Has it really been 5 months?  Some days it feels like 5 days, while other times it feels like 5 years!  As with every other set of parents, we think OUR baby is absolutely perfect!  She really is so much fun.  This past month she: *started rolling from her front to her back, but only occasionally...she still prefers her stomach

*started eating solids and LOVES them.  Any time you put the spoon in her line of sight, she dive bombs for it!

*smiles at everybody and everything EXCEPT she screams, screams, screams when being held by a guy

*LOVES tearing up things.  We get an obscene amount of magazines at our house so rather than just throwing them away I would let her tear them all apart. Each magazine kept her entertained for probably a half hour.  However, I have since decided that since I don't want her to destroy every paper that comes in her path, I should probably stop this fun activity.

*is still sleeping like a champ; however, we neglected to inform her of the time change...she had a few mornings where she was up bright and early!

*has the cutest pouty lip/face.  I really need to try and get a picture of it, it cracks me up.

*was the cutest little BYU cheerleader for halloween

*still loves bath time.  When we are draining the tub, we let her roll to her belly.  She loves splashing and kicking!

*she LOVES to scream! It isn't a mad or sad scream, but rather a scream to hear herself scream.

*she is very good at pulling her pacifier out, but really struggles putting it back in.  I feel like I am constantly helping her get it back it.

*loves sitting in the stroller facing forward! (versus snapping the car seat into the stroller which faces backwards)
