5 months

While we were celebrating Maggie's birthday with lots of hubbub, Henry quietly turned five months old on us. He's sitting up, has two teeth coming in, and is about to start rice cereal. Wow.

New tooth

Sigh...and so it begins.




It turns out it's not very easy to photograph baby teeth that are just starting to come in, so we gave up on that and focused on how cute Henry is in his fall hoodie instead.




And for those keeping track, this is our third round of teething this year. It took a set of puppy teeth followed by a set of adult teeth to get to this beautiful smile:

Pumpkins

Slobbering all over poor David:
