Fun at Five Months

Not really sure where another month has gone, but my sweet little love is getting bigger, more active and if possible, more adorable, with each passing day!  She is such a happy little girl and is constantly smiling, laughing and 'talking' when we are at home....however, when we are out and about running errands or going for breakfast or lunch on the weekends, she is so enthralled with her new surroundings that you can barely get her attention.  She loves to check out everything around her and doesn't want to miss a thing (so she takes very few naps unless we're home these days!). 

At 5 months, Miss Mia is keeping busy by:

~Perfecting her back to tummy roll and has done tummy to back a few times (still not a huge fan of rolling that way for some reason)

Ha ha!!  Mommy's funny if she thinks she is going to get me to stay in one spot long enough to take a good picture!

~Grabbing and picking up toys and passing objects from one hand to the other

~Putting her paci in her mouth by herself

~Spending a lot more time sitting in her bebePod

~Trying out her jumperoo ~ she isn't quite sure what to do with all the toys and how to exactly 'jump' just yet, but I'm sure she'll have that down to a science in no time!

I'm supposed to do what here??!!

In addition, she is now eating 2 tablespoons of rice cereal in the evenings (up from 1) and I plan to begin a morning feeding of rice cereal this weekend too.  I was putting that off for awhile just because the mornings are already so hectic with getting her up and ready for the day while trying to get myself ready for work...not to mention the days Daddy goes to work and I have to take her to the babysitter's (I feel like I've worked a whole day before I even get to the office sometimes!).  

Playing in my bouncy chair before "dinner"!

  

I get a bath right afterwards since I LOVE to make a mess...

Peek-a-Pooh :)

Oh, and the other big 'development' that has occurred in the past week is that Mia has finally noticed her big brother, Tripp, and is obsessed with him!  It is so funny how she all of a sudden realized that he was there (even though he is constantly in her face when she's playing on the floor) and now watches his every move!  I look forward to when those two are chasing each other around!
