5 Months!

At this point Hannah is well into her fifth month! You can really notice her transforming from a newborn baby into a little girl.
So big!
She lets you know what she likes and dislikes, and she has an opinion about EVERYTHING! Hannah's babbling sounds a lot more like talking and most of the time she can be found having a serious conversation with herself, or her toys, even Eli's guitars! My favorite development is Hannah's bear hugs & kisses. It's nothing short of a full on body attack of affection. She grabs your neck & hair and practically gnaws your chin off!
Love hurts! 
She's also sitting up on her own now! She can't actually get up by herself, but with a little help getting to the sitting position she'll play for quite a while before she falls down!
Hannah also ate her first "real food" meal this month! She enjoyed a lovely bowl of watery rice cereal as an introduction into the world of solids. Before trying solids with Hannah, I had read all about how difficult it may be to get your baby interested in eating solid food, so I was prepared for an uphill battle. Not surprisingly, Hannah ate her first meal like a champ and was very upset when she was finished! Now when we feed her we struggle to get the spoonfuls in fast enough!  So far she's eaten rice cereal and bananas, tonight we're trying carrots (maybe some icing for daddy's birthday?)!
YUM!
All done! :( 
We also introduced the sippy cup and Hannah loves drinking water out of it. I think we're going to try to bypass bottles all together!
Sluuurp! 
 We've been having so much fun this summer as a new family, going on small adventures and enjoying all of Hannah's "firsts".  I can't believe she's almost 6 months old!
First time in the sand!

First lawn concert!
