Evelyn - 5 Months

I can't believe my sweet girl is 5 months old! Time is flying. 

This past month has been crazy! Two teeth, two helmet scans, rolling over from belly to back and vice versa, and a daily-increasing love for this blessing. 

Sister love: 

Green door

It was gorgeous last weekend, and I FINALLY painted the front door to match our updated mailbox! (Good thing too, because it's apparently winter again here, brrr). 

Josh took the door off the hinges for me -- yippee -- made it so much easier to paint. 

I love the color! 

Learning - Letter G

Grapes:

And of course we ate a "bunch" of grapes this week. 

Giraffe: 

Her giraffe bag - had to find the giraffe in each book.

Living Treasures:

Digging for the giraffe in the sandbox:

Glitter - yippee! 

Glitter bag - we laid it over a sheet with a big G and a little g and traced them with our fingers. 

Then we laid it over the letters A - G and pushed around the glitter to find them. 

Glitter jar - shake and all the glitter swirls around. Eventually I'll try as a timeout "timer" as she waits for the glitter to settle. 

Peekaboo

How can my baby be teaching my other baby to play peekaboo? When did she get so big? 

I love these two! 

Outside Activities

It's finally nice enough to be outside -- yippee! Ella's a little explorer and would live outside if I let her.

Lots of walks:

Finds every puddle!

Sandbox on our back deck:

Sprinkler:

Sliding! 

Hanging outside:

Bike riding/scooting:

G is for Giraffe

This week was "G" week: Grapes, Gillespie, Giraffe, and Glitter. 

So we headed to Living treasures so see the giraffes....Ella hated them. 

She did however love the ducks and the monkeys.
