5 months old - Julie Bear!

She's a rolling pin now!  On the day she turned 5 months she discovered how much fun it is to roll from her back to her front.  Now there is no stopping her.  She is mobile - and she scooches and wriggles her way across the floor too - but her favorite thing now is to roll.

She likes the sound of her own voice and likes to "talk" in a sing-song-ish way in which she uses her spit to produce a gargle-ly type of vebrato as she "sings".  She likes to laugh when we put any kind of pressure on her ribs - from feather-like fingertip brushes to full on tickle fingers.  She just LOVES to eat cereal, but we have backed off offering any veggies at this point.  She has discovered her feet and likes to play with them all the time!

She has loved taking baths from the moment she first was immersed in her baby bathtub.  She really enjoys the water.  She seems fascinated with it and truly intrigued.

 

We are just savoring every moment with our baby girl.  She is really happy just about all of the time - so easy going!  Her three older siblings just dote on her and shower her with attention all the time.  She has so much to watch and look at.  She is beginning to understand that when she fusses and complains, she gets our attention and gets picked up.  Then the complaints stop and the beaming smile breaks across her face.  She already knows how to work us!  It's okay - we are grateful to have her.
