5 Months Old!

Hello Friends! It's been a short and cold month here in Chicago.  I have had some visitors...Aunt Annie, Grammy Boo and Mr. Buzz came to help my dad (AGAIN!) because my mommy has been working so hard.  She tells me she hates it and would rather be home with me, but I am so proud of her! Natalie and JT also came to visit me. We had so much fun! I can't wait to meet two more new friends...Abigail Thomas (Carolyn and Jake Thomas) and Max Feingold (Chad and Kim Feingold). I have a lot of new tricks to teach them.  I have been enrolled in "Daddy Daycare" for the past four days.  He is pretty good at taking care of me, but I miss my mommy!  I have been sleeping great, and now I can be put down and fall asleep all by myself.  I think I am getting close to 17 lbs! I love anything I can get my hands on and into my mouth. I have an exciting month coming up and can't wait to update you on my trip to San Diego to see my cousin Tyler and Palm Springs to see Grammy Boo and Buzz.  See you next month!

Aunt Annie...Yeah!  She helped my dad with everything!

I love my "gum-brush"... WHEN I can get it in my mouth!

Buzz and Boo were helping me learn how to sit up. I am still working on it.                                    

I also tried my first "real food".  I wasn't so sure about it!

I love my new hat. It was made just for me!

  

My legs are SO strong.  I love standing up and talking to my daddy.

I still love bathtime every night.  I am learning how to really splash.

Headed to lunch with daddy and Boo.

My parents and the Lew's went to Andy Grossman's wedding.  I thought they looked fancy!

I stayed home and chewed on Buzz's knuckle.

I know he loves me, but his mustache is really scratchy!

This is Parker Shull, she showed me how a big girl sits up and touches EVERYTHING

Even though we are about the same size, Parker is twice as old as me!

                                       

She is too cute!

Chad is going to be a great dad.  And I can't wait to meet Max! 

I have been spending alot of time on my tummy.  I do not love it!

I can bring my play ring down with on kick!

Mommy and I after bathtime!

Daddy took me to bowling league.  I was a little alarmed by all of the noise.

But Daddy got us some cheddar nuggets, and I felt right at home.

I tried some avacado.  I wore it on my face for the night.

Grant and Mary came to see me.  Grant seemed fine, but I would rather be with Mary.

  Here I am. 5 months old!
