Five Months - On the move!

Miles had his one month follow up for his weight yesterday.  Turns out he's a banana baby.  What's a banana baby, you ask?  Well, my friends, he's tall and thin.  His height went back up to the 50th percentile while his weight stayed along the 10th percentile.  All the extra calories he ate this month went into growing tall and none went into extra chub rolls.  In honor of his being a banana baby, this morning we fed him banana!

We've been on the food train this week.  Let's hear it for rice cereal, applesauce and bananas!

The little man has been a lot more mobile.  He can easily skootch backwards:

I don't know how I got under this crib.
And I don't know how to get out.

He can roll both ways as a very inefficient method to get to things he wants, like toys or folded laundry:

He hasn't quite got the whole sitting thing mastered yet:

This week also marks the beginning of Operation: Get Rid of Pacifier.  He has napped all week long WITHOUT. A. PACIFIER!  He also slept a few nights without one.  But the end of the week marks increasing exhaustion on my part both from work and nighttime parenting.  So Wednesday through Friday night he had the pacifier for PART. OF. THE. NIGHT!  Guys, we're doing it!  We're getting rid of the pacifier!  Here is photographic evidence:
