In this months baby news...
The high chair has made its reappearance at the kitchen table. Hello, old friend. Ari used to sit so still and quiet in my lap while I would eat, and now? He's become mr. grabby and shove in mouth man. So though he is still working on his independent sitting skills, I've perched him in this contraption where he gets to play and perhaps have the occasional smashed up banana, oatmeal (mixed with expressed milk), and maybe a dab of hummus or gaucamole -all on a pre-loaded spoon. This crazypants kid grabs the spoon and within moments can find his mouth and nom away. I've decided to not go the store-bought baby jar route this time around and will be trying my hand at Baby Led Weaning. More on that later. Maybe. Blogging with these 2 is not a commonplace sitch.

| Since the reappearance of the chairhigh, Milo is just itching to relive his good old times... |
 |
| old times die hard, apparently... cheerios and all |

| Ari laughing at his big bro. Big bro isn't always enthused about this... |
 |
| but in general, Milo will take the audience. |

| Ari sporting his Baltic Amber teething necklace. Seems to be the real deal because I haven't found it necessary to use any other method to relieve his gummy uncomfortable-ness. Except for the occasional frozen thing-a-ma-teething-bob, he's coping very well with the rite of teeth passing. So far, it's TWO! |
Every so often he cries like a real human baby! Aw...
No matter where we go (gym, store, meandering on a sidewalk or boardwalk) I get stopped and get questioned and get the happy. So many people have told me that he makes them want to have a baby, or have another baby. His demeanor has maintained a sweetness that is easily slurped up.

| happy 5 months! |
