Julian at 5 Months


Our sweet Julian has made some huge leaps forward in the last month or so.  In his 4-month post, we neglected to mention that he got his two bottom teeth at around 3 1/2 months.  Since then, he has added two more which you can just barely see in the photo above.  Strangely, he did not get his front teeth, but rather the next ones out, giving him a slightly vampirish appearance.  Part of me hopes that he can keep the front teeth under wraps until after Halloween.  He would make the cutest little bat.

Along with the teeth came a clear interest in expanding his dining options, an interest that he exhibited by reaching for every cracker, glass of water, or sandwich I held in my hand.  What he didn't know is that the path to cheezits and chicken parmigian panini is paved by sweet potatoes and pureed peas - but he doesn't seem to mind.  In fact, he took on his new options with gusto and almost immediately reached for the spoon so that he could feed himself.  


Julian's other new interest is the jumperoo.  He loves it.  Go JR, go!
