Bennett at Five Months

Oh, sweet Bennett, please stop growing up so quickly!   I'm treasuring the moments, but they still slip by too fast.

 Our smiley guy is now 5 months old and constantly babbling and screeching and laughing (often at Orelia).

 He's flipping tummy to back and back to tummy and getting stronger every day.

 He discovered his feet just yesterday, and has been yanking at his socks ever since.

 We started him on solids, but he hasn't shown much interest yet.  So I'm backing off for now and will be more diligent about it soon.

 He's out of his velcro swaddle and sleeps in his Zippadee Zip, which has been a lifesaver.  I highly recommend it for the swaddle transition.

He loves going for walks in the stroller or the Bjorn and still loves his play mats.  He never took to the bouncer chair, but seems to like the Bumbo at mealtimes with the family.

 He enjoys his three naps each day and sleeps about 12 hours at night.  I appreciate every hour of his sleep, and I think he does too.

We adore our happy, fun, and sweet five month-old!
