Ben is five months old

Ben is five months old! He is starting to fall into a rhythm of life - no longer taking cat naps whenever he can but taking 3 longer naps a day (if he doesn't get interrupted by his middle sister). He is definitely the more relaxed and laid back of the twins. He is also starting to grab things and loves to suck his thumb, which we discourage as much as possible! He rolled over a couple days ago for the first time! Ben talks when you coax him to but seems to prefer to listen and watch. He loves to blow bubbles. Unlike his sister, he either can't or won't support his weight on his legs. Every time I try to get him to stand, his legs immediately buckle if they weren't bent already. He started going to bed earlier around 7 or 7:30 p.m. now. I wake him up to feed him when I go to bed around 10 p.m. and then he generally eats one other time during the night around 2 or 3 a.m. but occasionally sleeps all the way through from 10 p.m. until morning. Ben loves to smile and also giggle
