5 months!

Hard to believe that 5 months have passed us by!  It just amazes me that kids don't learn to speak until they've already been around for a couple of years.  I feel like he communicates so well already!  He has definitely found his voice, sometimes gibbering about whatever it is that excites him for minutes at a time.  Arjen is starting to sit unsupported for a few seconds at a time, although gravity still wins that one hands down (well, no hands down really - that's how gravity wins!).  Today however, marked a new milestone!!!  I can officially say that Arjen has learned to roll over.  He repeated it enough times, that I was actually able to catch it on camera - on the first take even!  For your viewing pleasure (oh, you may want to make sure the volume is down...he was slightly less than thrilled with this one):

Earlier today, our friends Nandita and Frits came over to play.  The 2 month age difference between these two is definitely becoming less obvious already!

When we were in Wisconsin, I used my camera phone to take pictures of a bunch of Andrew's baby photos.  This probably won't show up too well, but worth a shot (but how impressive is it, that a picture of a circa 1975 photo, taken with a camera phone can be posted online??)...anyhow...I wanted to show the history of the winter suit...
