Sitting!

I'm 5 months old today and I can sit all by myself for a little while. About five minutes after this video I fell backwards and whacked my head on the dresser. Oww. Mommy felt really bad.

I chewed on Mommy's purse. Yum! Like my drooley face? :) No teeth yet but I chew and chew!


This is when Mommy wondered what the point of the bumper was. I just decided to stick my foot over it!


Cute hand-me-down outfit from my new friend, Stefani!


Hangin' out in the bouncy seat we borrowed from my new friend, Brooke!


A brief pause to see what Auntie Cait was doing while I chewed on this giraffe!

crazy little me

Listen to me talk, then watch me "chew my cud." I recently discovered that I can chew on my tongue and everyone finds it hilarious!

Rice cereal is fun to eat!


I am starting to roll and scoot all over the place. I also like to chew on everything in sight. I got myself under Auntie Cait's bed and ate her bedskirt. It was yummy.


I love to play in the exersaucer that Gramma and Grandpa's friends left with them when they moved away for a couple years (lots of their stuff is stored in the basement).


They also sold Gramma a little (like the kind you get at a hotel) crib for me since their youngest no longer needs it! Mommy brought my breathable bumper with us and sometimes strings toys up for me!

Pitiful

Here I am looking all pitiful after my 4-month shots. But I got fun neon bandaids this time! Tamie Prociw from church made me this amazing quilt!

Blubabes!

I finally got to meet my second cousins Sunday, May 31st. Claire tried to gouge my eyes out, Anne-Louise and Charlotte wanted to hold me, and Adele didn't care too much. Then again, neither did I!

Don't worry, I'm alive

Mommy and I are in Georgia and there are computer and internet problems. Someday Mommy will show you more pictures, but for now you just get to hear about my 4-month check up.

It was on June 1st (so I was 4 months and one week old) and I weighed in at 13 lbs, 5 oz, and measured up at 24 inches. I've hit two feet! And I'm basically shrinking because I used to be around the 50th percentile for height and weight and now I'm around the 38th. My head (which mommy doesn't bother to remember specifics on) used to be around the 75th and now it's around the 60th. So my brain is still big. I'm such a smarty pants. So smart, in fact, that since we've been here I've slept about 9 hours every night and adjusted to the time change in just a couple days. I'm so great.

Some random facts about me:
-My left foot is my favorite toy
-I like to fake cry
-I get upset if I know you're there and aren't giving me attention
-When I see my bottle, I know it's time to eat and grab for it
-I am getting good at grabbing things, holding onto them, and putting them in my mouth
-I miss my Jumperoo. I try to jump in the exersaucer but it doesn't work as well, and I'm too small for a Johnny Jump-up
-I like to be swaddled to go to sleep
-I love to smile and be sung to
