big boy

Sweet Jameson turned 5 months old just days ago. He's rolling back to belly, and almost has it belly to back. He's scooting, lifting his belly off the floor at times, and tries to move himself towards people or toys. He is over 18 lbs. He's so very, very smiley and conversational. He's got a great belly laugh. He loves his sisters and lights up when he sees his family. He eats and sleeps well. God knew just what our family needed when he gave us this dear boy.


E: I just love being a big sister, I've never had a little brother before now. And someday, he'll grow big, maybe as big as Clifford.

Me, whispering to J: Don't grow as big as Clifford or else I'll have to spend all my time feeding you.*

E: Well, we could just feed him dog food?


*I fully expect much of my time to be spent feeding my kids over the next 20 years.

I typed that bit up a couple of weeks ago. Jamie is now almost crawling. He's been getting up on hands and knees for nearly two weeks, rocks back and forth on hands and knees, rolls both directions, and can scoot himself forward. He makes noises like a baby dinosaur. He is, seriously, such a sweet boy.
