Five Months

Sweet little Mary is five months old as of last Wednesday.

She continues to improve her rolling, sitting, and standing skills. She can sit by herself in her highchair and loves joining us for meal times. 

One of her favorite things right now is when Daddy lifts her up in the air over his head; she stretches out her little body with a big smile and laugh. She also likes peek-a-boo and other simple games. 

 She reaches for things she finds interesting, including the animal prints on her blankets or designs on t-shirts. 

She babbles an occasional vowel/consonant combination, usually mamamamamama. 

Even without scooting yet, she is able to get around quite a bit when placed on a blanket.

 Mary loves exploring new things and is a lot of fun to be around. We are enjoying all her sweet little baby moments.
