bode @ 5 months

my baby boy is 5 months old today, and oh how sweet this angel is!  

bode has his first tooth that literally broke through the skin TODAY..... so funny on his 5 month day.  i don't have smith's first tooth recorded, but i want to say it was end of his 4th month..so very close to bode.  bode has a dr. visit next week, so i do not have his most recent percentiles, but we will suffice it to say that he is a pretty big boy (on par with my other).  he is not rolling yet (just like smith who was a late roller), but he is getting pretty darn close to sitting up on his own.  we practice sitting a lot in between my legs while playing with big brother.  he has found his hands and LOVES them, but not so interested in his feet yet.  bode is eating rice cereal like a champ and still nursing at this point.  i have not decided whether to nurse him past 6 months yet.  smith lost interest around that time and was too busy looking around to latch on!  so, smith started on bottles at 6 months....we will see with bode.  he is cooing a lot and screaming occasionally...mainly at smith, it is hilarious.  bode likes to sleep on his belly and i am getting up several times a night to switch him back to belly or vice versa OR to give him the pacifier.  this has been so different than smith because NOW i need to keep bode quiet for smith....so, i feel like i am getting up more with bode than i ever did with smith.  however, they are in the same room and doing quite well...sleeping from around 8-7.  bode continues to smile at all times and has been so precious from the very beginning...i am thrilled to watch him and smith interact more!
