5 months and counting

My gosh that little girl impresses me everyday. But I suppose all parents say that. She's rolling from her tummy onto her back rolling back and forth, picking up things, and throwing things believe it or not. Most people love the fact that she loves to stick her tongue out so she is always clowning for the cameras.

She's officially added solids to her roster. Started with sweet potatoes, which surprisingly she didn't like too much. Then we moved on to avocado and that was  total hit.

Her personality is becoming so distinct and with a shrill ear piercing scream, she makes it perfectly clear what she doesn't like, with a little giggle, what she likes and with a full belly laugh what she loves. She's ticklish which is too cute. She's a total chatterbox and loves the interaction for constant conversation. She even picked her own toy about a week ago, a stuffed pig with HUGE pink eyes we've lovingly named Hamilton
We were in a toy store getting a sippy cup and I saw a teddy bear I thought was cute and was trying to direct her attention to. Unimpressed, she lunged forward to the rack in front us grabbing Hamilton off the rack after they locked big doe eyes. Apparently I was oblivious to the connection. I would try testing her after she chose him switching hands with Hamilton and another toy that I'd alternate. No matter where he ended up Hamilton always won.  It was apparent that she and he were not to be denied and who am I to come between love at first sight.  I knew then he was coming home with us and bought him for her with no fuss. I look forward to seeing how this relationship develops.
