Just playin'

Here's a little clip of Mckayla playing on the floor. She just rolls back and forth and plays with anything she can get her hands on! We got her a little Easter ball and she loves it, but when she reaches for it she ends up hitting it and it gets further from her reach! But she just keeps on trying!

High chair

We've been feeding Mckayla rice cereal off and on for the past few weeks, but the past couple times she has had a very bad reaction to it and ended up throwing up many times. But she got pretty good at using the spoon so we are going to try oatmeal and vegetables pretty soon so we decided to finally put together her high chair. She's not sitting up on her own very well yet so it's nice that the high chair has a slightly reclined setting but the best part is the cool toy it comes with! It has all kinds of lights and music and it can attach to the tray. She's too little to reach it yet, as you can see, but she still liked it and it won't be long before she's big enough for it!

Where's Mckayla?!

This was earlier in the day, it cracked me up because she was just sitting there with her burp cloth in her mouth staring at me!

She is ALL over the place now and she loves to be in just her diaper so she can grab her legs and toes.

On a side note, I weighed her today and she is 15 pounds 6 ounces! That is with her clothes and diaper on, but still she is getting so big!!!

Monthly growth

It's ALREADY that time again for another monthly growth picture with Cabbage Patch Mckayla! Here they are from 8 days old to now 5 months 6 days old:



Those thighs are getting squishier and squishier, I love it!

First Easter

The Easter bunny came to see Mckayla this morning!!! He even left goodies for mommy and daddy in there too :)

Toes!

Mckayla really started grabbing her toes last night, we changed her clothes and she really seemed to enjoy being in just a diaper so we let her roll around on the floor for awhile and she just started grabbing her knees then her toes! She normally isn't bare footed because it's cold or she's got her jammies on with the feet on them so I think she hadn't had much of an opportunity to really find them before. Look at those chubby rolls too!

"Hi Cookie monster!"

Roly Poly

Well our baby girl is 5 months old now if you can believe it! She is so much fun now and has such a little personality, every day is an adventure. She has really mastered rolling in both directions now, so much so that I had to lay out a quilt for her to have plenty of room because she would get stuck on the play mat with the things that go overhead. It's so funny to watch her (and she is doing this while I'm typing this) because she rolls over and over and ends up going in circles all over the quilt. It's hilarious! Here's a little sample of her work:

Having fun

We went to my parents house for dinner the other night and when we were leaving Chris grabbed his water bottle and I said to let Mckayla hold it because she always grabs for our drinks when we are holding or drinking them and she grabbed it like this and held on for most of the way home!

Daddy is the best at getting pictures of her smiling!


We got out this water filled toy last night so she could try it out and she stared at it for the longest time, but wasn't quite sure what it was all about! (I didn't notice at first how her hair looks crazy in the first one!)
