5 Months Old

I can't believe it, Erin is 5 months old today! Time has flown, although there have been a few nights that have seemed extremely long. We have survived her first cold and the sleep deprivation that goes along with that. Erin's favorite thing to do at 5 months is to suck on her toes while we're changing her diaper. Her main form of communication consists of spitting (as seen in the last video), which I did not teach her, but I'm sure my laughing has only reinforced it!! She can ALMOST sit up on her own, but she usually folds in half forward as she reaches to put her feet in her mouth. She can now do multiple rolls in a row, which has made our carpet space seem even smaller. I can tell how much she loves her daddy because she will drop everything to say hello when he comes home from work. She is still such a sweetie and continues to make me laugh every day with her silly squeals and little giggles.

Erin's Amazing Feets....Pfffth

Breckenridge, Cute Hats & Bumbo Seat

Erin took her first trip to Breckenridge this past weekend. She slept the whole way there, but the drive on the way home was a whole different story. The weather was beautiful so we were able to take a nice stroll, eat lunch with the Browns and look in a few shops.

I just love this hat I bought for Erin on Etsy.

She is able to sit up with the help of the Bumbo seat :)

Christmas in NJ

Erin had a great first Christmas in NJ with the Sullivans! Bob earned his first "Father of the Year Award" on the way there when Erin decided to poop through her diaper & pants mid-air. Boy was I thankful to have Bob there to change her and clean her up in those small bathrooms! Other than that, Erin did great on her first flight and made it safely to Nana and Grandpa's house. We took lots and lots of pictures to document her first Christmas as she met her extended family on the Sullivan side for the first time. Here are just a few of Erin's first Christmas moments. While we were there Erin has started to laugh out loud more often and rolled over for the first time from her tummy to back. Oh, and I should mention that she stayed up to watch the ball drop on New Year's Eve (much to our dismay).

Erin already misses her Nana and Grandpa!

We're In Trouble

Well, not really in big trouble, but this could get interesting. We'll be heading to NJ for Christmas this year and Erin can't wait to see Nana and Grandpa. She'll also get to meet a few other family members on the Sullivan side of the family! We're extremely excited, but I must say that I am also kind of nervous about flying with a baby. Erin has recently learned how to make her voice as high pitched and as loud as possible. She screams when she's happy, when she's lonely, when she's getting hungry, when she's tired, when she needs her diaper changed, etc. I think it is cute and I just laugh every time, but those around us on the flight may not feel the same way.

Wish us luck on our first trip with Erin. Hopefully there are no blowouts! Merry Christmas!

12 Weeks Old!

Erin now weighs in at 11 lbs 9 0z and has a slightly large head (just like her daddy and grandpa Bob). The first thing everyone says when they first see her is "look at those blue eyes!" Unfortunately, I think we're going to have to watch her. She was already flirting with the firemen at the grocery store yesterday. Here are some more pics from the last month:

Look how long I am getting!

Smiling all the time!

Not sure if I like this hat :(
