I know this post in a little late...but better late then never!
And, for the very first time, I'm actually sad that he's getting older. Until recently, I always looked forward to him growing older. I couldn't wait until he sleeping longer. I anticipated getting to see him roll over for the very first time. I longed for the moment when he would share a real smile with me. And, the sound of his sweet laugh was something I just couldn't wait any longer to hear.
And, now that all of those moments I so eagerly awaited have come, I find myself wanting to stop time. I want every sweet second with him to last forever. I can't get enough of his slobbery kisses and that smile of his makes my heart completely melt. I want to be able to rock him to sleep every night of my life. I want to be able to hold him forever.
BUT, I have found one phase of his life that I honestly wish would just fly by... teething. Because, knowing that my screaming baby (who suddenly doesn't sleep through the night like he used to) is in pain... and realizing that Tylenol doesn't really make him feel better... is a phase that will not be missed! At all.

With all of the sappy crap aside... Happy 5 months sweet E Man! (My newest nickname for Ian) At 5 months, Ian:
