Five Months Old

The Liger has two teeth at the bottoom now. Boy the teething stage is rough! He can also sit by himself for a few minutes before he topples over. We always sit in front of the mirror and he plays with a toy, and every time he glances up and sees himself he gets all excited and starts "oooohing and aaaahing" and he puffs up his little chest and gets a burst of energy and tries to launch forward with his little butt...so basically he goes nowhere. He just makes a funny movement like he's trying to walk with his bottom, it's so cute! I love when he puffs up his chest - it reminds me of Meeko in Pocahontas when he stuck the chief hat on and puffed out his chest. Liger isn't crawling just yet but he loves to kick his legs and push himself in the direction he's facing and he manages to move himself forward...we can no longer leave him on the bed by himself. He loves to be in his walker in the kitchen - he tries to open all the cabinets but his walker gets in the way. He also loves to terrorize our plant - he tries to eat its leaves or crunch it up in his little hands.
