matt turned five months today and so much has happened since my last monthly post.
in the last month matt has started smiling a lot, even for me! he also started crawling (more like creeping) but he gets really tired when he does it. he’s also sleeping better at night, i think because he can now change positions by himself. we also went to the doctor and he now weights 17 pounds, 13 ounces and is 25 inches long! but the biggest surprise by far is that he is starting to cut a tooth on the right side of his bottom gums. he has also started to show interest in food, even trying to grab his daddy’s coke! 
he still hates his car seat and the stroller, although he’s improved quite a bit, falling asleep on his own a couple of times on the stroller without having to be breastfed. he’s still boycotting formula and the bottle, but when he’s really hungry you can get him to drink breast milk from a bottle.
next month will be exciting because he will be starting solids when we go back to australia.
