Sweet Pea ~ 5 months

Yesterday marked 5 months for li'l Sweet Pea. In addition to rolling both ways, he can sit up alone for short periods, and he rocks back & forth (pre-crawling movements) when I put him on his hands and knees. No first tooth has appeared yet, but his hand is contantly in his mouth. And his 18+ pounds are purely milkfat...no solid foods yet...I'm planning to hold off as long as I can on that.

Interestingly, when my other three kiddos each reached 5 months old, I was already back to my pre-pregnancy weight; but this time around, I'm still 8-10 pounds away from that goal. I'm fine with that, it's just different from the past norm.

As I write, the kids and I are spending time at my folks' place. Sweet Pea had his first experience on Cody (pony) this morning! (I'll post more pictures of all the kids later in the week).
