5 months old!!

This was actually an evening of one of the days I had to stay home with Kayla b/c she was sick. We brought her to the doctor and he just thought it was a virus. Apparently it was b/c when Chad's parents came in the next weekend, they got sick too. Sorry about that. I think we're all over it now. It was a bad one that I hope won't happen again.


We were trying to get a smiling picture on her 5 month birthday and this is as good as we got. She was getting over being sick and didn't feel 100%

Kayla Gail is 5 months old now. She's really growing up fast and getting a personality. By the last doctor's visit she's about 14 1/2 pounds. Her favorite thing to do now days is blow rasberries "bubbles" and she's getting really good at it. She gets on a roll and doesn't stop. She's finally well now and in good spirits everyday. She is still a pretty mellow baby and is pretty content most of the time, but she does like to squeal in a very high pitch when she gets excited. I like to give her a lot of kisses and she's getting to where she will try to chew on my nose if I get it close enough. She's teething right now and drooling like crazy. We probably go through about 4 bibs a day. She loves to stand up on your lap &/or bounce. She is almost sitting up and not really rolling over as much. She loves to play with her toys when she's in the mood. In the morning we'll just lay her down on her back and she's content with that. She loves to be held and smiled at, and she'll return the favor a lot. She's getting to know us and her grandparents pretty well. Chad keeps saying "da-da" to her hopeing that they might be her first words. I don't really care what they are. I just want to hear them.
