5 months

Well Cash got sick for the first time. :-( We knew it was going to happen because he started daycare and is getting used to being around other kids. So he had bronchiolitis. No antibiotics or anything but we do have to do breathing treatments. That is not fun for a little baby. He doesn't understand what is going on and it breaks my heart when we have to hold the little mask up to his face. But he got better about 2 weeks later. Mommy on the other hand got really sick too. Man, I haven't been that sick in forever. I was trying so hard not to start a pass around the sickness game at the Gray house. Thankfully Jeremy never got sick, but it took me a good 3 weeks before I started feeling better.
We went to San Antonio for TMEA, which for you non music people is Texas Music Educators Association conference. We go every year. Jeremy goes for the conventions and band concerts, I go for the socializing :) This year we all 3 went so everyone could meet Cash. We get extra excited about TMEA now that we live in Houston because the majority of our friends still live in Dallas and it gives us time to catch up. Cash wasn't too fond of SA. He was having a major growth spurt while we were there so he was kind of fussy. We had fun in the hotel room though while Daddy did his thing at the convention center.
We also celebrated Valentines Day! My thoughtful husband came downtown and had lunch with me and then for dinner we stayed home. We made steak and horseradish potatoes and for dessert we had strawberries with chocolate. It was a very nice Valentines Day and I was so happy to spend it with my boys.


At 5 months:
Height: 25.5 inches

3-6 month clothes! We have finally grown out of the 0-3 month clothes for the most part. There are still some 0-3 that fit.
Started sleeping in his crib. He had been sleeping in his pack n play in our room. He was ready, Mommy wasn't. But the transition went great!
Jibber jabbers all the time :)
Loves playing in his Baby Einstein bouncer
Loves his football that he got for Christmas from Santa

He also loves to be read to :)
