He's ever so cute. Lucky you!

Adorable. I want to kiss those little cheeks and toes. The only current baby in the family will be 3 in January. But - he's being joined by a little sister Oct 6. Our nephew and his wife have confided her name will begin with E, but that's all they've shared, are refusing to add any more letters ....

Enjoy that baby. The next couple of years go so quickly.

Cutie pie.

He's cute, I don't have kids, is 5 months early to be sitting up? Lol.

Beautiful baby. What a joy he must be!

Bright and beautiful!

Precious!

Never have had children, but I'd take that one.

What a sweet face! And I love those rosy cheeks.

He is adorable. I love those chubby cheeks.

What a cute punkin!

Cuteness overload, makes me smile.

How sweet! And with just a hint of orneriness showing.

OMG..what a beautiful little guy. I would just be hugging on that sweet one. :)

He is so happy! Handsome little guy!

He is darling!

Ritamay, I have a friend who, many years ago didn't have any experience with babies, but had her own little one. She took me aside one day, (I didn't have kids either, but lots of babysitting experience) because she was too vulnerable feeling to ask her other mother friends, "Oly, I think there might be something wrong with Susie. She's 6 mo old and not sitting up yet." Susie was playing on the floor so I went over and sat her up. She sat up just fine. My friend said, "Oh, I never tried that. I thought she'd just push herself up into a sitting position." I explained the physics of too short of arms to do that, lol. Baby was fine. :-)

He's just too cute. I would be constantly pinching and kissing those cheeks, rubbing his head, and nibbling on those toes.

He'd think I was the weirdest auntie ever!

Cute as a bug!

.

I agree. Sitting up isn't a problem at that age, it's getting up. But I too had to stop and think, boy, that seems early ;) And I have mucho experience with my own, my families' children, worked at a daycare... You weren't that far off.

Such a blessing!

Regarding sitting up. He sits well, but we still have to put him in the sitting position. If he falls forward or slightly to the side he can push himself back up to the sitting position, but if he falls back or all the way on his side he still needs a helping hand, but I bet that won't last more than another month or so because he so enjoys sitting or standing. He stands with stabilization.

Beautiful little boy!!!

Cutie pie!!

Very, very sweet!

What a pretty baby!!!

When that baby has grown you will discover that traits of his personality are already amazingly showing in these first two shots of that beautiful face!

Look! Hair!

I think he must have some handsome parents, hmm?

Are you onsite Grandma yet?

Chisue,

Yes, a bit more hair now, but still can't tell the color. In some lights light blond and in other lights a bit of strawberry blond. DSIL -- was tow headed blond as a child but grew up to have dark hair. DD was light brown with a bit of blond, but now also dark brown by the time she was a teenager. It doesn't show in the pictures well but he has striking blue eyes.

We are close. The house will be finished mid-October and we will be moving mid-November. I just finalized my Mom's senior living apartment for a November move in and it is really lovely and highly rated. Exactly a 2 minute drive from our new house which will be so nice. We're out here now, but probably won't be back before the big move. I am planning on posting a house update on the building a home forum this weekend, but it is looking great and we are very pleased.

For now having a great time with the kids and working on furnishings and all the little details that come with building!

Thanks for asking!

Glad you're nearing the move-in.

I was astounded to see pictures of my father and his six sibs as children. They were all blonds up to about eight.

DGS must have DARK blue eyes. I'd wondered.

Actually, it was the lighting. Here is a picture from about three weeks ago taken in the sunlight showing his eyes (and oddly, his hair looks a bit darker in this pic -- I guess we will just have to wait and see).

BTW, how are your DGS and DGD? I bet they are growing! Is she in school yet?

DGS is in 7th and DGD is in 1st. Their school started last week of August. DIL teaches Jr. High Math at another school, and she started Sept. 5. Nice for DS and DIL to have a few whole days to be 'home alone'.

He is just adorable! I love that hint of mischief in his expression and that little dimple in his chin.
