Team Schuurman: 5 Months Old

Where have the past 5 months gone!?!? Good grief it's fast, and I know I say this every time, but wow. Time sure does fly when you're having fun. Marcus is officially 5 months old, so here are a few things to catch you up to speed about this little man:

He's wearing mostly 6-9 month old clothes.
He started (just this week) rolling over with no problem. As soon as I put him on his back, he rolls to his left, onto his belly. He's not quite mastered the rolling back onto his back yet.
He chews on everything he can get his hands on (including his hands) and drools like a faucet.
He is infatuated with his feet and they are a good 10 minute entertainer.
He loves a warm bath and splashes around with both feet and arms. (He even takes an occasional shower with Daddy and loves that, too)
He may grow up to be vain, but he loves looking at himself in the mirror.
He's becoming quite the attention hog, making noise until we look at him, then he smiles like, "Gotcha!"
He's been eating rice cereal for a few weeks, but just this week we started him on green beans.
He weighs around 17 pounds and as soon as we finish this current pack of diapers, he'll wear size 3.
He loves being outside. Most any time he's fussy and the weather isn't bad, I can take him outside and get immediate calmness. We try to take a walk outside whenever possible. Bev & and I call it, "airing the children."
Finally, he has his Mama and Daddy's hearts. We are infatuated with this little boy and look forward to the blessing and challenge of raising him to know and follow Jesus.
