5 months

I seem to only update about once a month lately but life is crazy and I just can't do it much right now. Andrew is 5 months old and Jackson has been 2 for 3 months already! Time is flying! Jon has 2 class meetings and 1 seminar meeting left for his grad program. He is close to finishing his internship hours and over halfway done with his big portfolio project! I cannot tell you how excited we are to be done with that!

Andrew is basically mobile now. He can roll and scoot all across the room. He rolled off of the bed once in the night time but luckily he was fine, just scared. He tries to get on his hands and knees to crawl but isn't strong enough for that yet. He also loves to stand (with us helping) and I swear he wants to walk so badly. This kid is big and strong and is ready to take on the world already.

Andrew is so patient and will hardly fuss or cry when hungry or tired. He had a rougher time this week and appears to possibly be teething. He has been a drooling mess and chewing a lot. He also wanted held more and would only sleep well if in our bed. We haven't seen any teeth yet, but I am sure it won't be long.

Andrew is always full of smiles and laughs. He is a very loving baby. He loves watching his brother and his daddy and loves when he can get our attention. He has tried rice cereal twice, sweet potatoes once, and bananas once. He nurses every 1.5-2.5 hours typically but goes a little longer at night.

Jackson continues to make us laugh constantly. We are in awe of all he knows and remembers. The other day he described eating some crackers with my uncle and that occurred last summer. But he hasn't forgotten! He can say several word sentences and is just talking non-stop at home but is much more timid in public. He doesn't talk much around others. He says funny things and picks up on all we say and do.
