5 months old!

Nate is 5 months old already! He's a bubbly, happy guy pretty much all of the time these days, the days of him crying constantly from his reflux feel so long ago already. He still takes medication for reflux and it seems to keep him pretty stable most of the time, which is such a relief for all of us. And his last potassium draw was a 5.2, which is lower than it's been since we started checking, I believe.

 Nate's been in daycare for about a month now and continues to do well. They love him--he is just as happy and smiley there as he is with us. Simon has even been a little more interested in him these days, and Nate is definitely interested in watching Simon run around.

 Nate is working on sitting up in his various seats, trying hard to put everything in reach into his mouth, although he doesn't have the dexterity to quite manage that yet, and playing with his feet. We have started putting him in a high chair from time to time and he seems to like being able to check the world out from a new perspective. Similarly, we moved him to a "big boy" car seat on the early side since he always cried in his bucket seat, likely from the reflux. He is much happier now, and generally sits contentedly looking out the window as we drive.

 So, here it is, the 5 month photo!
