5 months y'all

Five merry months! Bex turned the big old five months this weekend. He is still rolling over only one direction, and has only been able to get back on his back a few times, but is well on his way. He will stay on his belly and kick and kick his legs but can't get anywhere yet so he inevitably rolls over and seems very proud of himself. He is talking up a storm and puts EVERYTHING in his mouth, in fact the nanny said that Bex took another baby's hand and put it directly into his mouth (good boy!) He is starting to get interested in what we are eating so solid food is in the near future. We went to the vet this weekend and got Beast some kitty Xanax for the plane trip to Connecticut. Topher also decided to go out to New Haven once more by himself to get the apartment ready for our arrival (a mattress, towels, kitty litter, etc) and be there for the delivery of all his lab reagents. One other thing is that there are TWO jobs that I am applying for in Connecticut. Both smaller universities in the area where I would do mostly teaching but also some research. I am not really ready to apply for jobs but considering how geologically restricted I am, I feel that I better apply for every option. Here are a few shots of the boy. Notice the close encounter of the camouflaged beast.
