5 months!

Evan is 5 months old today.  Just tonight, I put away all of his 6 month outfits and got out the 9 month clothes.  His pants were becoming high waters, and the onesies were about to burst at the snaps!  :)  I thought he was going through a growth spurt, but it's been going on for about 3 weeks now!  He is sleeping 6:30pm - 6:30am, and eating 7-8oz each feeding plus solids.  He has really grown, and it seems as though he looks different sometimes when I pick him up at daycare even from that morning! 

Oatmeal continues to be his favorite food.  We've tried sweet potatoes and bananas so far.  He eats a few bites reluctantly and then purses his lips so I can't get anymore of it in (we call this fortress lips).  I thought for sure he would like the bananas we tried...I mean, what kid doesn't like bananas?? BUT, he gagged and acted like I gave him pickle juice.  I even tried to put him in an outfit with a monkey on it, show him a monkey blanket while eating, and make monkey noises....no luck though.  Maybe he'll learn to like them??  I guess this weekend, we'll either try carrots or apples.  I hope this doesn't mean he's going to be a picky eater.  He can't only eat oatmeal his whole life! 

On Sunday, Stan umpired for the Special Olympics, and Evan and I went to watch.  It was a beautiful day, and Evan loves watching the games...seriously....he probably could have told you the score, and I, on the other hand, had no idea.  Here are some recent pictures to enjoy!
