First Tooth @ 7 1/2 Months

Yup, Dylan's first tooth is on it's way in AND she's taking it like a champ ~ a little drooly, okay she's really drooly but still laughing. I've had a feeling for the past few days that she'd be getting one in very soon. Today she was rubbing her tongue over her bottom gum so we checked and sure enough there is a little tooth pushing it's way up.

5 Months And Counting

Can't believe our Lil D is 5 months! Okay I think I said that at 4 but really I can't believe she's 5 months already! I'm sure we'll be saying the same thing when she's 18 and off to college or to travel the world.

D's been rolling over, drooling like mad, sucking down the milk, sleeping like a champ, and can't take her eyes off dad when he's in the room. She's been reaching out to pet Maggie and loves to laugh and play with her toys. Dylan also loves a good adventure, meeting new people, AND to be outside. She will lay out in the backyard under the Magnolia tree and talk up a storm for 10-15 minutes at a time. She loves to stand (with our help) and is just about sitting without any help. Doc cleared us to start her on real food - and boy is she ready, she's very curious about food. I've been researching up some good baby food recipes and we'll start her in the next day or so.... what should her first meal be?

We love you little monkey - happy 5 months!!!!
