violet is 5 MONTHS old!

our little lady is 5 months old!!! as a celebration last night she got her first taste of butternut squash and she ate it all up! she's had rice cereal and oatmeal as well. i think she prefers the rice over the oats.. they give her gas!!! infact she's laying in her crib right now tootin' up a storm! :)

she's also been sitting in her stroller rather than riding in her carseat in the stroller. it's so funny how a few days even make a difference in her ability to try new things. she goes back and forth from her exersaucer to the johnny jump up. she hasn't quite gotten the hang of the jump up... she just leans back and sways around! but it's cute none the less.

johns work schedule has been very good lately. he's been able to keep violet home while i go to work! and with this new cereal eating business she gets some food too! oh yeah, she's been using a sippy cup for milk. yippeeeeeee!!!

today we're taking her and her cousin lola to the pumpkin patch! should be a good time. my sister amber is expecting her 2nd baby on the 26th! so there'll be another baby in town!

alright, violet is grunting and that will soon turn into a scream. love to you all.
