five months.

How Benson is five months old is beyond me. I keep thinking he is like still my little 3 month old. This picture is a pretty accurate look for him. Finger in the mouth constantly. Sure do love him!

- Sleeping: This has been such a battle this past month. For sure the hardest part. He was sleeping through the night and now he has decided to wake up lots. Sometimes all he needs is his pacifier and other times he has cried for a while. We have just had to let him cry and thankfully he figures it out within like 10 minutes (although it seems longer). I think only once has he cried longer than that before I rescued him. We have tried lots of different things and are really hoping he figures this sleeping thing out soon...before the teeth come and we have to start all over again. He still does great during his naps.
- He has started sitting up! No sign of rolling, but he has no problem sitting up. Prop a few pillows behind him and he will stay there for quite a while.
- Laughs the best when his dad is playing with him.
- Got a new toy and loves it.

- Still drools a ton and loves to chew those fingers and sometimes his entire fists.
- Can take his pacifier in and out of his mouth. It gets real fun when he takes it out and throws it.
- Had his first Halloween
-Enjoyed a few last walks outside before the freezing winter comes.

Stay tuned for some fun videos of who else but...Benson. 

Happy Halloween!
