5 months old!

Much to my dismay, Little Sunrise continues to get less little everyday.  


 He is not rolling over yet, but he will sit up for about a minute.

 He is still the most smiley, cuddly, happy little boy, and also a chatterbug.  He can say "da da."

 He sleeps about 10 hours a night (7 PM 'til 5 or 6 AM)....

 and still nurses like a champ about 7 times a day...

  although he's not totally thrilled with solid foods yet.

My heart just bursts sometimes when I hold this little guy! Since he is most likely our last baby, we really treasure all the quiet moments with him.  I really believe heaven won't be heaven unless I have a perfect memory, and so I am trying to create as many wonderful things to remember as possible.  Each milestone brings both joy and sadness, and the knowledge that we cannot get these days back.  I just want to hold on so tight and take it all in so I can remember this precious time!

I can't believe he is getting so big. What is your secret for the sleep? (alcohol?)j/k I've thought of that on desperate nights. He is super cute! I think it is funny how much siblings look alike, yet have their own look.
O.k. so you know your way around with a great camera? Do tell, what are your secrets. Do you have any really great ideas on how to become a proficient photographer, and know how to fix them up? I have Photoshop Elements, but don't quite know my way around yet. One last thing...you coming to ID soon? We'd love to get together!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I got a recording studio in our basement. I have pro tools software a new keyboard etc... If you guys are ever up in Idaho (best place on earth) you should stop by and show me what you know. Since I am a man who enjoys pretty much everything, I narrowed my hobbies and i've been focusing on songwriting. I love it!
