Cole at 5 months: 10 Random facts

1. Cole goes through short phases of "talking." For a few days all he does is raspberries. For a few days after that it's screeching. For a few days after that he babbles. It sometimes sounds like "bla bla bla." Whatever he does, it's amazing to listen to, well, with the exception of the screeching.

2. When he's in a standing position and he's supported by one of us, he bounces on our legs as if he's in the jumparoo. It is THE cutest thing. And he squeals while he's bouncing. So precious.

3. He rolls over onto his tummy the moment he is on his back. He can roll across a room if there's enough space. He can also drag himself or scoot around to reach whatever is near him.

4. Changing his diaper has become a monumental task because he tries to roll over or reach behind him. It's like whatever he can't see, he suddenly wants to see and must get to it immediately.

5. Cole sucks his thumb while nursing. At first this was slightly amusing. Not anymore.

6. Cole sleeps with his hands above or on his head. Kinda like his father.

7. He's finally realized there are TWO black cats in the house and is most interested in their tails. Good cats they are, they also permit him to pet them, and he does so gleefully.

8. Doesn't like going to sleep, but hates waking up even more.

9. Is very close to sitting unsupported, but not quite there. He pushes himself up from a lying position and can get about 1/4 of the way up. Keith says it's like he's doing crunches.

10. Cole is seriously teething. He puts anything in his mouth that he can reach and immediately starts to chew. Instead of sucking on his pacifiers, now he just chews them.
