Has It Been 5 Months Already?????

Wow! How time has flown! Hard to believe that 5 months ago today, I was in labor and that in a few hours, Reuben Joseph entered the world. What a joy the journey has been so far - I couldn't have imagined how much this little guy would change, challenge, and completely consume our hearts with love! He is such a blessing and hardly a day goes by that I don't genuinely thank God for truly giving us the desires of our hearts. He has actually just woken up so I may not get to write a lot but I did want to update you on what he's been doing over the past few days.
He has already 'sprouted' his second tooth! Two in 10 days - pretty impressive if you ask me, and not a grizzle about any of it! In fact, the way we discovered the second one was coming through was as we were showing someone his first tooth. Nathan said, 'Wow, I think his second tooth is coming through as well' and sure enough, you could see the edges just breaking the surface. I guess this means I have to look for a toothbrush now???? :)
He also had his first 'sleep' in his cot last night (we thought the bassinet may be getting a little cold for him at night, even though he still fit in it and probably could've stayed there another month.) He actually ended up waking a couple of times and I'm not sure why - possibly he's just getting used to the new 'big baby' bed. He looks so tiny lying in his cot which reminds me that he is still quite little.
He also had his first taste of 'solids' yesterday (i.e. baby rice) which if you ask me, tastes pretty bland but supposedly it's tasty to babies. He didn't quite have the concept of what he was supposed to do but he did manage to swallow a couple of mouthfuls before he decided he'd had enough. I will try again today and fingers crossed, we will have more success. I'm pretty sure he's ready for more than just milk now as he often seems hungry even after he's had a full feed. I'm quite excited about giving him new foods to try and am debating whether to go with pumpkin or apples first... hmmmmm.
I will add more maybe tomorrow but Reuben is having a bit of a protest now because he has been awake and I'm not getting him up yet. Here are a couple of photos.
