Rolling (back) over!

Exactly one month after Lizzie began rolling from her back to her front she finally figured out how to get back! For a whole month she was so frustrated with me and herself probably, wondering how to flip back over. But she learned after much practice on her tummy and now can't make up her mind which side she wants to be on! She has begun rolling along the floor getting a bit of distance. She can also turn her body to face different directions to a small extent.

Another skill that she is improving in is sitting up by herself. Lizzie will sit in front on me and play with her toys sitting up and then all the sudden tip over again with a surprised look on her face. It's pretty fun to watch her little body learning how to control itself.

Lizzie is doing great at eating her rice cereal. We still make a mess together but she really enjoys eating like mom and dad. She will grab our cups and try to drink out of them which just makes her daddy laugh. He will let her suck on the rim of his cup for a bit. They are funny together!

This past week all three of us were hit with colds (I may have passed it to Aaron and Lizzie.... Oops!) I got over it first and then got to take care of my two sweet hearts. Here are some cute pictures of dad and baby, sick together! They stayed in that position for half an hour- quite an accomplishment for a 5 month old.

My baby girl is still pretty quiet but man, when she decides to talk she is pretty loud. Lizzie loves making high pitched chirps and yelps that make me laugh as I try to mimic the sounds she makes. Her excited little looks are so precious. Here are pictures of Lizzie ready for bed!

Lizzie loves standing up as I have said before. She really enjoys taking steps as her daddy walks her around the room. She wobbles a lot but it is adorable! She is so proud of herself when she tries to walk. We love this girl!

These last two are just adorable pictures of Lizzie as we are bundling up more and more with winter coming.
