5 months

As we get close to jade's half birthday (wtf!?) I want to take a few minutes to enjoy month five. 

Five things about five months:

1.  She loves her puppy-brother.

2.  She rolls this way and that way, depending on where she wants to go. 

3.  She prefers to nap on a warm body. 

4.  She loves peek a boo and itsy bitsy spider. 

5.  She is obsessed with my water cup, straws, and beer bottles. 

Love,

The Howells

In July, we went back to the east coast for the second time.  We celebrated family and friends, all while sweating our booties off.  It was hot and humid, oh and humid. Jade met a lot of family and friends, so it was a productive trip.  I took a million photos, so here are a few.

Toys

I definitely have spent a stupid amount of money on bottles, pacifiers, and toys that rarely get touched. Or if they do, boredom kicks in 5 minutes later. Jade has not agreed to the bottle or pacifier, so we have accepted that and are moving on. So now I'm working on building my sippy- cup collection as if she will suddenly love to drink milk from anything other than my boobs. She's lucky I enjoy breastfeeding...

This kid already has more toys than minutes in her attention span and she can barely use her hands.  She is definitely becoming more coordinated and her concentration is intense. I love watching her figure things out. Watching her roll over, grab a toy, and put it in her mouth is more entertaining than anything on tv.  As I am mesmerized by her doing new things, here are some photos of her playing with her favorite things:

Oh and her favorite... Feet.
