Ben is 5 months and chatty

So chatty, in fact, that he took to waking in the night for conversation. Fortunately this only lasted a few nights. He didn't wake last night, and knock wood, he hopefully won't wake tonight. Fortunately he'll happily chat with himself after I go in and get him comfortable again.

Ben also turned 5 months on May 27th. Granny and Granddad came up to the house to spend the night with him while Nic and I attended a wedding. Ben was a good boy for Nic's folks, aside from the early moring chat.

New Ben stuff:

• he's starting to get the hang of jumping in his Jumperoo (I'll post a video clip soon)
• reaching for objects (if I hold a rattle in front of him he'll reach out and take it)
• holding his own bottle (he is really doing well controlling his own bottle and can independantly feed himself for short periods of time)
