Lately Talmage has been smiling a lot like this:
It's just too cute!

Five Months...
Talmage turned 5 months old on Thursday! I thought it would be fun to take some pictures (surprise, surprise...), but he was being a little bit funny about the pictures. :)
In this sequence, he pretends I just tried to feed him a lemon.
Okay...take two. Let's pull out a monkey. Nope, now he's just going to be goofy.
"Sigh...come on, Mom! Enough already with the pictures!"
"There. Is that a good enough smile?"
"If you won't stop taking pictures, I'll grab the strap on the camera and eat it."
Maybe it will work better if I lay him on his tummy.
"I see you, Mom...you're still taking pictures! I thought we talked about this already."
This boy sure keeps us laughing!
Some highlights on his development:
-He will walk across the room if we hold onto his arms.
-He is getting used to solids...definitely enjoying the fruit more than the vegetables.
-He has a fetish with his feet (more on that later).
-He loves grabbing our faces, putting his fingers in our mouths, pinching our noses, and of course yanking my hair.
-He is a trooper about spending over 2 hours every day in the car as we drop Sam off at school and pick him up.
-He loves pushing buttons.
-His preferred method of learning about the world around him is hitting. When we let him touch something, he will whack it over and over again for several minutes until we take it away. Hopefully this won't be the case as he is exposed to other babies!

Joy Unrestrained
One of the things I love about babies is that their emotions are 100% genuine. You don't get pity laughs or courtesy smiles, and when they do smile it is with wholehearted joy!
That smile just melts my heart!
P.S. The posts for the next little while will most likely be minimal--we're in for a pretty busy month.

Sitting...Almost
We're still working on the whole sitting up thing here. Talmage can balance for a few seconds, but then inevitably something catches his attention and he whips his whole body around to see it, which makes him topple over. There is just nothing still about this baby! He's also really fascinated by his feet and always bends in half so his nose is almost touching the ground, which doesn't make for great sitting posture. :)
Last week, Sam called to me to show me how Talmage was sitting!
Cheesy smile for the camera!
Ahhh! Save me!
He's a lot better at keeping his balance while standing...we'll keep working on it.

Some Links
These webpages are two of our favorites! I thought I would share them with you.

This website has ratings for most newer movies. It breaks them down and you can read what everything in the movie that might be questionable is-from gory violence to name calling! This is our standard go-to prior to renting or going to a movie. It's so helpful!
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
