First Word

I wasn't really sure if this was your first word or not, you have been kinda saying it for awhile now, but you said it really clearly the past couple days. And what is the word?..... "hi". Yep, that is your first word. A lot of times if someone says "hi" to you, you will say "hi" back, or you will just randomly say it with your gibberish talk. I can't belive you are starting to talk already!

First Trip to Eva's

Today we finally all made it to Eva's together for some ice cream. Eva's is a small ice cream place in Lake Orion that has been there for over 30 years and the ice cream and treats are very good. Daddy, Jake and Sam all got chocolate malts. And you had your eyes on them right away! In fact you grabbed Daddy's straw and got it in your mouth and when Daddy tried to get your hand off of the straw you were not letting go! You just kept watching everyone with their treats and I could tell you wanted some so badly. Next year sweetheart, then you can have your first Eva's ice cream.

I am ready to eat!

You have figured out now that when you go in your highchair, it is eating time! Lately you have been sitting right up and "talking" to me that you are ready for some food.

Blowing Bubbles

One thing you love to do is blowing bubbles (or making raspberries). Here is a cute little video of you doing this.

Five Months

Yes, you are five months today. You have learned so much in the last month. You have just started rolling over, from your back to your tummy. You are getting really good at moving around on your back to. Just tonight you were moving sideways half way across the living room floor. You really are finding ways to get around! When you see a toy laying next to you, you can pick it up and play with it. You still love to babble and babble and let out little screams. I started putting you in the exersaucer and you really seem to like it. You love to eat too. You have cereal with fruit in the morning and for dinner. If Daddy or I am eating you just love to watch us and have this look that says, "I want some too!" You can sit up really well, not by yourself, but it won't be long. You loved being tickled and give out the biggest laughs then! You can get your feet in your mouth now and I love watching you do that. I think your favorite thing to do is to just watch people. You love to watch Sam (if he stays still long enough!) and when Jacob holds you, you are are just mesmerized by him. I love your chunky little cheeks and squeezing them is one of my favorite things to do. Here is a little video of you too!

Rollin'

You rolled over!!! Grammy told me today that you have rolled over a couple times while she was watching you. And then this evening, I got you ready for bed and Jacob was playing with you while I gave Sam his bath. And while my back was turned you rolled over for Jacob! So, I have yet to see you roll over, but I know that you can do it! It won't be long before you are going to be moving on your own!
