5 months and some more

William is 5 months old!  I must say that he is still the cutest baby EVER!  I love this little munchkin so much.
Will has reached some milestones in the last little while.  He now rolls over.  He doesn't quite know what to do once he on his tummy, but at least he can get there!  He now eats solids, at least when I make the time to feed him them.  He only likes cereal with mixed pear or banana so far, but at least it's a start.  I have been making his baby food, and I must admit that I wish that I would have done it with the other two babies also!  It's super easy and SUPER cheaper than buying it in the stores.
And let's not forget his biggest accomplishment this last month . . . .William now takes a bottle again!!!  (huge sigh of relief from mom)  I just decided one day that I was going to get him to take that bottle again no matter what!  And after about 20 minutes of him messing around with the bottle nipple, he finally gave in.  YES!  I can now leave him with a sitter or whoever and not have to worry about him wanting to nurse before I get to him.  Good job little Will!  Love you baby!
In other news,  we are all doing well. Summer is ending, KC started 2nd grade on Monday and Xander starts Kindergarten next week.  I think they are both excited.  And I am so excited to get back into a routine and to have some time alone in the morning, just me and Will.  And hopefully, I can squeeze in some gym time too. 
Thomas has been very busy this past summer, with bishopric duties.  He has been away so much doing Youth Conference, Girl's Camp, Scout camps, etc.  So, now that summer is ending we are glad to be seeing him more around our home.  He just got a new position at work and starts on Monday.  I'm sure that will keep him busier too, but hopefully will be able to set his own hours with this job, making his schedule a little more flexible.  We'll see about that.  I know he works so hard for us and others,  I know that I take him for granted.
Here's some pictures of a few thing that we've done lately.  We have a busy few months ahead of us also, but are excited to see what's planned...  Labor day camping trip with just our little family, my 30th bday, KC's 8th bday and BAPTISM!, weekend trip with some friends, family trip and triathlon in St. George, and I'm sure I'm missing a few other things too, but it's going to be a fun fall!  My favorite time of the year.
 Grandma Harris took us to the zoo, and of course spoiled us again.
 Such goof balls.
 Showing baby brother the elephants.
 William loves his borrowed Bumbo chair from Aria.
Seriously one of the best inventions for babies thus far.
 Not quite sure about this mom!
Heaven sent.  He literally takes my breath away.
