Five months old!

Craig turned 5 months old yesterday. It is hard to believe how rapidly time has flown by and how much this tyke has grown! He has always been a cooperative baby and as he grows, he is increasingly easy to care for. A friend remarked that he has spoiled his parents!
Here are some updates:

Milestones:
1. Sleeps through the night: 8 pm - 6 am
2. Rolls over back to tummy and this morning managed to roll back to his back from tummy
3. We started him on a little rice cereal 2 days ago and he seems to like it - knows how to open his mouth as the spoon approaches

Likes:
1. Music - especially jazz (he especially loves Ella Fitzgerald!)
2. Kisses - loves to be kissed
3. Smiles - though he frowns a lot, if you smile at him, you will most definitely get a wide toothless grin back - even when he is very tired
4. Playing with his toys by himself - sometimes, he gets impatient when we hold him too long. He wants to be left alone to play with his toys or practice his new motor skills
5. Being read to - he would look at the page we are reading and touch the page with his little fingers - as if he understands what it is about!
6. Being carried face-out on his carrier when we go out - he gets so excited, he would start kicking his legs furiously!
