Merry Christmas! You really were not sure what Christmas was all about, but you did get the hang of opening presents. You loved all the new toys and gifts you got and had a wonderful time with all of your family.
There are tons of pictures here!
You are starting to learn so many new things! You figured out how to get around on your own! You started slowly army crawling around the living room and by the time Christmas came you were all over the house! Luckily you didn't take much interest in the tree until it was almost time to take it down. You love to explore everything in the house now, especially the drawers under Jacob's bed and in the kitchen, but you can't get into them just yet. You are just amazed at it rolling back and forth. The kitchen is your favorite place to be, especially when I am in there making dinner. You also love the outlets and electric cords. We had to cover all those up really fast! You are starting to use those legs and you can stand with Daddy or mine's help. And you love to bounce once you are standing. You said your first word, "dada," although you are still trying to figure out what it means. You love to talk and we pretend like we know what you are saying and talk with you. You started trying to drink from a sippy cup, you know that something is in there, but you can't always figure out how it comes out. You love you excer-saucer and will spend hours in there each day. You also will give out kisses, but only to a select few people! You also let us know that you want to be picked up by crawling over to our leg and hanging onto it. And of course we do because you are so huggable to hold!

You really had no idea what was going on for Halloween this year. Heck you are only 5 months old! But we dressed you up in a super cute frog costume and took you for a walk in your stroller for a little while. We even had you go to a couple of houses and get candy, but it was really just for me to take pictures!

Smile, smile, smile, you always have smiles for everyone! I love getting you up in the mornings. You have this huge smile on your face that says, yah I get to wake up now! You love kicking your legs and feet when you get excited, which is very often. You are starting to hold onto your toys and play with them. And everything you can get your hands on goes right into your mouth. Your rattle is your favorite toy right now, you love the noises it makes when you shake it.

You can even see the TV already! You like watching the news with daddy and I in the mornings and your Baby Einstein video mesmerizes you.
