Cinco Meses

This hat reminds me of the nursery rhyme

Wee Willie Winky.

Yes, I handed the book to her. No, she can't read yet OR make the animal sounds.

Do you think I should clean my counter before taking a picture? Hello.

Her cutest bib in honor of her progression towards solid food.
Falling over. Please Felicity, don't fart on us!

My little elf.

Another month, another nakie picture with ted the turtle. I can't believe Felicity is 5 months old! Well, actually I can. They say that the years go fast and the days can be very slow. True sometimes, right? I don't know if any of you listen to country music (I know, I know...) but there is a good song out now called "You're gonna miss this". The basic message is: don't try to fast forward life because believe it or not, you're going to miss what you're experiencing right now. Even though things can be tough and it's hard to be patient sometimes, I know I'm going to miss these first few months of bonding with my little spazoid.

I included such a large quantity of pictures for my sweet sister who has voluntarily quarantined her family in order to keep Felicity safe from the chicken pox. Miss you guys.

Felicity has tried rice cereal. I think maybe a drop or two actually made it to her stomach. We will keep practicing. I'm excited for her to expand her horizons. What a foodie.

So long for now...

They'll break ya hawt, kid.

Well, give us some time, and we'll be all right. After all, these are the dog days!

Big Girls

Big girls don't cry... Well, Felicity still cries of course but she is growing up and doing lots of big girl things.

She sleeps without being swaddled! It's been kind of rough, but we didn't want to swaddle her forever and she was leaving little sweaty rings on her crib sheet around her head, so we decided to to help her break her addiction before summer.

She has been rolling over once in a while. Not a consistent tumbler though.

She has tried out the bumbo chair and the exer-saucer loaned to us by Auntie Krista. She really likes it!

She hung out with her cousin Addison and had actual interaction with another kid! Addison kept trying to hand Felicity toys and saying UH OH when her binky dropped. It was pretty cute.

Speaking of big girls-I had a great mothers day! I got peanut butter pancakes in bed (helping me stay big...) and I got what I asked for which was the PED EGG. I also got planters that go on the balcony so I can grow flowers and maybe herbs (more cooking disasters coming up...) Thanks honey. I really enjoyed mothers day and the chance to honor motherhood. I hope you all had a good day too!

Pick 6

That's the same number of wins as another team I know of...

Welcome to Utah.

L.A., here we come.

Culinary Aspirations

One of my new goals is to cook dinner once a week. I know it doesn't sound very ambitious, but we get to eat at our parents on Sundays, I work 2 or 3 nights a week, Kurt cooks or we eat frozen pizza. Anyway-I was having a craving so I decided today was my day to cook (even though Kurt isn't crazy about tuna casserole, he's a good sport and it's one of my favorites). So Felicity and I put on some music and started to cook.We had some trouble along the way.

My "tuna drainer" got stuck in the can and it literally took me 10 minutes to get it out.

When I turned on the burner to cook the pasta, there was some chunk of food underneath and it was smoking and started on fire. It's kind of hard to deal with cooking catastrophes when you have a 12 lb baby strapped to you.

After we got things figured out and changed burners we were doing fine. Things were looking yummy-Alfredo sauce and herbs and breadcrumbs on top. We stuck it under the broiler and then...accidentally got distracted putting some laundry in.

I haven't had one of those TV cooking experiences where black smoke pours out of the oven. Until today.

I scooped off the burnt top and I think it's still delicious, but Kurt has yet to try it. No matter his verdict, this is our home cooked meal for the week seeing that I work the next three nights in a row. Sorry honey.

3 Down...

Some recent cute pictures...

We had a fun lunch with our good friends Laurel and Isabel! Laurel-I stole some of your pictures.

The armpit seat...

This is the princess crown from Easter that Grandma Julie gave us. Love this picture!

Ha!

I know these ones are blurry, but her smile is so cute!

This is a darling outfit that Felicity got from Aunt Mikel and the Hansen Family.We love the shoes too!

This is the baby swing at our complex. I put her in it for a few minutes whenever we go to get the mail. Even though the pictures don't prove it, I promise she likes it!

Bejeweled

This is one of my new favorite shirts. I would get one for you Marissa

if they had one in your size. You are my original peanut.

Our little peanut got her ears pierced today! I know not everyone agrees with that, but I think it's darling and now she doesn't have to wear a bow everywhere-people will know she is a girl for sure. Plus-I don't have to listen to her whine about getting her ears pierced for 12 years or so. Those are my arguments-think what you may. Kurt agreed to the idea as long as he didn't have to be there. I can understand that. Felicity did great! She cried for about 1 minute and then she was back to smiling!

4 Months!

Felicity is four months old! I don't think anyone is as obsessed about her pictures and her new accomplishments as we are, but just in case:

-Felicity rolled over from her stomach to her back 4 times in one day. She has only done it that one day but I'm sure she will figure it out again. It was during conference so maybe she was"moved by the word". Kurt missed it the first time because he was resting his eyelids.

-Felicity is now capable of being entertained by an object besides her binky. She likes toys! She likes to grab on to her baby chain and rattle. She does hit herself in the face and throw things on accident. She also likes to grab my fingers and put them in her mouth.

-Felicity is growing some new hair (not in the back-she still has a huge bald spot with a dark "soul patch" below it.) Her hair is wispy and wacky. She has some hair that is pretty long and a new layer underneath that looks like a buzz cut.

-Felicity is in the 80th percentile for height, 22nd for weight and 44th for her head size. She now weighs 12 lbs 8 oz. Yowzer.
