You turned 5 months today. Mommy couldn't be more happier than seeing you interact more with her and Daddy. You're turning out to be like a mini-Daddy though. Mommy's not too happy with that because that gives Daddy a lot of bragging rights. And Mommy just hates it when Daddy makes her feel he's ahead of her...esp when it comes to you. :( This is how lambing is for Mom and Dad. You'll know when you're old enough to understand Mommy and Daddy's conversations. You might even laugh a bit yourself.
What made Mommy happy today though was that Daddy bought you a mini-cake! Daddy's slowly starting to be thoughtful and sweet. That's really something! Seems like it's not only Mommy whose undergoing a life-changing experience with your coming...Daddy's going through the same as well!

Here's how far you've developed based on Baby center:
Homing in on sounds
Your baby now realizes where sounds come from, and he'll turn quickly toward a new one. One of the easiest ways to engage him is to jingle a set of keys. Wind chimes are great attention-getters, too.
Your baby may now be able to recognize his own name and understand that you're speaking to him when you say it. You may notice that your little one turns his head when you call him or talk about him with others.
If you want to engage and entertain your baby, all you need to do is talk to him. At this age, babies don't learn language from the television or radio, so turn them off and use real dialogue instead.
A growing range of emotions
Your baby can't express his emotions in the same complex way that you can. Although he can let you know in clear ways when he's angry, bored, or happy, his ability to show love and humor are just developing.
Your baby also shows a strong attachment to you by raising his arms when he wants to be picked up and by crying when you leave the room. He may also give you hugs and kisses.
And he's beginning to get the joke — he'll laugh at funny expressions and try to make you laugh, too. Keep the laughter flowing with your silly faces!
