My little 5 month old keeps changing so much.  This weekend, he cut his bottom two teeth - right on schedule since Rachel also got her first teeth at that age.  Goodbye nursing (just kidding)!  Although, I can't keep up with him anyway.  I don't produce as much milk as he needs so we've been supplementing with formula since he was about 4 months (have you seen the guy? he's solid!).  When he hit 4 months, my milk supply went way down, which was weird since I had only nursed him up to that point.  First thing in the morning is the only time I can give him a full feeding - every other feeding, I have to give him a bottle since I don't have enough milk.  

Lots of people comment on his cheeks - they're definitely pinchable.  And either his hair has gotten a lot lighter or his head is getting a lot bigger and the individual hairs are spreading out.  :)  I've also been hearing from a lot of people that he looks a lot like Rachel.  Just for kicks, I put together a few pictures of her when she was about 5 months old to compare.  I can see some similarities for sure, but their little personalities are very different so it's hard for me to say.  Oh yeah, and their weight is way different - Drew, at 5 months is the size Rachel was at 9 months.  

Drew is enthralled with his big sister.  I love the way he watches her.  She's the next best thing since sliced bread.  I can't even begin to think all the wonderful and not-so-wonderful things she's going to teach him.  She is always in his face and if she gets too close he's finally learned to pull her hair.  I can't help but laugh when Rachel is stuck in his death grips.  

He really is loving his jumper - don't let the expression fool you ... he was ready for bed at this point, all jumped out
