Almost 5 months!

Rowan-
I cannot believe you turned 5 months old on Monday- and here we are 33 minutes from Friday. Where does the time go? While I am secretly delighted that you woke up and squealed when I got home from work tonight, I want you to go back to sleep! Yes, your babble is the most wonderful noise in the world, but its almost midnight! Your newest thing is to roll over in bed... and not roll back. I thought it was over with, but apparently I was wrong! This month you have also accomplished sitting (tri-pod), and pushing up on all fours. We also started cereal a couple weeks ago... I am still not too sure about it. We are doing rice cereal w/ mom's milk but you have a rash on your tummy that will not go away! It was there before cereal but seems to be getting worse. I was hoping to wait until you were 6 months old to start solids, but of course you had another plan! :o) So we are debating switching to oatmeal... even though there is a higher chance of allergic reaction. Your dad said to me tonight, "Swigart's don't have allergies!" Well yes, but Neal's and McLellan's do. Hopefully this rash is a coincidence. We have video of your first bites but its taking too long to load! :o( Coming soon I hope! Time to go flip you over again... I love you little man-O!

-Your mommy
