5 Months

Today, Solomon is 5 months old. I know I say this often... but my, how time flies! Solomon is a pretty happy baby, offering lots of smiles for all his family, and often time strangers too. He was sleeping about 10 hours at night... ("was" is the operative word in that phrase since now he is going closer to 7-8 hours. I think he's a pretty typical baby in that you think you've got something figured out, and then he changes everything just to keep us on our toes!) His latest tricks include almost rolling over, exersaucing in his exersaucer, spitting and blowing a lot of raspberries, drooling a lot, turning his head when his name is called, and (my personal favorite) "singing" with me when I sing to him. When I sing, he will often start cooing and ooing with me as he just stares right into my eyes. Oh how I treasure these moments! What a joy Solomon Hosea is to us!
