5 months

I don't even want to blink or I'm afraid Simon is going to grow too fast. He's already past the newborn stage! I've been true to my word, and let my house be more messy so I can enjoy holding him more. It drives me crazy, but then I look at his sweet face. I can't pry myself away from him to get cleaning done!

He wiggles himself in circles around his play mat
He rolls from stomach to back whenever he feels like it
He is smiling and talking constantly
He grabs and holds onto whatever he pleases (Raelynn's hair seems to be a popular choice lately)
He takes a pacifier while sleeping, but during the day, it's pretty much a play toy
He is totally fascinated with his feet
He likes the Bumbo for a short time, but prefers to be wiggling around on his play mat - the boy likes to move
He's weighing in at 16 pounds

I guess it's not the best background for a little boy, but he was being so stinking cute!

This is Simon on his first Easter
Looking quite handsome

Bryan always holds our children in strange ways
They always love it, though
This strange position kept Simon from crying
