5 Months Old!

5 Months Old

Can't quite sit up on his own yet!

Dashiell is 5 months old today. I can hardly believe it as the time has gone by so quickly. Dash won't go back to the pediatrician until he is 6 months but were able to get an approximate weight while we were in CO. Dash is approximately a whopping 22 lbs!

Developmentally he seems to be right on target. He has even started rolling over both from stomach to back and back to stomach. He seemed to be a bit slow with this at the beginning, probably because of the extra girth. But over the last 10 days, he is moving around a ton. We will put him on the floor and within seconds, he will have either flipped over, or wiggled around 180 degrees.

We decided to celebrate the 5 month milestone with the start of solid foods. The pediatrician had said we could rice cereal around 5 months if Dash was showing interest in food. We have noticed that he has been interested in what we are drinking when we have cups in our hand more so than what we are eating.

Anyhow, Dash was all smiles during his first meal of "solid" food. We aren't sure how much made it in his stomach but we all had fun!
