So he's coming up to 6 months old already. He can prop himself up temporarily and hold his head up, looking for whatever caught his eye earlier, or looking for something to look at.
He's only been able to roll from his back to his front.

You all know how I looooooove feeding Caleb when it's my turn, during the night / wee hours of the morning; and how I looooooove exacting revenge on his bullying antics to his Daddee!
