5 Months

Happy belated 5 month birthday to Eden. The big day was yesterday :). This past 5 months has really flown by (well to be honest, the first couple months were a little rough and then I kinda figured out what I was doing with two kids and it has been flying!).

For my records, Eden at 5 months:
- rolls over from her tummy to her back
- likes to play with toys and put them in her mouth (she gets pretty angry when Milan takes her toys.)
- puts up a good fight for a couple of minutes before she goes to sleep for naptime/bedtime
- sleeps swaddled up with her binky
- at night, she goes to bed around 8, wakes up around 5, eats, then goes back to sleep until 7 or 8
- loves attention....she loves to smile at me, daddy, and especially Milan.
- is super ticklish....she laughs when we blow on her tummy or neck or tickle her feet
- loves to eat solid foods.....so far carrots, sweet potatoes, and bananas have been a big hit; green beans not so much

Out n' About

So, even though my recent posts make it sound like we sit home and watch Princess movies most of the day, we actually do go on fun little family adventures :). I got a little point n' shoot camera for Christmas and I carry it around in my purse to take pictures on the go.....here's some fun pictures from the past couple of weeks.
Feeding the goats with Jack (Grandma Kat's husband.)

Swimming with daddy. At first, Milan had a death grip around daddy's neck, but after a while she was ready to jump in the deep end by herself.

McDonald's with Anna and J.P. I should have gotten a picture of these three in the Playland...J.P. is so strong, he would grab on to Milan's hand and pull her up each step and she would go flying.

Watching Dumbo with Grandma Kat (on VHS even....I'm pretty sure Milan has never watched one of those...isn't that crazy?)

Self portrait of me and Eden bug.

The cool house we built at the rec center.

For the record, Dave didn't think that I should post this picture. I thought it was just too cute to resist. I love all the little rolls and dimples on her cute lil bum.

Here we are warming up by the fireplace after bath time.

Little Mermaid

This is Milan pretending to be Ariel sitting on a rock and singing. She usually sits on the side of the bathtub and sings, but she sang all around the house yesterday. She is such a little nut who is obviously in love with princesses, especially ones that sing! Unfortunately, it'll be pretty difficult for her to inherit any musical talent from her parents.

Excited to see daddy!

YUMMY!

Straight to the mouth

My baby girl is growing up way too fast! She's now grabbing things and of course putting them in her mouth.

She loves her binky....watching her go cross-eyed and concentrate intently on putting it in her mouth is priceless.


She found Milan's dress-up shoes yesterday. Sometimes Milan acts like a baby too so here you go. (Yes, this picture was taken at 3:30 and I was in sweat pants....sometimes that's just how we roll.)

Here she is going after Milan.


And I'm just throwing this picture in for fun :)
