April 10th - Brandon is five months old today! And what a big boy he's getting to be. At almost 16 lbs and over 26 inches, Brandon officially falls into the "big baby" category. He's still only eating breast milk and formula but this month he's going to try rice cereal as his first foray into solid foods! He also now sits in his highchair at dinnertime - just to get a feel for it.
Speaking of firsts, Brandon is enrolled in swimming lessons. Daddy and Brandon go to "Little Dippers" on Saturday mornings. Brandon is not entirely sure of the whole thing but he looks cute in his little swim suit none-the-less.
Brandon is enjoying his Salsa Babies class. He doesn't mind being in the carrier and he seems to really like the Latin beat. He gets to shake a little maraca while Mommy dances the baby fat away!
Brandon is not quite rolling all the way over yet. He's also not sitting up on his own but he practices both skills every day.
Brandon's favorite things include playing in his Jumperoo, bath time, and seeing his little friends every week at playgroup. His dislikes include daytime naps and shopping (much to Mommy's disappointment on both counts). We recently tried going to a movie - Alice in Wonderland - and he really didn't care for that either. We'll try again in a few more years.
Overall Brandon is a really good baby and he's an absolute joy to have around. Mostly he's very happy and loves to observe everything. He never fails to put a smile on our faces. I can't wait to introduce him to my side of the family in Victoria next week. My next post might include a blurb on how much Brandon likes or dislikes airplanes so stay tuned for that one! ;)
