Boone, 5 months.

BOOOOONE!!!!! i love YOU.  you have to be the happiest baby of all times!!! you are incredible. you are fat and happy and wonderful!

I was just looking back through my blog at Oaks 5 month post.  Its crazy how yall are right on track with each other. except you are bigger. :)  i tried to get a picture to post of him at 5 months but  i couldn't figure it out.  but yall look DIFFERENT. more and more...there are similarities, i dont know what they are....but yall defiantly look like brothers, but also SO different.  this is soooooo fun!

okay, whats up with you this month?

you are in size 4 diapers.

you are sitting up. but i still wouldnt leave you by yourself.

you LOVE smiling.  smiling is your favorite. :)

You officially DO NOT fit in your bath tub anymore.

You like to cat nap through out the day, but sleep great at night.  You are an AMAZING cuddlier.  I love sleeping with you in the morning after our first feeding.

You love preslee. 

At your doctors appointment you were just under 20lbs. and back on the charts!!!! down to 99% in weight! :)

Duke was born!!!  We got to go back to tulsa for a few days and play with Caro, Grandma and Pa, while Amy and Duke were at the hospital.  It was so fun and Duke is precious and amazing!  You two are almost 5 months apart. 

I

You are chewing on anything and everything!  I have almost this exact picture of Oak at 5 months!

i love you boone gregory!!!

Boone, 4 months.

(Please excuse the disorganization of this post and pretend that the pictures are where they are supposed to be, under the correct description.  I'm done trying to make this work. :) )

You LOVE this toy.  You often fall asleep with it in your mouth like this:

We celebrated you being 4 months old in Tulsa this past weekend.  We were there for Carolines 3rd birthday and got to spend a few extra days with the Dales and grandma.

boone, you are STILL big. :)

and STILL so happy.

you smile constantly and your joy is so contagious.

I LOVE YOU. HUGE.

You weigh around 19lbs. and i have NO IDEA what size you wear.  most things don't fit.  they don't make onesies in 2T. :)  Just kidding.  but seriously, we are in 18-24 months for sure.

do they make a BIG and TALL store for babies?!

I think I can say you are sleeping through the night.  Sometimes you wake up in the 4-5am range.  But hey, it doesnt bother me. :)

You have had several firsts this month:

You went to your first (and last) bachelorette party.  Kelby's bachelorette party was in Dallas and Grandma and Pa SOOOO KINDLY came into Dallas and got you after the shower part of the celebration.  Then brought you back to me to nurse.  Then took you home.  All while taking care of Oak and Caro too.  They are amazing.

BUT I think the girls liked you.

You took your first sink bath (with Preslee!).

You swung for the first time at Caro's house.  (oak swung for the 1st time in tulsa too!)  You loved it.

You are blowing raspberries like crazy.  You love to mimic us.  If we blow our lips,  you do too. If we make a high pitched noise, so do you.  You really are the cutest thing in the whole world.

I love you boone gregory.

Boone, 3 months.

Boone...
I LOVE YOU.
You are the sweetest baby in all the lands.

Your smile continually melts my heart and makes me feel like i hung the moon. (but i didn't.)

You are rolling over more and enjoying your play mat too!  You have started reaching and grabbing for the things hanging from your play mat.
You still LOVE your dog rattle. (still need to name that guy.)

You have taken the paci a few more times this month...still not in love with it, but i won't give up hope! :)
You are sleeping about the same...feeding a couple times during the night...i think.:)
You are now sleeping, well starting the night off, in your bassinet and daddy is back in the bed with us.

You are STRONG!  you hold your head up like a champ and push up so well on your tummy.  You sit in the bumbo, now, and feel like such a big boy.

You are wearing 6-12 months mostly.

You are amazing, Boone Gregory.  I am loving watching you grow and change and discover new things (so does oak).

Oaks first haircut.

I was determined to not cut his hair for a LONG time.  like shoulder length long.  i wasn't 100% i wanted to cut it, but i went for it.  and looking back at these pictures, convinces me, again, it was time.  

March 2013.

Oak Jackson.

2 1/2 years old.

I continued cutting it for 3 days and it looks better and better all the time.  I think it's even thickened up a bit!  Now, back to plan one: shoulder length. 

boone, 2 months.

 You are two months BIG!  i told your daddy that i fell in love with you this month.  Not that I didn't love you before, because I did. but i totally FELL in love with you this month.  make sense?

You melt me. and your dad.  All we have to do is make eye contact with you and you smile and coo the biggest best face in the world.  And then we melt.  Plus, you have the sweetest (still leaning towards blue/green) eyes. So many times I will look glance at you in the midst of whatever I am doing and you are just looking at me smiling like I'm the greatest thing you have  ever seen.  Thanks, dude. Please don't ever stop. :)

You love your brother.  And he loves that you love him.
Goodness, you just make everyone feel loved.

I think you still look like oak but i can definitely see you looking more like your dad.  sounds pretty good to me! after all, he is the cutest guy i've seen in my entire life.

You still feed every 3ish hours.  My milk is still explosive in your face, but now I can sometimes get away without having a towel to catch the excess. Too much info? nope.
You sleep like a champ.  You usually start to squirm and feed around 3-4am and again around 6ish.

We havent gone to your 2 month appointment yet, but when we do, i'll update this post on your weight,etc.  I'm sure youve gained a pretty penny.
You wear 6-12 month clothes and are in size 2 diapers, although i'm sure you are supposed to be in 3's. :/

You rolled over this month!!!! once. but you still rolled over!  I layed you on your tummy, and when I came back you were on your back! yea! go boone!
You still havent fallen in love with the paci, though I am praying you do very soon.
You love your swing most of the time and have taken a liking to the little dog rattle grandma got you that alissa made.

You are precious, boone.  I'm so excited about you, your life, and being your mom.
