5 months

Hunter turned 5 months today and here are his latest: he is now happily eating 3 servings a day of rice cereal. He hated it the first few weeks and i got the ok from the doctor to try apple juice mixed in and now he loves it. I hope this doesn't affect his eating other foods, we will find out soon enough. Also, he is rolling over all the time now. I put him down on his back, I turn around and he is on his tummy facing the other direction with a big smile on his face. Time to get the playpen back out :) He giggles a lot but only when he's in the mood. Particularly during diaper changes. He laughs when I tickle him or tell him I'm going to tickle him, when i blow on his tummy or nuzzle his neck. His laugh makes me melt. His favorite toy is a ring with a rubber ball and smaller rings attatched to it. That or his hands are in his mouth at all times. Still no teeth though. I love watching him grow and learning new things, but I already feel like he is growing up too fast.

Chase is working a ton these days. He loves his job and the hours don't seem to bother him. He and his new coworkers and boss became instant friends and he's already gotten great reviews from the crew supervisors. I am so proud of him. I wish you all could see the smile Hunter gets on his face when he sees his dad come home from work. He wont look anywhere else in the room.
