5 Months

My Big Little Man,


I am so proud of you. Your daddy and I look at you all the time and marvel at how much you have grown. You are such a big boy. Just this last week you started rolling over. I have only seen you do it once, but I am always coming back into the room to find you in a position that I didn't put you in. You also push yourself up so high now when you are on your tummy. It almost looks like you are doing push ups. Last night Daddy had you pushing yourself up and reaching up for a toy at the same time. It was pretty impressive. I think that you might turn out to be left-handed. You are very adept at reaching for things with your left hand, while your right hand is a bit more sloppy. You seriously reach for everything in sight. I'm starting to wonder if it is time to teach you the word, "No." I'm not sure you will understand it yet, but I will teach you when I think you can understand the concept of consequences.

Special Moment: I was taking pics of Will when he rolled over. I had never seen him do it before this! :)

You aren't going to like me teaching you, "No." It will be hard. But you will learn eventually that you can't have everything you want. And many things are dangerous for you to have! Mommy has a hard time hearing the word, "No" too. I don't like it and it makes me angry and hurt. But God gives us boundaries and he puts up hedges so we can't hurt or destroy ourselves.

Thank you for all of your sweet kisses. You make my face all wet with your slobber, but I love them. You are a sweet boy and I love you so much!

Mommy
