This past weekend was Bo's 5 month milestone. He has gotten to be quite the big boy lately! He is so aware of his surroundings. He grabs things constantly, whether it is his binkie, his football, or any of his toys. He now knows he has feet, pretty big accomplishment around our house! He loves, loves, loves his Johnny Jump Up. He goes crazy when he is in it now. He typically plays for about 20-30 minutes until he eventually lays his head on it and tries to sleep. So it definitely wears him out! It is Mom and Dad's secret weapon!!
Last Friday was Bo's last day on his medicine and he was finally back to the normal Bo! He was happy and got back into his normal sleeping and eating routine. Bo still eats 4 times a day (730, 1130, 330, 730). He gets formula during the 1130 feeding while at daycare and Breast Milk the rest of the time. He also eats rice cereal or baby food in the evening. Saturday night was a little different because we all went to the PBR in Des Moines. We had friends and all my family come up (family tradition) and go to the Saturday night show. It was Bo's first time, so I was really excited! We ended up feeding him rice cereal at his 330 feedings and formula at 730 since it would be easier. He eats about 7-8 ounces of milk each time and when he eats rice cereal or baby food he will have about 4 tablespoons (or 3-4 ounces) plus about 7 ounces of milk! He does not shy away from food.
I did go out and get Bo his first pair of cowboy boots, wranglers, and a pearl snap shirt (of course). He was so cute in his get up on Saturday evening. His boot are still a little big and wouldn't stay on his feet, but I was able to get one picture of him in his boots. Josh and him also had almost matching shirts, which was adorable. Love those two so much!!

I was little disappointed that we did not get a whole family picture because we do every year, but we were a little preoccupied this year at the PBR. Bo's normal sleep time is around 8 or 9 and he didn't sleep a wink while we were there. He LOVED the PBR (or it may have been all the people and bright lights). I am so excited to take him back next year! It was a little loud in there so we gave him some earplugs, but he had such a good time!
Like I had mentioned, Bo is back on his normal sleeping pattern...SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! We put him down for bed around 830 or 9 and then he doesn't wake up until 7! We are so lucky to have such a good sleeper! We are very grateful for that! It is funny because we always heard horror stories about when you have kids and how they never sleep and you will never sleep, but we haven't really experienced that too much (except for when he was sick). And even if we didn't get much sleep, seeing his smiling face in the morning makes it all worth it! He does like all the room he has in the crib, it's so funny to watch him because you can always tell when he is in his deepest sleep because the arms go out!
Last weekend was Bo's first time trying carrots (or anything other than rice cereal) and he loves them! This makes me so excited, because hopefully he will like vegetables like his mommy! He is learning so quickly how to eat. He will open his mouth and "chew" now. And boy you have to make sure you keep it coming because in between bites he gets a little feisty. He loves his food!!
Our 5 month old - so big! He can sit up so well now!!
Some other fun pictures of our little boy....
I love my Uncle Nick
I almost forgot to mention that Josh went Turkey Hunting for the first time last Monday for 1st season. He was out for about an hour with Nick and got one! I was so proud:). Here are a couple pictures of Josh's bird.
