A Day in the Life of Freddie the Frog

Here is KariAnne's "friend" Freddie the Frog. She just wanted to introduce him to everyone :) She especially likes the little tag on his side... her favorite part to chew.

Milestones at 5 months

KariAnne's recent milestones-- Eating Rice Cereal and Taking her First Sippy Cup!



Here's her first sippy cup! She took it without any hesitation and even showed daddy how to use it! It's the Nuby Sippy Cup and he even tried to suck it to give it a try...and said to me " Uh.. I think baby is going to have a hard time getting liquid out of this, she has to suck really hard"...and then we handed it to baby and she showed daddy how it was done! (you have to bite on it and then liquid comes out) -- Good job baby kC!


Here's baby with her Rice Cereal. We started it one day after she turned 5 months and she loved it! We're so proud of her. She still has to work on her tongue/swallowing action but she can take it pretty easily. A bit messy--yes... but totally worth the kodak moments. She likes to be a big girl and hold her spoon and bowl herself! But of course, we know how that would look like if we gave it all to her...


Not sure if this will load properly.. but here is a video of her first feeding of Rice Cereal :)

Happy 5 Months KariAnne!

KariAnne is 5 months now! By God's grace we've made it through 5 months and she's growing like there's no tomorrow!

Here are a few pictures to capture this past month...


Here she is after bath time. She's been a pretty good bath take ever since her first back at 3 weeks. She doesn't cry and only whines/fusses when we wash her hair because she doesn't like to get water on her face.

Here she is taking a silly picture of herself. Haha, ok--she wasn't the one taking the picuture, Mommy was....

She loves story time! This is one of her favorite stories "Teddy's Birthday"... it's one that we've been reading to her since she was a weee little one.. well after she started "hearing" it while she was still in the womb!

Always trying to pull things and put them into her mouth.

TT! TUMMY TIME! She's definitely improved since a couple months back....doesn't like to be on her tummy for that long but it's a drastic improvement.

Here is baby KariAnne with her Aunty GenGen.. quality bonding time together ;)

Baby and her Cloth Books! We had to get her these cloth books because she loves to put everything in her mouth! Yes, books included. So every time we have story time instead of just sitting and listening, she wants to sit, listen and CHEW on all her books!
