Caleb {5 Months Old}

This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.

Another month has passed and our little pea is 5 months old! We fall in love with Caleb more and more every day. He brings us so much joy and we feel honored and blessed to be his parents. He brings so much laughter and happiness into our home. We love him to pieces! It was a busy month for Caleb, here are a few of the highlights.

  • Caleb is rolling around like crazy and loves to lay on his tummy.
  • He loves to play with is feet. He grabs his feet and puts them in his mouth. He is very flexible:)
  • Caleb loves to look out our big living room window. He loves watching the cars go by. He waves his arms, jumps up and down, and watches them until they are out of site. If a kid or dog walks by, that is an added bonus…and garbage day is his favorite. He loves the big and noisy garbage truck.
  • Feeding time takes a little longer these days because he likes to play and look around instead of focusing on his milk. He also loves to play with his hair while he eats.
  • Caleb loves mama’s blue cup. If I am holding him and pick up my cup to get a drink, he attacks the cup.
  • He loves going on walks with daddy. Josh carries him in our Ergo and Caleb loves it! He gets excited when he sees his coat and the baby carrier.
  • Caleb is a loud little guy. He loves hearing his voice and talks to himself and his toys all of the time.
  • Caleb got his first tooth! Teething is not fun, but he is a trooper.
  • Caleb is already interested in food. Good news for us:) Every time we eat, he tries to grab our food or will stare down our food and start drooling like crazy. We gave him his first rice cereal and he wasn’t exactly sure what to do. I think he liked his bib and spoon more than the cereal, but it’s a start. He was definitely excited to try it.
  • He has been waking up a few times in the night to eat. We are trying to break him of that habit right now. Little stinker:)

Happy 5 months Caleb! We love you!

  1. Yayyy :). Glad things are going well. I think kaylins top teeth are coming in next. They are monsters. What a happy little man!

  2. Oh my goodness, what a sweetheart! It’s so amazing how way over here in Canada I get to watch your little one grow. The internet is crazy…but so, so, wonderful. I think Caleb is the absolute cutest!

  3. He’s precious! My little guy just turned 5 months too! Quinn was born the day before Caleb. I can’t believe they are five months old already!

  4. So fun to see and hear about your sweet little guy–and remember those days myself. My baby is almost 5! sigh
    Eat him up–he’s SO cute!

  5. I can’t believe your little pea is already 5 months! Where did the time go? He is such a cutie. Definitely going to be heartbreaker.

  6. These photos made me smile this morning. Thanks for sharing his highlights – brings back fond memories of my girls’ baby days. He is precious!

  7. These pictures are adorable!!! I love this post and would love to see more of them in the future 🙂 Caleb is so cute!!!!

  8. Maria: He is a doll!

    5 months (it goes too fast) is a milestone.

    Don’t you think he deserves a holiday?

    I would happily have him here a ” Hotel Charlie”.

    I am in love with babies! My kids call me the baby magnet. If a babies is within a mile I can sense it. Most people go to the mall to shop, I go to see all the babies.

    Enjoy every second my dear, they pass so very quickly that if you blink they are gone.
    God’s Blessings on you, Josh and Caleb.

  9. Maria, he is a darling and I am happy you are keeping us informed. Alice’s Juliet had a 4 month anniversary yesterday and her grandmother indicates she is also doing well. Hope you can get together someday. Alice Marsh

  10. Oh my! What a beautiful little boy…he certainly is lucky to have 2 parents to who give him so much love…he reminds me of my little guys,,,ha, ha,,now 16, 17, and 18. They grow fast and are such a joy…God bless you and your little man:)

  11. Wow! I can’t believe he’s already 5 months old! My how time flies!!! 😀 He’s still as precious as ever.

  12. He is adorable. Such a perfect blend of his mom and dad! Glad to hear all is well. Grandma Alice does a fabulous job keeping me posted!

  13. What a sweet little boy you have! I can relate about loving him more each day. Just wait till he’s nine like mine. 🙂

  14. He is such a cutie-patootie! Maybe someone already said this, but since you’ve already started solids w/him, try giving him some solid food before putting him to sleep at night. Solid food tends to stick to their tummy better than breastmilk/formula (i.e. more likely to sleep longer at night). Good luck!

  15. He just gets cuter and cuter every day! I think Caleb and Easton are going to be good friends one day – they are a lot alike!!

  16. This little man is certainly a handsome guy. I LOVE this stage – when they are developing so quickly. Every day seems magical.

  17. So adorable!! Enjoy him. They grow up so fast. My little man will be one on March 26!! It wasn’t so long ago when he cut his first tooth, he now has 5!
