Busy, busy, busy

Future Winter X Games snowboarding champ!!

We have had quite a hectic week- Phil had to go into work on Sunday and has been working 12 hour shifts since then and going to class from 7-10 every night! Jennifer and I can't wait for the weekend so that we can have him all to ourselves : )
But he's not the only one who's been busy this week ... Jennifer is talking more and more, she is saying "mama" and "dada," and even "mommy" and "daddy" (although I think she says the last two on accident mixed in with gibberish!), she picked up her passie and put it in her mouth all on her own for the first time, and she can *almost* sit up by herself! And, she is loving her new bunny, "Jammie" from Uncle Jeffrey!

BFFs

Every time one of the animals walks by, Jennifer gets so excited and reaches out for them ... Posey will let Jennifer "pet" her and doesn't mind too much when Jennifer pulls her fur!

Food!

Jennifer gets to eat real food now! The first food she got was avocado ... she loved it! She's also had sweet potato and banana. She's so excited to be eating real food (besides just the plain old cereal), she grabs at the spoon and tries to get it in her mouth herself! She's just getting food once a day in the evenings, and I mix it with a little bit of her cereal. I'm making it myself and it's been really easy so far - next veggie on the list is squash! I feel a little mean making her try squash since Phil and I don't even like it, but it'll be good for her : )

5 months old!!

Jennifer Paige is 5 months old today! We celebrated by letting her have a taste of a Newman-O ... she is so in to food, she watches us eat and tries to grab food out of our hands and pull it towards her mouth!
I can't believe how fast time is going by! She gets cuter and cuter everyday : )

Fun at home

Attack of the clones!! All she got from me is her little chin dimple!

We all had a great week with Phil at home! His time off started on Christmas day and he didn't have to go back to work until this past Monday! Jennifer loved having her daddy at home, and I loved having a little time to myself - I read Twilight in a few days, it was so good I couldn't put it down, and I was so thankful Phil was home to play with Jennifer while I read!
