five months


today little miss Mabel is five months old! people keep saying how fast time has gone....but for us it feels like five months or more! i guess that is the sleep deprivation talking. :) we are in love with watching this sweet little girl grow and develop and we both agree her giggle is the best sound ever.



a few things about Mabel at this age:
  • she loves bouncing in her doorway jumper
  • she grabs at EVERYTHING (and whatever the object is goes straight into her mouth)
  • she has started tasting a few tiny morsels of big girl food: banana, gnawing on an apple, sweet potato

  • she enjoys listening to Nate play the guitar
  • she could stare at Fritz and Charlie for hours
  • she rolled over a few times and didn't think it was that great, hasn't done it again
  • she is getting a little bit more hair
  • her favorite book is Baby Einstein's "Mirror Me"
  • she likes to watch the neighborhood kids play outside
  • her pediatrician announced she is in the "tall" category
  • she looks like such a big girl when she sits in her Bumbo chair

  • she likes to "talk" to her toys
  • we lovingly call her "drool girl"
  • she is all smiles and happiness when she wakes up in the morning


i am going to try to get back into blogging since I have a gazillion pictures of Mabel and lots to talk about. (we moved!) it has just been easier to use Facebook since i can upload pictures right from my phone....blogger totally needs an app for phones to make it quick and easy. anyone know if there is one?

i sure love this little girl

Finally! Okay, Jess- seriously, I got all teary-eyed looking at this post. I've missed you on the bloggosphere these past months. I hope you are doing well and Mabel is still rocking your world.

Looking forward to more!
Peace to you.
