My baby's 5 months! I never dreamed I'd have this much fun with a five month old before....no one ever told me it would feel *this good*....I absolutely love waking up every morning to the sounds of my darling cooing and talking in her crib. Every morning when I go in she lifts her head up and arches her neck to see me. And when she does make eye contact...it's like the gates of heaven opened up for her, because her smile is to die for. She then flops her head back down on her mattress and squeals with delight until I swoop her up and she snuggles her little head into my shoulder for lots of love. I absolutely love and am cherishing these moments with Kairis. Today, we drove out to Tualatin to pick up a super cute solid wood highchair on craigslist for $10--what a deal! I just need to refinish it and tighten things up a bit and it will be in great working order.
A few other fun things about Kairis...
Two days ago she started rolling over continuously....I can't lay her on our bed anymore for play-time and then walk off and do a load of laundry! She prefers her tummy and rolls and rolls to reach new things she's interested in. Another cute thing is her mirror in her room. Every morning I take her to the mirror in her room (Tim made it...it's an old window pane that he screwed a mirror on the back of, and fastened some cute old glass knobs on for hanging bath towels on) and she just lights up and laughs and thoroughly enjoys seeing herself and me. I tried to get some cute pictures of this, for memories sake, but didn't have too much success with her smiling! As I type this, she's laying on our bed watching me, waiting for me to make eye contact with her and see my smile. I just love this stage she's in. Also, her new love is chewing on her toes. She loves pulling her feet up to her mouth; this is kinda gross to me, but I guess she's just "discovering" herself. ;) She is also into (as Tim would say) "blowing raspberries" with her mouth. For those of you who don't know what that is, including myself....it's that sound you make with your lips when you are blowing air out of them; maybe similar to playing a musical instrument, like flute or tuba? (I have no clue....) Anyway, it's cute, but causes lots of drool, hence the bib wearing.
Putting all politics aside....check out her adorable elephant pants! I LOVE these, not to mention they were only 50 cents at a kids store in Seaside.
I have so many other fun things to post....however, I'm being patient, as Tim has wanted to blog for some time now, and didn't want me to "steal" all of his blogging moments.

You three are my daily (or so) dose of laughter! It is alsways so fun to read your blog! I remember those days as well with Emma when she was our only little peanut. Cherish them! They do fly by!
cute update! love the photos, as always. :) awesome high chair - can't wait to see it!
btw, if you tried to play the flute by blowing raspberries, you would make some pretty strange noises! ;D
Awww! She is so cute and precious. It does go by so fast and I just want to soak it all in. I am glad you all are doing so well and having fun together!
Actually, I am pretty sure that we all told you that you were going to be able to love your baby more than your CAT...but at the time you couldn't believe it could be true =) It's something that is really unbelieveable until you experience it!
Btw..we need to get together one of these days...it's been FOREVER since we've talked!
Cute, cute, cute!!!! It does go by too fast, doesn't it? I love each stage as it comes.
Great high chair, love real wood furniture of any kind! :)
Look at how big she is!! I love the high chair. It sure is a great find. Can't wait to see you guys again and actually talk not just fun by. I hope we will all be healthy enough to be in public soon.
5 months really is a super-fun age! They sure can make your heart melt, too. Isn't it wonderful to be "Everything" to your little one?! I am so happy for you!
