Five Month Foodie!

So we are tooling along through the ever so white month of February and I find myself curious if the bland whiteness will dull Hannah's love of color! Not really, but I'm tired of the white and can't wait to start showing her all the great stuff outside...other than snow:)

We had a landmark day a week and a half ago and she not only managed to get A foot in her little mouth, but BOTH feet at once! She is just chattering away to the baby in the crib mirror when she wakes from her naps, tries to lick everything and concentrates with great seriousness when she is trying to grab for something and make all little fingers work in the same direction.

Hannah is pulling at objects now to pull them either closer to her or out of someone's hand, or even off a toy bar. She is very strong. She loves to stand and is sitting very well on her own, though the weeble still wobbles and will fall down if you aren't paying attention!

So our culinary repetoire is extended to pears, apples, banana, whole grain cereal, carrots, parsnips, bok choy, turnips, sweet potatoes and peas. By the end of this week we will be adding some rutabaga in there and mango. She is a really good eater, eating about 4 ounces or better at a sitting and eats real food twice a day. Her gums are swelling up and her chews on all her fingers.

She's watching Daddy raptly and finds him much more entertaining than Mommy at the moment. He is a proud father as she held her first drumstick this weekend! (I need to find a decent job so I can purchase a piano or good keyborad for those long fingers:)) Hannah is not a consistent giggler at this point. She seems so serious. Pleasant but serious. the same thing will not make her giggle twice in a row. She smiles and has a peaceful look on her face more than big smiles and giggling all the time. I hope she gets a little happier as time wears on (of course I'll be happy with her just the way she is, too!!) .

Other than that, she is doing great and our 6 month check up is in two weeks!
