Charlie turned 5 months today.  It's crazy to look back at photos and see how much he has grown.  He still is a very happy, smiley and giggly baby and we just love him to pieces.  Charlie 5 months old We started this month in Portland at the end of our vacation, and ended it back home in California.  This month marked a few very exciting firsts for Charlie.  His first plane ride, first time in the highchair, and first time in the jumper.  A whole new world sitting at the table Other big milestones for him are I took him off Zantac, his reflux medication, and we transitioned him to sleep in a sleep sack.  Speaking of sleep, he is still not great at it, but we've made progress in the self soothing department which is helping us get him down at night. Charlie is grabbing things much more purposefully now and, of course, everything goes straight to his mouth.  He is sucking on his hands and fingers more too...

Sydney turned 5 months on the 9th.  5 months!  She is becoming more and more fun each day.  This month Sydney perfected her rolling (from her back to her tummy, still working on the other way), she acquired some new noises and started laughing more often.  She likes to sit, but hasn't figured out how to do it on her own.   She also is becoming very interested in food.  When she sits in my lap while eating dinner, she watches my fork go from the plate to my mouth every bite.  This month we celebrated Halloween, and had a visit from my parents. Oh, and she started wearing a bigger size clothes so I was super excited to dress her in adorable new things. Here are my favorite photos from the month: Our Sunday walk to Peet's coffee Striking a pose in a new outfit - the sweater is a hand knit gift I received - so impressive playing with Daddy Getting ready for daycare Lot's of smiles these days Flying!
