So Big, All Of The Sudden

 I keep looking over at Elliot and thinking, "Oh my GOSH how are you this BIG??"  It seems like it took so much longer for Lucy to get to be 5 months old.



This is my favorite age.  He is SO fun.  He plays with his feet several times a day and loves to be kissed on the neck -- it makes him giggle.



He also is just barely starting to like to be tickled under his arms.  And his little hands are always on the move... looking for something to play with.



He finds his pacifier pretty frequently now, and though he can't yet put it into his mouth, he has a good time playing with it.



He loves having his legs pumped like a bicycle--he thinks it's great and always shows us this huge grin when we do it.



I'm just amazed at how quickly he seems to be growing.  I'm trying not to miss any of it -- to take it all in.  But it's hard to commit it to memory when the sleep is still so terrible.



I'm thankful for this blog, which we'll look back on to remind us of these sweet months.
