Ollie B is 5 months old!

One perk of being 5 months old, is that over the last month his sleeping got WAY better (thus no blog-writing during one of his many nightly nursing sessions) - though that seems to be taking a few steps backwards these days...aye... I am extremely reticent to try out the sleep training (he just seems so little still, to be left alone to cry!!), so before we go there, next up is trying to get him to not only nap, but also sleep all night in his CRIB. Next weekend we try. :-/

Below are some 'catch up' photos of stuff that's been going on the past month:

Laughing hysterically at the sound of fingers on a balloon! (Also have a fabulous video of this :-)

Using his stroller with the 'big kid' seat, graduating from the bassinet!

Becoming friends with Jack, just a couple weeks younger than himself. 

Trying applesauce for the first time - he liked it! Has also tried avocado now, too. 

New carseat(!) which I excitedly installed and used for less than a day, once I realized this one doesn't have a sun shade OR recline well, meaning a slumped sleeping neck, and me freaking out he'll stop breathing...

First walk in the woods, enjoying some quality leaf-play time. 

Looking like the big kid(!) on a hangout with my friend Alesha's boy, Camden (just 9 weeks old!)

Daddy discovered Ollie loved this standing activity!

Hanging with big cousin Max at the Decordova Museum, during Aunt Susan's visit. 

Showing off the fabulous double chin on his first try in a swing!
