5 months

Ben turned 5 months old over the weekend. Hard to believe, isn't it!



He still isn't sleeping through the night, but at least he is back to getting up only once a night. There for a couple of weeks it was four of five times a night. So once isn't too bad at all! Our growing little boy weighs in at 17lbs 4 oz. He is rolling all over the place and trying to sit up. We can get him to "sit" for a few seconds to play with a toy. Ben has found a new love...the exersaucer. He can entertain himself for quite awhile surrounded by all those new toys. It is so fun to listen to him squeal and laugh. When he smiles his mouth goes wide open.

Nothing makes Ben happier than being outside. And bath time is still a favorite activity for him. He always has his fingers, hand, and sometimes even both hands in his mouth; although it is looking like he might turn out to be a thumb sucker. He's drooling like crazy and biting on everything he can get a hold of, but no sign of a little toothers yet! Well, that about sums up our little guy....could he be any sweeter?
