Mommy started back to work on 9/16/13. What a bittersweet day, you turned 5 months old AND Mommy had her first day back. You get to play with Ms. Jessica on Mondays and Tuesdays (and the occasional Wednesday). It is Daddy/Daughter days on Wednesdays and Thursdays and then Mommy again!!!
This is a VERY heavy picture post. I really tried to keep it low(er) but I just couldn't. There are so many new things you have learned and so many precious smiles that I just couldn't say No.

You just love sitting up and you are getting so very strong! We place a boppy pillow around you and you have at it tossing your toys around! You are so very close to sitting up all on your own!

And I can only imagine how devine the head of your dolls must taste! Because they first thing you do when you get them is look at their sweet faces and then shove their heads into your mouth! Occasionally you will grab them by a pigtail and shake the stuffing out of them but promptly they go back into your mouth. There may be a nickname of "Zombie Baby" floating around.

With holding and loving you all day I sometimes need a moment to set you down just to see just how small you actually are. But of course I must pick you up right away! The smell of a sweet baby is so terribly addicting!

This Month we picked you up a jumper and your tiny feet are in heaven! All I have to say "Jump, jump, jump) and you smile and just jump your little heart out. Your favorite activity on it is the purple hippo that rolls and has little balls inside that make a noise as it rotates.

Your first Costco trip. I don't think you have ever been in a store while sitting in your carseat. So many views and people walking around. So many wonderfully things to see.

Crib shot!

Practicing for Jessica's.

We have playdates on Friday's with a few of your girlfriends. We drop your brother off at school and then pop over to Auntie Rani's house for a nice walk and then a nap. This was the first time you got to sit with the girls in their stroller. Lets just say you were less than thrilled.

I am pretty sure he would give you the world.

A happy little clam in the bath tub. It isn't so easy for you to splash around while sitting in the bath sling but you try your hardest to hit that water. And kicking your little legs until they hit the side of the tub, and then kicking some more because legs hitting the side of the tub make and AWESOME sound!

Occasionally you are not so happy with Mommy. Like when I lay you in your crib for a nap for instance. But sleeping while cuddled up in someones arms in the rocking chair, you will sleep for hours.

There were a few days this Summer that were a tad bit warm. I overheard another Mama say she gave her little one some frozen breast milk to help cool him down. So we gave it a shot and although we only did it once it was kind of interesting and you didn't complain a bit!

Sometimes I put you in things just because I can. We are not going anywhere and we have nothing else to do. Perfect time for a little dress-up I would say!

I hope you always get as excited with new books or books in general, as you do now. We talk about a page and you love to hit the pictures. Sometimes while you are playing with your toys I will bring out a book and you just can not contain yourself until you have that book in your hands. To die for!

I need to make sure I get more of these. My favorite little nakey baby!

Oh your Daddy loves you. He longs to be your favorite.

These two. Perfection. They are the two most kindest, caring souls I have ever met. And incredibly happy, most of the time.

So that jumper... you love so very much. I suppose I will look at it as, at least we got your first injury out of the way.

Your Auntie Jennifer sent you the sweetest Minnie Mouse Hoodie all the way from Walt Disney World. Your sadness had nothing to do with the sweater but it quite possibly made this photo that much cuter.

Baby Date Friday!

Documenting that time we bought a convertible carseat and you sat there judging me with your eyes.

Sippy Cup Time!

Pure joy you are. Ever single day.

Your brother is so ecstatic everyday when we pick him up! And you are just dying to be done with the car.

There went an entire Summer! Although we didn't get to do all the things I had hoped, my heart is happy with the memories that we did make. The first day of school this year was an exciting one. Not only is it the start to his final year in elementary school but S was assigned his first male teacher! I just know this will be the best year yet for him!

Obligatory First Day of School Tree Picture!

It is a tradition of ours that on the morning of the first day of school we go out to breakfast and S gets to pick which restaurant. This year he chose Buttercup Bar and Grill. This was the very first time O had ever been in a restaurant so we sat at a booth and squeezed sis in carseat and all.
