Almost 5 months...

It's hard to beleive Lola is almost 5 months old! Time is flying by. We wish we could make time stand still right about now--she's still in the imobile stage, but is now at an incredible stage of awareness and alertness. I like it call her "interactive"!

Her favorite things to do right now are:
-Babbling and saying "ah-goo"...pretty much "talking" to anyone that will listen
-Rolling over--she'll roll from one end of the room to the other if we let her
-Grabbing on to her feet while being changed...and pulling her socks off all the time!
-Standing up (with assistance, of course) and playing in her Exersaucer
-Putting everything in her mouth...Teething has begun!

She was 13 lbs. even at her 4 month check up. We go back on 12/30 for the rest of her 4 month shots. She's increased her milk intake in the last few weeks (now gets about 28 oz./day) so I wouldn't be surprise if she's gained a full pound. She's right on track to have doubled her birth weight by 6 months.

Here's a few from this past week.

Protesting Mommy's constant documentation of her life.

Mommy LOVES when she takes her socks off...all the time!Getting creative with the afghan.

Always with the fist in the mouth.

Would you believe this is my sister Brittany's toy box?
It's about 15 years old and the perfect new addition
to Lola's room!

She loves her Taggie ball from Uncle Rich & Aunt Jan.

Pretty baby.

Her onesie reads:
"This is my little black dress!"
