5 Months

Want to know what I've been up to? Here's a few pictures to show you what a busy 5 month old I've been...

Bedtime stories and snuggles with Daddy.

We Meet Again!

During Christmas vacation we got to visit with Mommy's college roommate, her husband, and their daughter Braelyn!  Brae and I met when I was 5 weeks old and she was 3 months old.  Now I'm 5 months old and Braelyn is 7 months old.  We had a great visit and had lots of fun playing together.  We wish you guys lived closer!

I was so excited for them to come over!

Hi friend!

Want me to help you roll over?

Mommy and Mandi have know each other since they were babies!  I hope that Braelyn and I will be good friends when we grow up.

Merry Christmas

This year I got to celebrate the most magical time of the year for the first time...Christmas!  We had a great holiday season and I even got to sit on Santa's lap!  Daddy's work schedule worked out great this year and we were able to travel back to Indiana to celebrate with both sides of the family.  We made it back to Peoria just in time for Christmas Eve and Santa left me lots of goodies under the tree on Christmas morning.  Although I loved my gifts (or the wrapping paper), and all of the yummy food, I think that my favorite part of the holiday season was spending time with our family!  I can't wait to do this again next year!! :)

Our first Christmas as a family of 3.

I got my Rosie Dog!  She was on the top of my list! :)

Taking a break from all of the festivities to watch some Christmas movies.

Christmas giggles with Grandma Cindy.

Me and the "Big Guy".  I didn't cry or smile...I just sat there.  ;)

Of course before we went to bed on Christmas Eve we had to read "Twas The Night Before Christmas."

Grandma Becky and I on Christmas break.

Smiles with Grandpa Jim!

Mommy and Daddy thought that I made a pretty cute Christmas present. :)

Smiles with my Great Grandpa Bob.
