5 Mos. Old


Olivia turned 5 mos. old on Monday. She is growing quickly, a little too quickly for me as she is my last baby! She is healthy weighing 13 lbs 13 oz. and measuring 251/4". She has changed a lot in the last month. She can now move about two feet and around in a circle. She gets her bum up and head down and kind of wriggles along. She also can sit, although shakily, on her own. She is starting hold her own bottle and had solids recently for the first time, which she really enjoys, although is still getting the knack of. She loves the jolly jumper and loves when her siblings talk to her. Her whole face lights up, even when she's crying. She's even moved into her own room, out of her bassinet and into a crib. That's longest, out of all my babies, that one has stayed in our room. Mommy's hanging on. All in all she'd doing great. Her are some pics of her and one of Lochlan with his special friend visiting from preschool, Jefferey. We have to write about their activities together. I'll write more later but we are having some computer problems at the moment and I'm just hoping that this will work. Cheers! L

Sounds like Olivia is quite the mover and shaker. Is it just the picture, my eyes or what but does she have a hint or more of red in her hair too? Great photos. She is super cute.

Hi Mark and Laura,
Auntie Elsie here. Jenay has fixed me up so I can see your blog site without too much trouble.
Hope to check out the site on a requalar base and see how things are going. Kids are getting big but what a wonderful looking family. Can't get over the RED hair!! Wow. Does her personality match it?
This is short but I wanted you to know we should be keeping in touch with how things are going. Bye for now.
Lots of love
Auntie Elsie-- We're off to spend the afternoon with your mom and dad at the lake.
