Happy five months to me!  This past month has been a big one for me developmentally, including my first solid foods (October 13) and my first time rolling from my tummy to my back (I’ve done it twice – October 8 and October 24).  Thus far my rolling trick has only been witnessed by my grandma and grandpa, but I’m sure I’ll show this skill off a lot more in the near future.

I’m still a big healthy boy (18 lbs 13 oz and 26.5 inches), but I’ve been having trouble sleeping through the night … in fact, I’ve been waking as many as seven times in a ten hour period for the past month and a half.  So this next month Mommy and Daddy will be beginning the process of sleep training me, allowing me to learn the skill of soothing myself in the middle of the night.
