All I want for Christmas...

Eloise now has TWO teeth coming in right next to each other.  They are both on the bottom...so all she wants for Christmas is her two bottom teeth I guess :)!  She has been an excellent baby and the only reason we know she is teething is because EVERYTHING goes in her mouth and she drools a lot...other than that she has been sleeping great and in a great mood!  God has truly blessed us with such great girls.

In other news she is now grabbing BOTH feet.  She used to only grab her right foot.  Today I was able to catch it on camera - I think I have a picture of Allison that is quite similar...

Allison 5 1/2 Months (July 2007)

More baby food, Peas

Tonight I discovered that Eloise LOVES peas...Allison loved peas too - so I shouldn't be too surprised!  Just started with the cereal yesterday but thought I would try peas today - and low and behold she LOVED them...she opened wide and smacked her lips...mmm mmm good!

Mush

We fed Eloise her first bowl of mush today.  When Allison was little I could not wait to get to all the next steps...the first food, the first time she sat up, the first time she crawled, etc.  But with Eloise I find myself wanting her to take her time...but I knew she was ready to "eat" - she looks longingly at us when we eat or drink anything...so I figured I should try it.  She did pretty good.  Obviously there was more on her bib than in her mouth...but she isn't an expert yet.  She will get the hang of it quickly I am sure...We know her digestion works because right after she was done she filled her shorts - so much it made Ryan gag :) HA!  Glad I didn't have to change that one...

Bowling...

We decided to go bowling for Ryan's birthday...it was a fabulous time...Allison did a pretty good job!  I think she even had a higher score than me :)

Trying to chat...

Ryan caught Eloise trying to chat on video the other day - it was quite entertaining!

5 Months

I can't believe Eloise is 5 months already! Time goes by too quickly...

All weekend I have been thinking that I need to update my blog - and get better at blogging...so Eloise turning 5 months is my new starting point...we will see how it goes!

I caught this picture late at night as I was putting her to bed...she is a very easy baby and I can not complain. She loves her bed and loves her musical light up seahorse...5 minutes after laying her down - she was out!

Sometimes...

A foot just gets stuck in the wrong place...

Don't worry - Daddy saved the day and got it out - no one was harmed or injured in this event!
