My Rhett: 5 1/2 months at Galveston

We went to Galveston last week for the Hill/McGeath Family vacation. We had a great time! Rhett did pretty well. He started getting a little fussy by the last day we were there but overall I think he had a great time. We had a baby sitter for two nights so we got to go to dinner without kids - which was pleasant. Rhett loved the pool and the ocean breeze on his face. I think he also liked having all the other cousins around to entertain him, especially Cooper who is just about 3 months older than Rhett.

He is sitting up well now, he still teeter totters a bit but he's definitely getting the hang of it. On my last post I mentioned I was feeding him a few solids...I stopped feeding him solids shortly after that post because he started to not take them well and his system was getting backed up :(. So really he only ate solid foods for about a week and a half. I plan on starting solids again maybe next week or after his 6 month check-up, which is at the end of next week.

He's starting to really try and move. After naps, in his crib he will be faced the opposite direction at the other end of his crib. He's moving himself to sleep on his side and his tummy! Obviously, liking his tummy a lot more since he can easily get around. He's sucking his thumb more and taking a pascifer a little better as well.

He started Mother's Day Out this week and the girls said he did great. He napped a little each day and they circled "happy" on his report sheet. I had to send more milk the second day because apparently I didn't send enough the first time. The second day he ate about 13 oz in 2 feedings! I was so shocked he ate all of that. Guess that boy is growing again.
