5 months!

Can you believe it? Our little c is already 5 months old. It's amazing how quickly time has passed, yet at the same time I forget what life was like before. I bet it involved less spit up :o)

As promised, here's the next round of aardvark pictures!

Random thursday updates

Hello world. Happy Thursday.

It's amazing how fast days go by. We've gotten into a pretty comfortable pattern of getting up, getting out of the house, getting back to the house, clean, and to bed. But within that pattern it's amazing to see how C is growing and changing.

Some new things over the last week of two:
-she's now tried sweet potatoes, avocado, and pears. Sweet potatoes are the best, avocado definitely the worst.
-she continues to LOVE having stuff in her hands, especially fabric. New this week is she's starting to pass smaller things from one hand to another.
-she's a rolling pro. Tummy time consistently ends with her rolling back to her back.
-she's aware of max. She loves watching him as he moves around the house, and she's figures out that if she reaches down when she has pear all over her hands he'll lick them clean. This one could be trouble.

I'll wrap up with another series of pictures. This one I call the beginning of a blanky addiction...

Not an exciting first

C was sent home from daycare today for the first time. It seems that the snot monster has returned and taken over our poor baby girl. Alex went home with her - we'll see what kind of shape everyone's in when I get there. Woohoo late winter - I'm ready for spring

Rolling

Little C rolled from her back from her front today, 11 days before her 5 month birthday, and we didn't see it. We found out she reached this milestone by reading the sheet that comes home from daycare with her everyday. A part of me knew that this was bound to happened with the number of hours that she spends there, but it still bites :(

So anyway, hurray for C. We'll be watching like a hawk this weekend to see if we can get it on video.

Happy almost Friday!

Yum

Since C rocked her last weigh in we got the all clear to start solids. To celebrate I whipped up a batch of sweet potato puree over then weekend. We introduced it on Saturday (video linked below), and have been doing a little every night. She keeps getting better - it's really fun to watch. Next up, avocado!

Morning fun

This morning while waiting for Alex to get up we had some fun with my iPhone camera. I call this series Elephant, Baby and Dog on Futon...

Grown up?

What is it that makes someone officially a grown up? A degree? A mortgage? A spouse or child? This week for me, it was my first watch that cost more than $40. It's a citizen Ecco-drive and it's my bonus present to myself, and I'm psyched :)
