Five Months

F I V E  M O N T H S  O L D
My happy, sweet, darling baby boy is 5 months old! I’m going to freak out next month when he’s halfway to being 1 year old! I am SO not ready for that. For now I’ll stay in denial and cuddle him closely and soak up all the love and attention he gives me. I know one day not too far away he will be crawling away and running from me.  I want to remember all of him, every inch of adorable chubbiness and wrinkles on his legs, neck, and tummy, the way he smiles at me right after he eats, his soft silky skin, the energetic happy kicks he does all day long, his squeals, squeaks, yelps, and giggles.  The smell of his hair, his cheeks, and his breath. The splashes he has started to make in the bath. The way he is ticklish now just like me. The way he wraps his arms around me and holds my hand while he sleeps. He's always so calm in a crowd but shows his silly/excited personality at home. He is so playful, cuddly, loving, and sweet. I will forever wish for time to slow down.
