first "solid" food

i'm not tired

Bea was tired. I put her in her bed, socks on, head on the burp towel, binky in her mouth and under the covers. She didn't fuss. She did make this noise that she likes to make, that usually indicates that she is tired and will soon be drifting off. After a while, the noise stopped on the monitor, so I peeked in the door to check on her. I could see her moving, so I approached the bed. What I saw was a combination of these two pics....



She had the look on her face of the first pic and the position of the second pic. Either way she had a sock off, binky out, covers off and she'd turned 90 degrees. It was quite cute of course, so I got my camera.

Then a bit later Daddy came home from jogging and after his shower they decided to have a beer together.

growing

I can't believe how much she is growing! As of Wednesday, she is five months old!! And it's not just chronological age either...she's growing! I've spent a zillion dollars this month on 'new' things. Below, socks. Finally, some socks that fit! She's been too big for our stash for a while, so I bought a pile this past week.


She is big enough to enjoy her exersaucer! Prior to this she was able to sit in it, but it was only a new perspective for her, not a fun toy. Now...she has a blast. She plays with the toys and can turn herself around in it. Mostly, she likes to try to eat as much of it as possible.


Among this week's purchases...highchair and bowls. We will be starting cereal soon! Those pics will be fun, won't they?? :-)

Oh...she loves her feet!

Lately Bea has been making this face...


Teething ya think?

The three photos below are from a week or so ago when we decided to play the pots and pans...

She's really quite good.

This next set of pictures go into my pile of favorites. Bea was getting tired, Charlie was jogging and I was wanting to do some scrapbooking downstairs. I put Bea in her pack n play. I decided to run upstairs and get some toys...but to occupy her while I did that, I gave her a book. She looked so cute I had to take a couple of pictures. I'll display them here, along with the comments that Charlie put on facebook.

Oh...Hey...OMG! Wait...you have to read this part!...

Finally, Charlie uploaded this video to YouTube this morning...

I should have posted this with the Christmas pictures, but I just remembered that I took it! This was Bea's first Christmas ornament. I thought it was appropriate for the obvious reason...and Orange and Green are our favorite colors, so even better.
