1. Look who's SITTING!
2. He's also got all the signs of teething - white line on his gum, loads of drool, biting things that he, er, shouldn't. But no teeth yet.
3. Still very particular about his environment while he is nursing. If it is the least bit loud, or bright, or distracting (which I assure you, my home is never) then he will not nurse. So he gets many bottles and I pump for those feedings. Somehow I am still able to make enough milk, which surprises me since in the past the pump and I have had a rocky relationship. Apparently we are now BFF (or friends with benefits?). Still, I enjoy nursing more, so I hang on to what feedings I can and hope we can have a nice, long, run of it.
4. He is showing signs of being ready for solids - drinking more than 6 ounces in a feeding, waking up in the night after sleeping through for many weeks. But he's truly not very interested in receiving food from the spoon - he just makes a funny face and lets it slowly fall out of his mouth. I will keep at it, and hopefully he will develop the same love that the rest of his family members have for all things food.
5. He is a sweet baby. His whole face lights up when you smile or coo at him. He coos back - lots of babbling and cooing! He is not a smile-all-the-time baby though. He can be pretty serious. He likes his naps (in the crib, thankyouverymuch!) Which is also a blessing, I realize, because he is a great sleeper at home.
5.1 His rolls are the most heavenly thing ever!

He's a cutie!
I love that stage of sitting up but not going anywhere! It's very freeing as a parent. :)
He's SO cute!!!!
Oh Julie, he is five months already! (Oh, and that was last month..)
I've been staring in awe at Anne v Dijk's baby here .. and can hardly remember Tessa at that age! They truly grow so quickly.
