5 Months old!

I realize I'm a little late with posting this entry. Clover is actually 5 1/2 months now. I wanted to share some recent pictures of our big girl. I can't believe how fast she is growing up! Right now Clover is rolling and scooting all over the place. We expect to see her crawling any day now. She is getting close to sitting up on her own, but is usually too curious to sit still very long and ends up falling over while reaching for something. We have officially entered teething which can make for a very cranky baby. Between teething tabs and Sophie the Giraffe we are making our way through it. Clover is still a huge fan of Baby Einstein, the Jumperoo, and bath time. We've also discovered that she enjoys a little quiet-alone time. We've been putting her up in her room with a few toy either on the floor in front of the mirror or in her crib, and she is happy to play by herself for 20-30 minutes at a time. I love listening to her talk to herself on the baby monitor and spying on her through the bedroom doors. This morning I actually got 30 minutes of yoga in while I listened to her play and talk up in her crib.....it's better than music!

Clover is putting EVERYTHING in her mouth right now. If you extend a hand to say hello, expect it to get chomped on :)

Clover enjoying a little girl talk with me in the morning while I make coffee. This was before she got to wiggly to wiggle herself right out of the Bumbo. If you don't know what a Bumbo is....it's the purple chair you see her sitting in. They are made for babies to sit in before they are able to sit up on their own ;)


Daddy and Clover playing on the floor during their morning time while Mom sleeps in!

Clover looking very proud of herself after completing her first finger painting. She helped me make Michael his first Father's Day card. She is getting over a cold here, which explains the running nose and red eyes.

Clover and Daddy reading stories before bedtime. Their favorite story right now is The Lorax!

Siblings at play. Charlie and Clover love playing together on the floor. They think it's OK to share toys, so you have to keep a close eye on them.

Sibling love! Charlie and Clover really do love each other. Charlie stays close by wherever Clover is and Clover is always looking around trying to see what Charlie is up too.

This was during Monica and Jackie's visit. Clover Jumperoo'd herself right out!

Just looking as cute as can be!! I love that green shirt on her :)

Clover thinks Ellie is pretty cool.
