Cereal!

Olivia had her fist taste of food yesterday. She was making some funny faces but seemed to eat it ok. Such a big girl!

Wildkitties

We got to take the boys to a UofA basketball game! I think Colin's favorite part was all of us wearing our Arizona shirts and Parker decided it was more fun to find Wilber every 5 seconds instead of watching the game. The game wasn't that great but it was a fun day!

Five months already!


This really snuck up on me....FIVE months??!!
My smiley baby is getting so big! Olivia can almost sit up all by herself! She is strong enough for her exersaucer now and loves to sit in it. She can grasp things really well now and puts everything in her mouth (of course!). All of the sudden she has started to notice Leo and can't take her eyes off of him when he is around.
Olivia is still a good sleeper. She wakes up once a night at about 3:00am and it is just killing me lately! I decided that at five months I would try and give her a little formula at the end of the day in hopes that she would sleep a little longer. I think I had the boys try formula for the first time at two or three months but for some reason this time I wanted to see how long I could go strictly nursing Olivia. She had her first bottle today and seemed to take it fine. So keep your fingers crossed that I get a FULL night sleep tonight!! I think she is almost ready for some rice cereal too!
Olivia's legs are always very busy kicking and moving around (just like they were in my belly :). Obviously my little ballerina is ready for her first dance class!

Our Winter Vacation

The day after Christmas we went up to the cabin for some fun in the snow. We had so much fun with all the family that was up there! The boys especially loved having my cousin Alexa to play with :). They went sledding, made snow angles and this great snowman! She was also our family photographer for the week. THANK YOU ALEXA for taking so many great pictures for me!!

Alexa and Colin with their snowman!



Playing in the snow!







Olivia didn't do much playing in the snow but of course she had the perfect outfit for every occasion



We did a bunch of playing inside too. Forts, video games, movies and cards!




The best part for Colin was going snowboarding for the first time! It was the cutest thing ever. He got the smallest board and boots they had :)











Exhausted after his big day! He did really good. I was surprised how naturally he took to it. He is already asking me when it will snow again because he can't wait to go again!
