Dayton is such a happy, laid-back baby! He laughs and smiles easily and rarely cries (I hear from others that he cries occasionally, but for me, he's easy as can be!). He is growing so fast and recently I went through all of his clothes in his dresser and closet and came out with 2 diaper boxes full of clothes to give to Goodwill and 4 boxes full to give to my friend Alycia, who is having a baby boy in September! I cannot believe he is only 5 months old and I am already getting rid of 6 full boxes of clothes! I kept 1 box for myself of his newborn clothes, hats, and pjs that I couldn't part with. Every kid needs a box of clothes to open when they are expecting their first child! I loved getting a box from my mom and even Casey had his own "going home from the hospital" outfit that we were able to put on Dayton. So fun. :)
Dayton has become a mover, so capturing his 5 month picture was a bit more difficult! As a result, it's a little blurry. Oh well.

roll over from his back to his tummy (he now rolls both ways!)

Important Events:
celebrated my 3rd Mother's Day and my 1st Mother's Day with Dayton! (Technically I was pregnant with him last Mother's Day, but that doesn't count;) Casey made a card that they both "signed" -- Sawyer actually colored on it, but Casey held the marker in Dayton's hand, haha. He also made me a slideshow of the 2 of them and I also got a gift certificate to my favorite nail salon! We went to Mother's Day lunch with Casey's parents and then a movie just the 2 of us that evening.
Here's my cutie pie from the last month…

Such a FUN age! Casey and I have always said that our favorite "baby stage" is around 7-10 months. He is getting close to that and I am super excited! He is already becoming so interactive and it is a lot of fun! Bring on the summer!!!
