At 5 months, our little Piglet, our darling Rodrigo, is many things.
- He's too tall for us to use his walker (pictured here) as a feeding station anymore. Those dang piggies of his reach the floor on all settings!
- He's discovered his tongue, and his version of sticking it out is adorable, and often makes me wonder if he's hungry (he's not).
- He seems to say words randomly. Words like "hi!" to Grandma walking by, or "help!" any time his father has him. It's kind of our favorite sound right now.
- He has two teeth that make him want to chew on everything! Look out, cousin Maccabee! Payback is a'comin'!
- He MUST have things that are:
* not his
* just out of reach
* Mom's food
* not his
- He can't figure out whether or not sleeping is his thing yet.
- He flirts with ALL the ladies, including mom. I've turned him down nicely a few times, but with such adorable and insistent advances, I suppose I'll just enjoy them while I'm still Mom the Amazing and not Mom the Hag who won't let him go out with that girl because she's pierced all over, I understand she's probably really nice and awesome, but we're setting a precedent here. Besides, you're spoken for.
- He loves being sung to. Whether it's Raffi, daddy's made up songs (kinda like this), or hymns, his face lights up with smiles and sometimes giggles.
- He can't stand not knowing what's going on. I'm sure my mother will enjoy the revenge.
- He's scared of/fascinated/horrified by Grandma's blender.
- He loves, LOVES, LOVES sweet potatoes.
- He likes trying, but crawling and sitting up are still works in progress.
And that's where we stand at 5 months.
