Casey @ 5 Months
Casey is 5 months old today! What a busy time he has had these last few weeks! At 4 months he was certainly rolling over but he has now mastered the task this past month. Once you place him on the floor on his back, he immediately pops right over to his tummy. He is staying on his tummy for longer and longer stretches and is now starting to learn that he can roll back over to his back if he wants. When he is on his tummy he manages to "scooch" around by pushing himself with his legs and feet. We think we might have an early crawler on our hands. Don’t know if Mom and Dad are quite ready!
Casey has also found his toes. The hands are old news (but still of interest) and his little toes are not only irresistible to his folks, but apparently to himself as well. He can often be found with fingers or toes in his mouth. We wonder if teething is around the corner too because the baby drool faucet is on.
Casey was also fitted for and received a DOC Band. Like his brother, Casey’s noggin isn’t perfectly round. It is technically known as plagiocephaly but is essentially an asymmetrical head. And, like Cole, it isn’t too severe but without treatment it could potentially cause some problems later on. He’ll likely wear his DOC Band for about the same amount of time that Cole had to (about 3 months). We are biased, we know, but he sure does look adorable!
What is amazing is Casey’s developmental timing to Cole. Give or take a week the milestones thus far have been within the same timeframe. We think they certainly look like brothers but they act and grow like brothers too!
And what a way to celebrate being 5 months... Casey was baptized into the Catholic Church today! How special it was to have Fr. Denis perform the baptism (and he flew all the way from Rome no less!). A special shout out to his God parents David Tumlin and Ellen Tumlin too! Casey had family and friends join him for the big event. And, like many before him, Casey donned the "Black family baptismal gown" worn by his great grandfather on down the line, to include his own father and brother. We will have a separate post about his baptism but couldn’t let the blessed event go by without a mention!
Casey continues to be a very happy boy with lots of smiles for everyone. We are proud of our boys!
Here is a glance at Casey's progression over the past 5 months
And finally... a look at Cole at 5 months next to his 5 month old brother
