Olivia's 5 months!!

Olivia all dressed for school on her 5 month birthday! BJ says she looks like an old grandma...I think she looks like a doll! Funny story, I dressed her and we walked over to the main building and 1 minute later, she spits up all over her dress! They had to change her the minute she got to the nursery :( BJ says it serves me right for dressing her like a grandma!

And...here she is sporting her cloth diaper and sticker that her aunt amilee makes. You can buy them at http://ebhdesigns.com/

I was looking at our friends blog and their sweet little baby just turned 1 month old...Happy birthday Elliott!! But, they did a neat list of her accomplishments...so I'm borrowing the idea!

Olivia at 5 months:
  • She is starting to get really "needy"...like her momma!
  • She started nursery and seems to love it
  • She started eating cereal and doesn't love it so much. She doesn't understand it!
  • She is sleeping 10 hours at night (things will look up Erica!)
  • She no longer has to do tummy time because she rolls over instantly
  • She's sporting cloth diapers now!
  • She LOVES, LOVES her jumperoo! and will even jump when you hold her!
  • She started "kissing" and "hugging" me. I swore to BJ that she does that and we just read it on her monthly developments that they will do that...so I am right!
  • She loves the Bible! Every time BJ sits with her and reads it, she immediately wants to touch, crinkle, eat it!
  • She weighs 13 1/2 pounds (as much as one of the kids here that's 2 months old!)
  • She's starting to grow back some of her hair...it's strawberry blonde
  • She won her first and probably last photo contest!
  • And she is starting to "talk". We can have a whole conversation of "ahhhs" now

    This month has been a really exciting month with Olivia. We really feel like she has "woken up" from being a baby! We have a lot of fun with our little family!

thanks for the shout out friend! :) i actually stole the idea from a friend as well. i can't believe she is already 5 months...craziness! i am also completely jealous of her sleeping 10 hours, sounds like a dream. :) she is so cute!
