Zain: Five Months

Zain is changing so fast and I've hardly written about him.  He is rolling over, both back to belly and belly to back.  He is blowing raspberries.  He is laughing and smiling like crazy.  Just about two days ago, he discovered his hands and you will often find him holding them up and staring at them now.  He sleeps through the night only occasionally. 

He is so precious!  This is one happy little guy.  Any time I look at him, he flashes me the biggest most dimply grin that completely melts my heart.  Maya adores him and he adores her.  She has taken to rubbing her face on his and laying on him in order to get her face right up next to his.  He has learned a trick (maybe out of self defense)--hair pulling!  He grabs a big handfull of her (or my) hair and does not let go!  He likes to be on his tummy and does this kind of inch worm thing where he lays his face down and sticks his butt up, then he lifts his head up and then goes back to head down, butt up.  I think it will turn into crawling before we know it.  He is so different from Maya, so much more physical at this age than she was.  He is a charmer and loves to look around the room and grin at anyone who he can get to look back at him.  He is patient and if he can just get his thumb into his mouth, he can soothe himself, even when he's really hungry.  I love this little guy so much!  Happy 5 month birthday Zain-er!
