Silas Boone 5 months

My baby Silas is now 5 months. Wow! I can't imagine life without him. He gets a whole lot of attention from everyone in our family. I know you can't spoil a baby, but he thinks we're here to give him attention! He's so adorable, we just can't resist! He's rolling over both ways and can get off the blanket I lay him on so quickly. He babbles a lot now, and his favorite sound is "ba ba ba ba". Patrick and I are both training him everday, but to say 2 different words. Patrick wants him to say dada. I want him to say mama. We'll see which one comes first. (JEB all said dada first)
Silas is sleeping great at night. He usually goes to bed around 9 or 9:30 and wakes up at 6:30. He takes 3 naps. The first two are about 2 - 2 1/2 hours. The last one is always different. He loves to eat solid foods now. We are starting him on fruits tonight. Daddy surprised him with baby vanilla custard yesterday. He loved it, of course! I think he was on a little sugar high last night from it. He kicked and smiled and kicked and smiled for about an hour! He still is fighting his clogged tear duct in his eye. Some days are better than others, then some mornings he wakes up with it completely matted shut. Poor Guy. We found a doctor in Maine that we'll take him to for his 6 month checkup. We're looking forward to a day in the States!! (I used that phrase, Keela!)

I'm so thankful the Lord gave us a new addition to our family. We pray everyday that Silas will accept the Lord as his personal Saviour at a young age. Time is too precious to waste. Only what's done for Christ will last.
