Speaking of sitting, Erik is now sitting up a lot (with a little help), pulling himself up, and even sitting by himself for longer and longer bits of time.
Erik loves to inch his way around. He is getting very mobile, between the rolling and inching. I see crawling coming up very soon.
Erik is absolutely in love with his "cuddle monkey". Every time he sees it, he reaches out for it, then gives it a cuddle and a kiss after it is given to him.
Erik loves squash and bananas best of the foods he has so far tried.
Erik loves playing with his toys and is becoming quite dexterous. He has an incredible grip. So far, he doesn't yank (much) on hair, but once he gets a hold of it, it's hard to get it back! He loves to hold everything, especially when in his car seat or swing or some other such thing--he's always holding onto the side with at least one hand.
Erik is growing like a weed--over 15lbs and 25"+ long now. It's amazing! He's about to out-grow (length-wise) his rear-facing car seat.
Erik has become a fairly consistent sleeper, going down about 10 at night and up at 5 in the morning (this morning he slept in until 6:30--score!).
Erik is so chatty. He has such a good tempered personality, but he definitely likes to let everyone know what he is thinking! I just wish we could understand more of it...
I can't even believe it's already been 5 months. Where does the time go?

Little dude just hangin' out at work. So cute!
