5 Months!

Oh my goodness I can't believe how big my little girl is getting! She is just the smartest little thing and I love watching her grow and learn more and more! No doctor visit this month so we don't know how much she weighs but I swear she has gotten so much bigger than she was at 4 months! At 5 months she is:

*Eating solids. We have only done rice cereal and vegetables (no fruit yet). She seems to not have much interest in eating, although she tolerates it well. She doesn't really open her mouth and I have to almost force it in but she is fine with that and is just as happy as can be! She has had rice cereal, sweet potatoes, squash, peas, and avacado. We only feed her 1 or 2 times a day just to get her used to eating and for her to learn how. It's been fun (and really messy too)!
*Still wears size 2 diapers (probably could fit into size 3 but I am cheap and am sticking with the cheaper ones while I can!)
*Still wearing size 3-6 month clothes (although she is really tall and so some of the onesies are becoming a little tight!)
*Rolling from back to tummy all the time and can even get back to her back!
*She is such a happy little girl and LOVES to smile and laughs a lot! So cute!!
*Spends a lot of her time in her little jumper toy and loves it!
*Chews on EVERYTHING!
*Sleeps through the night? Ok, she still wakes up sometimes.
*She is still the cutest little girl in the whole world (yes, we are totally biased!) We just love her so much! She is such a blessing to us and she brings so much joy to our world!

Halloween

We had the MOST fun Halloween this year!! Having our own house and passing out candy to all the neighbors made Halloween so fun this year, but not as fun as having our cute Emry to dress up. I will confess we didn't really go all out on her costume, but she was still pretty adorable!! We had her be a cute little leopard (cutest leopard I've ever seen). She was so happy and when we would "growl" at her she would laugh and laugh! It was pretty fun! I was a baseball player and Ryan was a guy who just got home from work. haha.

My mom was in town and so Lynne, Dave, Owen, Lila, (the dinasaurs) and Jeff (the cowboy) came to have worms, eyeballs, and blood (spaghetti and meatballs) for dinner. We passed out candy to all the cute little kids that came to the house and then played games that night. It was such a fun Halloween night!
We hope you had a fun Halloween too!
