5 months with Talmage

Favorite Things:  People smiling at you.  You get so excited about it.  You'll smile super big at someone and then turn your head down and shake it like your hungry, burrying it into whatever is nearest.  It seems to me as if that is a way you have found to communicate how tickled you are that someone is paying so much attention to you.  You just can't hold it all in and give them a little show.

Special Talent:  Rolling over.  But just one way.  I always have to remember which way you roll when I put you down so that you don't end up pinned next to a wall too quickly.

Favorite Pastime: Scooting around on the floor and rolling around.  It happens so slowly I can't even watch it, but you will be on one side of the room and then tucked up against the couch or the chair that gets in your way occasionally.  You don't really seem too interested in scooting around for things, but prefer moving just for the moving part.

NickNames:  T-Man  - this one is sticking.

Sleep:  Up at 7, down at 8.  A couple naps thrown in and you still have a tendency to need a nap around 5 pm if we are home.

Eating: At your 4 month appointment the doctor suggested that we switch you from 8 oz to 7 oz.  You cry after every feeding, wanting more, but as soon as you are burped you are just fine.  I have started giving you cereal and vegetables every once in awhile and you are pro already.  You love to eat and are good at keeping it in your mouth and down your throat.

Crying:  When you need a diaper change.  If you start to fuss a little I look at the clock and can usually predict what's going on by knowing your schedule.

Dislikes:  Poopy diapers.  These are a big deal around here.  Considering that you don't fuss all that much and when you are poopy you let us all know in a big way.

Likes:  Your sister.  You two are adorable together.

My favorite part:  Your chunker thighs.  I love squeezing them and holding onto them when I carry your around.  You are a sturdy little guy.  My little rock.
