So many firsts!

Adalynn turned 5 months old on the 15th and is growing and changing every single day. Our baby is getting big so quickly. She cut her first tooth last Tuesday, Jinx and I were ecstatic! Based on the constant finger gnawing and drooling we will likely see another tooth very soon. Adalynn is so full of personality and spunk these days, she keeps us entertained for hours on end. For the last 2 weeks she has been able to sit up on her own, which has meant many other changes as well. We retired the baby bathtub this week and she is now LOVING her big girl baths in the tub! And tonight at a restaurant she had her first high-chair experience. She isn't crawling yet, but can definitely get herself around by rolling or 'creeping' around on the floor. It's probably time to start baby-proofing everything around the house, she'll be truly mobile in no time.

Today we took our very first trip to the zoo. She did great and we really enjoyed getting to show her and tell her about the animals. Life with a little one is getting more and more fun everyday, now that she is more interactive and playful. We will probably start her on solid foods this week, and can't wait to see her reaction once we open up her taste palette to more than Mommy's milk.

Happy Birthday Dad!

With the flu finally behind us, things are getting back to normal. Both Adalynn and Jinx are doing much better! We spent the weekend celebrating Jinx's 26th Birthday!! Mommy and Daddy took a much needed date night on Saturday for dinner at Brazeiro's! It was excellent, and we really enjoyed having some time alone for the first time in over 4 months. We resolved that we really should do that more often.

Adalynn is doing GREAT and growing like a weed! She will be 5 months old on the 15th, where does the time go? This weekend she began sitting up on her own without any assistance. She looks so big sitting up and playing with her toys! Her new favorite thing is to try and imitate us rolling our lips, it usually ends with her spitting all over the place but it is so cute to see her try and do what we do. She has also learned to give kisses(open mouth slobber all over our faces)! So sweet!:)
