Elliott turned 5 months old today. He is having so much fun practicing sitting up on his own. It's amazing. One day he was just barely sitting on his own and then last night I sat behind him as he wavered back and forth, but he was able to keep his balance. Tonight while we played on the floor by his mirror, he was able to stay up by himself even longer. He flashed me his wide open mouth smile and seemed so proud of himself. Of course, I was so proud of him too. This morning I gave Elliott his first taste of real food. I put a piece of a banana on the tray of his walker. At first he completely ignored it and then finally he tried to pick it up. It kept flying off the tray and I had to wash it off a few times, but he did manage to get some of it on his fingers and put it in his mouth. It's going to be so exciting to start giving him other foods. I am going to try to wait until 6 months, but a little sample here and there should be fine. We had a nice day together today which included meeting up with my old friend Mark and then going on a little lunch date just the two of us. There is no other boy I would rather be out to lunch with.
