5 Months Old!

Our little Brooklyn is 5 months old today!!! She is talking up a storm and all of a sudden her new favorite thing to do is make this squealing screech at the top of her lungs. Sometimes it is in distress and other times it sounds like it is just for fun because it ends with a smirk. She has also started making "spitty" sounds when she blows and thinks that is pretty funny. I also think she is learning how to do things for attention.
We wanted to wait until Daddy was off work...so yesterday and today we have started her on rice cereal. Brooks and I gave it to her yesterday a.m. and apparently mixed it way way too thin...because Grandma Jan gave it to her yesterday p.m. and she did so so good!!! She hardly had any on her bib and learned right away to open her mouth when the spoon was coming, she loved to grab onto the spoon and would kick her legs in excitement! Click here to watch her first attempt at cereal.

Cereal or fingers...hmmm

Today Brooks and I wanted to take her to the neighborhood park and were going to help her "slide." However, by time we got down there all the school kids were playing so we just sat and watched. In our "kid observations" we decided that kids are mean...and it scares us for her to get that age. We did take the Shelby and Khloe with us...and Khloe pooped out about half way down there...so she got to ride in the stroller basket....and I must say...she was a big fan!!!

"Hey Khloe, where are Shelby and Daddy going??"
