5 Months Old Today!

We recently heard someone say on the radio: "When you have children, the days go slow, but the years go fast." Rai, today you turned 5 months old and even after just this short time with you, we see just how true that quote is.
When we're with you, we enjoy every moment so thoroughly that time seems to stop. We are fully in the moment, watching every expression on your face, every move of your arm, every twist of your head, every adoring gaze you give us, and every inquisitive look you give the world around you.
On the other hand, we can't believe that 5 months have passed already. Last month we wrote about how much you've changed since you were born and now, at month five, we can see even more changes in you. You're bigger, you're stronger, and you're much more aware of events around you. Not to mention, you're curious and grab and pull at anything within your reach. Your voice is loud and clear, shrill even. You can sit up. And, finally, you're starting to get some meat on those baby bones of yours!
Happy birthday, son. You can't even imagine the joy you've brought to our lives. We love you very much.
