5 months!

Our little Jackson turned 5 months old on Saturday!  I have decided that this is definitely my favorite stage so far!

At 5 months, Jackson ...
-  has been on 6 different airplanes and in 5 different airports
- is really good at grabbing things (toys, blankets, mommy's hair and necklaces, paper, and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on)
- puts EVERYTHING in his mouth
- is good at passing his toys from one hand to the other
- drools like crazy and has been teething for about a month and a half; no teeth yet
- is finally sleeping at least 7.5-9 hours straight at night and takes 3 naps per day
- sometimes likes eating his rice cereal, but usually makes it pretty interesting for mommy and daddy
- loves to hear mommy and daddy sing songs
- loves to say "hi" and screech and squeal to let everyone know that he is here
- can roll from his tummy to his back and is SO CLOSE to rolling from his back to tummy
- has scooted backward while on his tummy a few times
- has lots of fun splashing in his tub during bath time
- likes to watch the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse while eating his rice cereal in the mornings
- is really starting to show is personality, and I have a feeling we are going to have a little goofball on our hands!  He likes to be silly and shake his head back and forth as if he is saying "no" to us, and loves to giggle when we play with him.  He especially loves when daddy tickles him and tosses him (not very high) in the air.

Here are some fun pictures from the last month!
Look at our reverent baby!  He sits like this on his own often :)
We recently discovered how much Jackson loves to play the piano!  My future musician!
Like I said, he puts everything in his mouth ;)
Loves mommy's watch!
Our favorite game!
Peek-a-boo!
Look at that sweet drool line on his collar
My BYU baby!


These next three are Jackson screeching
while I'm trying to take his picture
