5 Months Old!

Our Little Buddy is already five months old, and I can hardly believe it! We have been managing our homeschool activities with him tagging along for over a month now, and it is actually going pretty smoothly. That is evidence that life with this baby is starting to become more predictable and a little more manageable. He slept through the night (8:45pm until 6:30am) for the very first time on my birthday last week . . . wasn't that a thoughtful birthday gift he gave me? What a sweetie! Of course, it was only a tease, because he immediately went back to waking up for a feeding in the middle of the night right away. But, still! He is becoming his own little person (okay--a person seemingly without a neck--but still a person!) with clear personality traits: he is very observant and intense and needs a lot of TLC, but he is also sweet, loving, and giggly . . . and seems to adore his older siblings! We're so lucky to have this darling little guy!
