turns 5 months old!

Our baby Jax is 5 months old!  He is now 26.8 inches long (84th percentile) and 14 lbs 12 oz (23rd percentile.)  Sporting his signature grease ball mohawk, and flashing his sweet smile.  Jax is very tender hearted and a gentle baby, so much that daddy calls him his "sweet pea".  Yes, we are a family who has a gizzilion nicknames for each other, at any given moment.  But Jax owns the title for being our little angel, always up for anything, and very, very patient.

He loves his view of the world now from sitting position, and it seems like he began sitting overnight.  Must be all the mini sit-ups and ab work he's been doing the last couple of months, he sure is strong!  Jax loves sitting and looking at books.  He even turns the pages of a book, just ask his Babi! He's awesome with his fine motor skills,  picking up rattles, shaking his noise makers, and focus so intently when doing so! 

 He really enjoys watching his big brother and trying to do the things he does.  Jax loves to be in good company and when we leave the room or walk away for a minute he begins to yell at us, demanding attention.   He loves going outside, riding in the Baby Bjorn, and looking at the trees swaying in the wind.   He's also a big music fan, and likes the "Little Eisteins" Disney show just as much as Taj does!

Jax figured out how to get air by jumping in his jumperoo...

 And more sitting, playing, and grabbing a hold of everything.

Did I mention that Jax is a good eater?  He is a boob man, and only wants to breastfeed!  He refuses the bottle and would rather go on a hunger strike until his mommy gets home.  So interesting since his first month he only wanted the bottle, and now its completely flipped.  He does eat good with the spoon too, slurping away on oatmeal daily, with the addition of bananas.  His skin continues to be super sensitive, very dry depending on the day, and certain foods (like bananas) can give him a minor rash on his cheeks.

We just love our Jax so much, from his giggles, to the words (he says his version of 'hi"= "haaa!"), his "thhh" and "pfff  noises he attempts with his mouth, and distinct cries for whatever he needs.  He is gentle, yet strong.  Love that combination.

Every day, Jax finds something new hilarious and the most random things make him laugh.   I love this video of him and Sam, playing with the Mickey Mouse balloon Taj got in Disneyland.  At least one of the boys adores Mickey!
