Graham--5 months!

unofficial weight: 16.1 pounds
teeth count: 2

Sweet Graham has TWO teeth that just add to the cuteness of his smile and to the aggressiveness with which he can chomp on his toys.  He is quick to smile--especially for his siblings--and is also quick to complain if he feels he's been wronged. :)  He's had his first road trip and his first Halloween.  Here's what he's up to these days:
• Figuring out how to grab toys and bring them immediately to his mouth.
• Rolls from back to tummy and tummy to back.  Hangs out on his tummy happily and pivots and scootches around enough to make his way off whatever blanket I put him on.
• Getting more and more playful and interactive. Laughs and smiles lots.
• Spits up frequently. Especially when he's tired.
• Is generally a decent sleeper when it comes to naps (though Daylight Savings has thrown a wrench in that this week). Nighttime is unpredictable.  Usually he's up once around 3 or 4 am then goes back down til 6 or 7 am.  But sometimes he sleeps all night and sometimes he's up a couple of times.  I truly have no idea what time it will be when I check the clock.
• Has completely rejected the pacifier--MUCH to my chagrin. Fingers are all he wants/needs, which definitely has its pros and cons.
• Spends a lot of time blowing raspberries and spitting.
• While nursing, his free hand is usually stretched up, rubbing his face and the top of his head.

 That tongue. :)
 Back rolls. 
 First swing!
 Brothers are the best. 
 Babe wakes up so happy.  Love those sleepy eyes.
 Sunday best.
 Give him all the chew toys!
 Ready for bed.
 Play time.
 Baby's 1st Halloween.
Silly siblings.
