5 months (and a little extra)

This post is extremely late.
And I'm disappointed with the picture, but hey when you are like almost 6 months old, the 5 month post gets a little less love. :]

At 5 months Ethan enjoys:
*sitting up all by himself. He is so good at it! He loves to sit up, and tries to do it all the time.
*trying solid food. Ethan had cereal and a few veggies for the first time this past month!
*laughing at mom and dad. He is the happiest kid ever. Plus, he has the most adorable giggle.
*fake coughing. Oh yeah, that's obnoxious.
*pretending to crawl. Ethan thinks that pounding his arms and legs simultaneously gets him places. It doesn't, and he gets mad when he realizes this.
*Ethan has the cutest little faces. One in particular, we call the duck face. It is his go-to expression, and it's awesome. We will get pictures of this.
*Ethan loves to drink out of cups. He holds onto to the top and guzzles the water I have. He has learned to not spill all of it, and now can actually drink some of it.
*He loves to roll around. He has mastered the no-hands-on-the-ground-roll-over-with-a-toy, and where he used to hate being on his tummy, he know prefers it.
*Ethan loves music. He loves to listen to it, and tries to sing along. He loves it!
*he enjoys pounding for things he wants. You know he really wants something when he gets his hand pounding on the table, ground, his stomach, or your legs.
*He is an attention hog. He loves to be talked to, or played with. If there is a room of people, and all eyes aren't on him, he will scream until he is looked at.
*he loves the Johnny Jump Up. However, he doens't jump. He runs. For as far as the cords will let him, and then he gets pulled back. It's the funniest thing ever. Me and Troy spend hours watching him run so hard, and then just swing back. He even gets his little arms going.
*mostly Ethan enjoys being with mom and dad. Even in the middle of the night. :] But, we enjoy being with him too. :]
