5 months old!

I am five months old already!! Can you believe it? It has sure gone fast! According to mommy's scale I weight almost 14 pounds... which means I have doubled my birth weight. This past weekend was Grandpa Randy's birthday, we celebrated at Paradiso and then over to Brent & Molly's for dessert. It was so much fun... although my cousins are pretty crazy!!
On Saturday, we went out to the lake to help Grandma & Grandpa... my first time at Pelican Lake. We had fun helping them and I even got to take a nap with Grandma-- first of many I am sure!
Sunday was a lazy day... we took a family nap after church.. I love these!! :) Tomorrow mommy's off from work; we are planning to spend the day at home playing! This will be fun as we have been doing lots of running around lately! Daddy is busy in the field tonight.. I am sure the first of many long nights.. when is planting over? I don't like going to bed without my good night kisses from daddy!
So happy to see my crazy cousins!!

Megan, Jake, and Molly at Paradiso

Kisses from Uncle Brooks!


Happy Birthday Grandpa! It won't be long until I make you something cool like cousin Jakey did!



Me with Brooks & Megan... a little distracted, I think my cousins are entertaining me here.. I love to watch them run around!



Me and the boys!


So happy to sit with Grandma Doris... safe from the boys!



Watching the boys jump to Uncle Brooks... I don't think Jake realizes that Grant is about to push him here!


All snuggled with my pj's.. sitting with Jakey!


Grandpa with all of his grandchildren..


Grant is really excited here!!


Mommy and Jakey were both wearing strips..


CHEESE!


Oh no... here comes that crazy cousin Grant.. he loves to give me kisses!



Jake borrowed mommy's camera... I guess his finger got on the flash



Hanging out at the lake



Look at me... I can sit up all by myself!! I get tired pretty easily and then I end up laying on my feet!!

Starting to get a little tired here!



Peek-a-boo!!! I love wearing hoods...


Hanging out with daddy after church on Sunday


So sleepy... I still prefer my hands up by head when I sleep... daddy thinks that is so silly!


Last week it was so nice out, we ate outside. It was 85 degrees here... we really enjoyed being outside... we went for a stroll around Breckenridge.


Enjoying some sunshine... you can see mommy's garden in the back... we have a lot of work to do!! :)


Messy me... I still haven't quite figured out if I like this cereal thing... and it's not quite working like mommy was hoping. (She was thinking it may help me sleep better at night.. but doesn't she know I like to see her 4-6 times nightly!! :) Mommy better just try more food in a month...maybe then I will like it more!




Eating some cereal off my spoon.. daddy is so good a this!

Spring has sprung!

It is starting to get warmer around here and I am enjoying being outside more! I am starting to really show my personality- laughing a lot, smiling and playing with lots of toys!


Helping mommy do some laundry...

I am getting close to crawling... I am so close. Good thing mommy & daddy put up the gates... I am going to be zooming around in no time!


Playing with my "kick and crawl" ball- this thing is so cool!



Out for a walk with daddy... I am in there somewhere!



There I am!! I love the wind blowing in my hair and the fresh air!




Warming up with my sweater after a walk.



Daddy feeding me before bedtime... I am used to my daycare teachers feeding me.. not daddy! We tried a little cereal... mommy was hoping this would help me sleep... little does she know I like to be up with her at night!


Look what I learned at daycare-- I can hold my bottle all by myself!



So pretty--- in my party dress!



Scooting around!



My new trick that I learned from my daddy... sticking out my tongue. I don't think mommy likes this too much!



The birthday boy!! Grandma J had a little party for JJ on Sunday.



Cuddling with Grandma Bev...


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JJ!!


Me with Great Auntie Jeannie


Sitting pretty...



Testing out the bike trailer... I am probably a little too small for this... I will grow into is soon!! Check out daddy's new bike too... it even has a bell!



Zooming around....


Bath time, bath time, everyone love bath time! (That's the song daddy sings every night to me!)


Yea-- mommy is home from work!


Haning upside down.... silly mommy!! :)

Easter

We had another busy weekend... we stayed up in Fargo on Saturday night at Brooks & Megan's new house. We had so much fun!! On Easter Sunday, we met both mommy and daddy's family at the Holiday Inn... I bet next year I will be able to eat all that yummy food. The day was capped off with 2 Easter Egg hunts... one in Fargo and one in Wahpeton.

I am so active these days...starting to roll all over and showing some interest in learning how to crawl... better watch out! Here are some pictures from the last week...



Daddy is telling me a bedtime story... I am in my cute pj's from mommy's friend Kim

Love me Exer-saucer that Jake & Grant let me borrow


This could keep me busy for hours...


I love when Uncle Brooks gives me raspberries... it sure makes me laugh!!



Auntie Megan is so funny...




Look at what the Easter Bunny brought daddy!! I got two new toys for my car seat and a stuffed ducky!





Grandma and I with our Easter Bunny headbands!



Cousin Grant and Grandpa sticking there tongues out... I don't think Auntie Molly will like what Grandpa was teaching him! :)




Cousin Jakey has my hair clip in-- so silly!




My headband -- this is from Molly



Jake sitting with the Easter Bunny... aka Grandpa!




Everybody wanted to try on the ears...



JJ's turn...



I think JJ is a little excited here!




I have found my toes... like to grab them and even put them in my mouth sometimes!




Go Twins!!
