Time Keeps on Ticking

As always, it's been a long time. But things have been busy at the Kempe house! I've been back at school full time, residency interviews are in process, and holiday events and travel are taking up the rest of our time. The little man turned 5 months old on December 10. I think this is my favorite stage so far. Shepherd's personality is really starting to show. He is such a happy baby. He loves to talk (more like yell) all of the time. He has discovered his feet and seems to have either hands or feet in his mouth at all times. He is sleeping through the night regularly unless there are unforeseen interruptions (pooping, peeing, traveling, being sick...) - which seem to be too frequent! He loves to spend time on his belly and rolls over immediately when we put him down. He is starting to eat some solid foods, but - surprise, surprise - he is not very interested in them! He eats rice cereal in the morning and a fruit or vegetable at dinner. He has made some pretty aweful faces when we've fed him bananas and peaches. He acts like we're giving him lemon juice or something! He is also starting to pay more attention to Bea although I can't say the reverse is true of Bea paying attention to him. Maybe some day they will be friends...
Well, here are some pics of what's been going on in the past month.

Merry Christmas from Bea. She got her present early: a very fancy dog bed from Costco!
