Where did the last 6 months go!? In just under 2 weeks our little boy will be 1/2 a year old!!! I remember when he fit in the palm of Jose's hand, literally - remember Cristian's newborn pics? The one of Jose holding him up in the palm of his hands? He was just 10 days old...and now he's almost 180 days old (6 mths.)!
For those of you who follow Cristian's life - pull up a comfy seat and settle in to our new blog. Our website expired and we wanted to continue keeping our loved ones informed about the happenings in our life. My intent is to update often and include lots of pictures and video of Cristian as he grows each and everyday right before our eyes!
I named our blog 3 Peas in a Pod b/c that's just what we are - Jose, me and Cristian! (we can't forget Scooby, so technically we're 4 Peas in a Pod, but 3 is more catchy).
Each month I want to try and name things that stand out about Cristian...so since we're in between the 5 and 6 mth. mark I'll start with 5...

5 things at 5 mths.
*I love this age!! Cristian is an absolute ball of laughter...he smiles and laughs so much! His laughter is the best sound in the world...and that gummy smile will melt your heart instantly!
*He is such a great eater! Just the other night I was eating a few bites in between holding him...and I noticed he was eyeballing my food...so that was my cue that he was hungry - as if he was saying "Hey Mom, I'm hungry here..." As soon as you lock him into his highchair and put the tray on he knows what time it is. He'll bang his hands on the tray and smile, he gets so excited! He's so darn cute! He has started helping me get the spoon to his mouth by grabbing my hand and pulling it towards his open mouth...I think its time for stage 2 food!
*I swear his first words are coming soon! He squeals with delight and makes so many news sounds...its as if he's testing out his vocal cords and seeing how this whole talking thing works. I am practicing with him daily to say "Ma-Ma" so I'm hoping that'll be his first word! Sorry, Papi!
*He loves to play peek-a-boo! He cracks up everytime and its so cute. I'll sometimes hold him and look in the mirror and move up and down or side to side (to get out of sight for a minute) and say "peek-a-boo" - when he gets too tickled he'll grab my face with both hands and open his mouth and plant a big ole' wet kiss on my cheeks!! It's so slobbery and messy - but its one of the best things in life!! I love those wet, baby boy kisses!!
*He's always been a really good sleeper! Around 1 mth. old he started sleeping thru the night! Jose and I joke our next child will be the complete opposite...LOL! After his bedtime bottle he sometimes falls asleep before we lay him in his crib...but sometimes he's still awake but drowsy...these times are so precious b/c we'll give him hugs and kisses before we lay him down...and then we'll give him his paci and his stuffed animal and he cuddles with it...and shortly falls asleep. It's so cute to watch him do this!!
There's so much more I could say...but since this is 5 at 5 mths. I'll leave it at that! :)
