Griffin is Five Months Old!

This big five month old is doing BIG things these days!  He recently started sitting up on his own...and this new skill is now his favorite thing to do.  I think he would sit in the floor for hours just playing with toys if I'd let him!  Lately, we laugh about him being nosey and always wanting what we have :)  He's reaching for everything in sight, and once he gets his hands on it, it goes straight to his mouth!  He's still getting a lot of "tummy time", and is doing great at rolling over in both directions.  We've started laying him on his belly and putting a toy out in front of him, and it's so funny to see him wiggle forward as he tries to reach it.  As sad as it is, I guess it's only a matter of time before he takes off crawling!  It's so much fun spending time with him at home, because it seems like every day he's changing in some way.

He continues to be a happy baby and loves flashing a big gummy grin every chance he gets :)  It may not be gummy for long, though...because he's working on cutting his first tooth!  He's doing well with teething for the most part, but you can tell when it starts to get the best of him.  He'll be putting those new teeth to good use when they come in, because he LOVES to eat!  We've tried lots of new foods this month, and are quickly finding out which ones are "keepers"!

 He loves sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, pears, apples, and peaches.  He's pretty grossed out by green beans and peas, and bananas were a little too sweet for him.  Introducing solid food has been one of our favorite adventures so far, and his expressions are priceless!

We're so thankful to have been blessed with such a happy, healthy baby boy, and we're looking forward to celebrating the Holidays with him this year!
