Milestones!

Silas has hit a few milestones...

He is rolling around, and 'round, and 'round...which has led him to discover he now prefers sleeping on his side--with his face buried in the sheet or mattress. So, we periodically have to check on him during naps and during the night to roll him back over. 

He has discovered his feet! He discovered his feet last week and now wants to play with them all the time. He especially loves it when he is in a sleeper, and he is able to grab the footie area and just hang on and roll around (see photo on the left below). It really is adorable. He looks so proud of himself when he does it, too!

Look at his adorable birthmark in the picture on the right...I just love it!

Perhaps our favorite milestone (so far) is the fact that he is sitting up! He doesn't do it for long periods, and usually needs something stimulating to keep his attention to do it, but he can do it. Today, Alan was able to capture the picture below:

Notice him sitting up AND grabbing his foot. 

How precious! It is amazing how just 10-20 seconds of something so simple makes us so proud! 

Silas has his 6-month check-up next week. We can't wait to see how much he has grown since his 4-month appointment. He is already almost as big as Alan was when he was about 8-months old!

Finally, we have taken some video of him in the last couple of weeks. The first is a video of us tickling him mercilessly and him giggling like crazy. The second video is a weird cry he has started lately...trying to get our attention, maybe? What a pitiful face in the second video! The second one is also a little blurry because Silas was moving so much. Enjoy!
