5 months

I swear you can say da da. 

You want to crawl so badly, and sort of do, backwards.  For at least the past month, whenever we put you on the ground, you are in a completely different place when we turn back around - rolling, scooting, inching your way around.  You especially love finding yourself under the Christmas tree! You have mastered sitting up - it only took a week or two of practicing, and occasionally you fall over, but you often catch yourself. 

You want solid food, but mom wants to wait... You claw at everything at the dinner table. Soon, baby boy, soon.  You don't sleep much all day-catnaps mostly-but you go 5-6 hour stretches at night.  Those stretches are starting to get shorter, so I know you need more food...

Wearing 6-9 month clothes most of the time...

You watch your big brother with such awe - and want to be with him wherever he is.  I can't wait til you two play together!
