5 month old checkup

We had our 5 month checkup this week. The quick stats are:
Length- 27 inches (90th percentile)
Weight- 17lbs 4oz (75th percentile)
Head- 42 cm (25th percentile)
So, he is still growing consistently and is healthy, healthy, healthy! Now, let me tell you...he is starting to be a HANDFUL (although my dad says he has a feeling we haven't seen anything yet)!! It may be because it had been a long day, but managing him at the doctor's office was a tough job. He was full of squirms and wiggles. In the waiting room, he decided he was going to take a big poo which proceeded to leak out of his diaper, onto his pants, and then onto his carseat. He was already wearing his spare set of clothes since he drooled all over his first outfit at the sitter's, so I didn't have any clean pants for him to wear (bad mommy)! I managed to change his diaper in his car seat (barely) and not too long after that, they called us to a room. He fell in love with the paper they use to cover the exam table. All he wanted to do was roll on it, crinkle it with his feet, and tear it so he could put it in his mouth. It was hilarious! He even tried to get to the doctor's papers as he was filling them out. After we got a good report, I loaded him into his carseat and covered him tightly with a blanket (I didn't want anyone to see that I was bringing my baby out into the sub-freezing temperatures without and pants on and therefore have to admit my "mommy fail") and headed home. We were both exhausted, but I am so glad we got another good report. We are so lucky to continue to have such a happy, healthy, "active" little guy!

A Beautiful Song

I came across this song the other night. I don't know how I've never heard it before, but it is so perfect. I have listened to it over and over and it brings tears to my eyes every time.

Godspeed (Dixie Chicks)
Dragon tales and the "water is wide"
Pirates sail and lost boys fly
Fish bite moonbeams every night
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings.
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

The rocket racer's all tuckered out
Superman's in pajamas on the couch
Goodnight moon will find the mouse
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams

God bless mommy and match box cars
God bless dad and thanks for the stars
God hears "Amen" wherever we are
And I love you

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
Oh my love will fly to you each night on angel's wings
Godspeed
Sweet dreams
