Can you believe Jesper is five months old? I can't. I keep remembering a quote from an old coworker, "If you want the next 20 years to fly by, have kids." I think it must be true!
Jesper is sleeping consistently about 11 hours at night. The vacation to Smith Mountain Lake messed up his schedule a little, and he has gotten up once per night a couple times since then, but for the most part he is a good sleeper. I've also finally gotten to the point where I don't have to get up and pump at night if he's sleeping longer than normal. Which means 8 hours per night for me (finally - sweet sleep!).

He drains 6 oz. bottles (we're just now considering moving him to 7 oz.) at every feeding and has started trying foods other than cereal. We started him on carrots for one week and just tried green beans this last weekend. He likes eating. In fact, I think he eats even when he's not hungry just because it's fun. He LOVES oatmeal and rice cereal but isn't so sure about the vegetables just yet.

We returned home from Labor Day to find that it was cold - about 65 degrees - in Minnesota! Out came the sweatshirts and sweaters. Jesper has just a couple long-sleeve 6 mo. outfits that he's quickly outgrowing, so we pulled them out so he got chance to wear them. One of them is shown in the pictures below. There is a bulldog design on the pants!
As you can probably tell, he's teething. He's drooling like crazy (see the patch of drool on his knee) and really loves chewing on his Sophie la Giraffe teething toy. If he has a pile of 5 toys in front of him, he'll pick that one every time. :)
