Titus is 5 months old today! Where has the time gone??

At 4.5 months old I was able to weigh & measure Titus. My boy tips the scale at 18.5 pounds & is 27 inches long! He's actually off the charts in his length & of course weight too. He's in such a fun stage right now as he learns to make new noises, funny faces, and is started to get very interested in food & drinks! Although I'm trying to hold out to the six month mark to start letting him try the rice cereal... I've been tempted to let him try a few things... I've fallen into that temptation and he's licked an organic dried banana & sucked on a raw carrot and a piece of cantaloupe.. but no more. I don't want him eating until six months.. lets see if we can do it...Daddy doesn't think we can hold off that long. He's still such a happy boy! Sleep... ya right.. he wakes up now about every hour to feed... very tiring.. but I try to make up the missed sleep during the day. A new stage that he's in right now is crazy!! He is VERY aware if I leave the room now and even if he's in his favorite toy.. his jolly jumper.. he will start to cry! Soo... I get to hold him ALL of the time now... Sister King taught a message.... Relax, Relish, and R... so I'm relishing this stage because soon he won't want any hugs from his Momma.. so I'm very glad to have a Snuggli.. as I use it ALL of the time. I guess it becomes an art to start cooking with only one hand.. and my back sure is a lot stronger... my little man is heavy! Here's some very recent pictures.

At Christmas time Titus sat with his Great Grampa de Leeuw, who has just turned 91 years old! Titus loves him!!
