¡Ya tienes 5 meses!

Como bien menciona tu papá, muestras toda tu personalidad. Nos haces saber que te gusta cuando sonríes o intentas decirnos algo y también nos dejas bien en claro cuando algo te fastidia o no te gusta con tu llorar.

No dejo de mirarte cuando juegas en la cama y te gusta levantar tus piernas en el aire, puedes chupar us deditos del pie, sueltas carcajadas con cada cosquilla y no dejas de 'hablar'. Estás bien coordinado también, utilizas ambas manos para coger objetos, intentas pararte estirando tus piernas y te mueves cuando estás boca abajo dando la sensación que gateas en círculos. Aún seguimos trabajando en ir de boca arriba a boca abajo y viceversa y lo estás haciendo bastante bien.

Enero: ¡Empezamos las clases de natación! Aunque no son clases de natación en sí, nos encanta verte jugar y pasarla bien en el agua. Poco a poco pierdes el miedo y tus horas de baño también se vuelven más divertidas.

Nos encantan tus ojitos preciosos, aún los tienes de color plomo y tus encías inferiores muestran de signos de que veremos dientecitos muy pronto.

¡Te compramos una silla para comer! Dentro de un mes empezarás a comer sólidos, ¡cuanta expectativa!

Datos interesantes: Pesas 7,800 y mides 68 cmts.

Now I'll see you more

A lot can change in 5 months. I see you as a little person now, not just a baby. You smile at the things and people you like and you complain at the things you don't like. Granted your complaints are limited to a strained yelp and an arching of you small torso but they are no less affective for their lack of variety.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the ease with which both your mother and I have made the adjustment to your arrival. You dictate our entire lives now and yet I am more than happy for it to be that way. At times your mother and I bicker over the silliest things, a symptom of tiredness and stress brought on by your desire to feed every two hours in the night and long days working for the man. Luckily for us though, your mother is a reflexive, caring women and I, over the years, have learned to be sensitive to the feelings and point of view of others, so between us we quickly recover and become a stronger team in the game that is parenthood.

Every week, maybe every day, you are learning new things. You mother showed me how to make you laugh the other day. It seems you have a ticklish stomach. Let's check if you still have a ticklish stomach now! The sound of a baby laughing is a beautiful thing. The sound of your own baby laughing is one of life's wonders.

I got a new job yesterday. I will be working from home. That means I get to spend an extra two to three hours a day with you and your mother. To say that makes me happy is to understate the facts. It has been making me sad that I have missed so much of your first few months. Now I get to see more. My only hope is that I manage to maintain that dedication to you and your mother throughout the years that come.

Happy five months my son. Loving you and your mother is my joy.
