Brooklyn- 5 months

What an amazing 5 months these have been! You make your mommy and daddy so completely happy! Our lives are forever better because of you!!!

At 5 months you weigh 13lbs. 15oz.

Your firsts this month include:

Rolling from your front to back 3 times in a row!! Even though you haven't done it since, I still count it as a first!

Getting hand foot and mouth virus.... Thank goodness it was only
in your mouth and not on your hands and feet! We only had one night with a fever and a day with tylenol, and you were good to go!

Wearing shorts for the first time! What a crazy month of weather! Eighty degrees in March? Unbelievable!!!

Your first taste of rice cereal! You did really
good for the first time eating food!

Your first time in the exersaucer! You love to play with and eat all the toys!

You loved your first time in the swings! I can't wait to take you back!

You got your ears pierced! Even though some people gave mommy

and daddy a little grief, we felt it was a good time to do it, so you wouldn't play with them, and there was less chance of an infection! We think you look adorable, and even though you cried, you eventually forgave!

More fun pictures from this month:

Trying to eat Daddy's face!

Snuggling with Mommy!

Getting love from Cousin Grant!

Eating your Lolly's face!

I love this crazy face!

Your Blankey (You are always hugging and trying to eat it!)

Naps (Sometime it's 3-4 a day!)

Being outside (Can't get enough!)

Cousin Evie (She's funny!)

Bouncey Chair (Boy you can get that bouncing!)

Dakota (You love that dog of yours!)

Brooklyn- 4 Months

Look at that big smile! What a joy and blessing you are! We thank God every day for you!

In the last month you have...

Sat in your highchair for the first time to be at the table with mommy and daddy!

Started hugging your Lolly and your blanket.

Started wearing size 2 diapers, and 3-6 month clothes.

Had an appointment with the Opthamologist for an eye exam and an eye infection (which you received a prescription for!). Turns out you have 1mm ptosis (which just means your left eye opens a little less than your right eye) not a big deal, according tot he doctor!

Experienced your first superbowl party!

Had another play date with Evie, Henry, Ella, Grant, Abi, Ethan, and Malachi! (Thank you Miss Rachel for the invite!)

Went to your first basketball game... Cousin Rochelle's, (you were scared of all the noise at first, then you got bored and fell asleep!)
