Five Months!

I can't believe my little guy is already more than 5 months old! Time is flying by, and I'm so grateful to be able to stay at home with Sebastian and witness every single moment. He is getting so much stronger in torso and I think he'll be sitting up on his own soon. For now, he loves being able to sit up propped up on the couch -- I think he loves the new perspective and it gives him a little practice sitting upright too.

 Today, he entertained himself for nearly an hour shrieking in joy at the top of his little lungs for no reason at all. He was staring at the wall, looking at himself in a mirror, and just laying on his back making great noise and excitement. It definitely made me reconsider my feelings of frustration at my neighbors' noisy dog.

 We're still working on solid foods. He tried pears today for the first time and loved them. I think they might be another regular along with apples (homemade) and sweet potatoes. The rice cereal didn't work for him, so we just set that aside for another time and went straight for the fruits and veggies.

 He also is giggling way more which is just amazing. He smiles A LOT already, and of course my natural reaction is to smile back at him--throw giggling into the mix, you have one happy household! :)

 Oh, and I've decided that he is very photogenic...he makes the photos that I take look so great!! We also found a great deal on professional baby pictures by a friend of ours, so I can't wait to see how they will turn out! We're going to wait to have them done until he can sit up on his own...so for now, I'll just keep snapping pictures of my own!
