Five Months!
Yesterday k turned five months old. This past month went by pretty fast. k had her first solid food, turned over from her stomach to her back and learned how to sit up. It is so fun to watch her develop. For those who do not have DSL and could not watch the “first meal” video, here are some pictures of k eating rice cereal. She seems to enjoy her new high chair, which is really a booster seat that straps onto a regular chair–genius!
Playing Around With Dad
On Saturday we went to my parents’ house to belatedly celebrate Mother’s Day and my Dad’s birthday. Before dinner, D was playing around with k, resulting in the following pictures:
Wearing Daddy’s hat
Carrying Daddy’s cell phone (Question: why do they put pockets on baby clothes?)
She Can Sit Up!
This past week, k mastered the art of sitting. I wouldn’t say she is 100% stable, but she can definitely sit on her own for an extended period of time.
“I can sit up by myself…”
“…even with my eyes closed!”
Happy k
Looking at our pictures of k, you might think she doesn’t smile too much (case in point: the Newport Beach picture with D–could she look any more sad?) However, she does smile a lot when the camera is not pointed at her. She is still learning how to laugh, and makes us laugh in the process.
My First Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day took on a new meaning for me this year. Being a mother makes me appreciate my mother all the more.
Cinco de Mayo Weekend
In order to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, we ate at Taco Rosa in Newport Beach. It made D’s “top restaurant” list (after some re-tooling, which I am sure he will explain later). We had a pineapple agua fresca (free refills!), Arizona burrito (chicken, spinach, mushrooms), Mexico City enchiladas (chicken), and an amuse bouche (is that how you spell it?) of a mini vegetarian tostada, beef empanada and marinated veggies. k was on her best behavior. 😉
Then we went to Fashion Island. I found shoes at the Macy’s Friends and Family sale (a salesperson was nice enough to give us the discount even though I lost my coupon) and D bought socks.
I think k has a good head shape for hats. She seems to like them, too.
K’s First Meal (Solid Food)
K had her first meal. Her expressions tell the whole story…
Enjoy
She’s Growing Up!
Look at those thighs! Don’t laugh at them in front of her though, because she gets sensitive. 🙂
Infant Dedication
k’s infant dedication (last week).
This weekend D wanted to do “a whole lotta nothing” and that is exactly what we did. Well, I did watch Huell Howser show on Phillipe’s (french dip place in downtown LA). It is amazing how he can stretch ten minutes of material into an hour!
