5 Months...

....Last Friday!  Where has the time gone??!  He's not a fragile little infant anymore...He's big (REALLY BIG, 18.9lbs!), he's smart, he's got quite the personality, and knows exactly what he wants when he wants it!!

Harper's finally able to stick his toes in his mouth...!  Yet to be photographed!  And as of yesterday he's in his stroller sitting up for the first time!  It's been in a reclined position since he was big enough to fit in it.  Big deals, big deals!!  He also "tripods" which means he sits up but leans forward with his hands on his legs, or the ground.  It's the beginning of learning how to sit unassisted!  He also goes straight from laying to standing when I pull him up with his arms!  We have pulled him gently from his arms for months so he would have to support his head and neck.  After a short time he could do it, then we would practice tripoding and just yesterday he thought it would be a fantastic idea to just stand right up!  He is so strong!

Great grandpa Keith and great grandma Nanci shipped Christmas gifts to Harper a couple weeks ago.  In the package came lots of goodies, but Harper's favorite thing was a set of Fisher Price bongo drums!  He LOVES them!!  He bangs his little hands just like Grandpa Jack plays his real bongos at church!

Oh and for the record...I still can't figure out how to upload videos.  Hopefully by Wednesday I can figure it out!  I even tried on a PC...No luck.  Sorry!!

Five month shot, sticking that tongue out with a grin!!
A little difficult to see but smiling before our walk...Lily gets free rides as often as she can!
There he is, sitting up like a big boy!
Big man before swimming lessons!
There he is tri-poding with his bongos!!
He's taking care of Mommy this year with Daddy gone for the big February 14th!
