Guess Who's Five Months Old!

This little girl turned five months old today! One more month and we'll be half way to a year. Wow...

No doctor visit this month so I'm not sure of her stats but I'm assuming she's over 15 pounds now and I don't think she's grown too much taller from last month. She is changing every day and I always wonder what new thing she'll be doing today. She is becoming a pro at sitting on her own and guess what? As of yesterday she has now mastered rolling from back to tummy! She is a rolling machine now and I'm now going to have to keep an eye on her. I think gone are the days where I could leave her to play on her playmat while I got a few things done around the house.

She is also doing this funny thing where she gasps like she is being surprised over and over again when she gets excited. It's so funny. She is reaching out at everything, and she loves to sit in her bumbo watching the water flow in the sink while I was dishes.

I'm starting to think about solids since we'll be starting her on them sometime this month. Our pediatrician recommended waiting as close to six months as we could. Since she's been doing fine on just milk and hasn't really shown much interest I haven't thought about starting her on them quite yet but now she's five months old and considering how fast this last month flew by I need to start thinking about it. She's also starting to pay more attention to us while we eat and just yesterday she was smacking her lips a little while I ate, haha. I'm going to make all her food so we'll see how that goes!

Family Parade

Mady has had a lot of visitors these past couple of weeks. It's been like a family parade through our house and we loved it! First, Mady's Aunt Brittney and her cousins, Beau and Claire came for the weekend. We had a great time hanging out with them and Brittney was awesome enough to watch the three of them while Nick and I went to a concert. I love watching the three of them together and it will be so fun watching them grow up.

Mimi came by the next weekend and we headed over to Canton. I heard so many things about it but had never been. I can't believe how much stuff they have out there. I don't even know if we saw it all but Mady walked away with a few extra bows!

Next up were my parents. They watched her while I had class and Nick worked. Mady took her first trip to the pumpkin patch. She was a bit of a crank but we were still able to get some good pictures.

Even my nephew Christian came by for a night! I think Mady loved all the attention and I know we had fun seeing everyone. Not to mention the few dates we got out of it too!

As for Mady and her latest accomplishments she has now started sitting on her own. She will still fall over after a minute or so but she's getting better everyday. I wasn't quite ready for that one and I can't get over how fast she's growing up. She still has only rolled from her back to her tummy once but is a pro at going from her tummy to her back. She just shows no interest in wanting to do that! Her personality is really starting to show too.  She is such a happy baby and smiles all the time. 

I can't get over how much love you can have for your children. Everyday we are so blessed to have her with us.
