Callie is 5 months old!

Happy Five Months to our SWEETIE!!!

Can you BELIEVE that our beautiful Callie is already 5 months old? Where is the time going? We have enjoyed seeing her learn new skills, and are so blessed with her happy demeanor!

Here are some highlights since the last post:

3/23 Callie played with her pacifier by pulling it out, and this time she made it back in to her mouth!

3/24 Callie tried baby cereal (video pending... it was cute! The first trial was good, the second trial was eh, and now we are just kind of holding off until she regulates her ounces again...)

3/27 Callie laughed and also said the /l/ sound for the first time

4/1 Callie laughed at "high five" (video below)

4/2 Callie gave Mommy 5 high fives in a row while FaceTiming with Grandma! Mommy said "High Five", and Callie arches her arm slowly to put her hand in my hand!

Some other fun things that she has learned to do and/or we have smiled over and over about:

When you stand her up on your lap facing you, she has a new energetic, high-pitched sound she makes and enjoys doing repeatedly! Also, Callie reaches for our lips when she is in front of our face, and will pinch our cheeks. She enjoys bouncing/dancing to her exercauser music, Callie has discovered how to make a pouty sad lip, and will slowly pull her bottom lip forward and in slow motion make a sad face, followed by a cry. She also holds her hands interlocked like Mr. Burns on the Simpsons! She really has utilized her hands and feet a lot this past week. She can reach for objects, and hold everything now (and likes to put them in her mouth!) Callie also likes to hold Mommy's finger when she is feeding, and yesterday Callie took my hand and rubbed it on her cheek repeatedly. SO ADORABLE! I downloaded a free app on my phone, that Callie also is engaged with. She touches animals and other common images, it shows the picture larger, says the name, and the sound it makes. She REALLY loves our iPhones and iPads! Daddy's Baby! Callie has held her toes a few times, and yesterday she tried to lean forward to eat them, but could not figure out how. Callie grabs her feet and legs, but there are no pictures yet, since this usually occurs when she is on the changing table! 

Enjoy the pictures!

Stay tuned for more adventures of Callie!
