5 Months!

Today marks Ben's fifth month with us. This past month has seen some of the most significant developmental jumps yet. He can roll over--and does so all the time. He can find a loose pacifier and bring it back to his mouth. He devours solid food. But most importantly, Ben is sturdier. He is heavier and stronger and likes to rough house to a degree.

Ben celebrated his first Halloween. We couldn't put him in just one costume, so we spread the holiday out over three days. Ben was a 1950s era Mousekateer at his day care parade. The next day he was Jake Blues of The Blues Brothers. On the actual holiday, Ben was my teddy bear. Kristina and I dressed in our PJs and he was our teddy bear. It was pretty cute.

Enjoy the pictures. We watched Sportscenter in our underwear, took head shots in the car seat, and cheered for the Broncos tonight.
