5 MONTHS

This GORGEOUS little girl is 5 months old today :)

MILESTONE: ROLLING OVER

Kate has been rolling onto her side for quite some time, but hadn't yet rolled the whole way over.

Today she rolled completely over... twice in a row (She's 4.5 months old)
She didn't like it much though, because she kept getting her one arm stuck underneath her belly, so she got mad pretty quickly each time, and I had to flip her back over onto her back - silly girl. :)

EDIT TO POST:
Since posting the picture earlier today, Kate has made GREAT progress in just a couple hours.
She's managed to roll over without getting her arm stuck, and is holding her head up nice and strong. I thought I'd add an extra picture of her improved rolling of the day. :)

DADDY'S GIRL

I just wanted to post some adorable pictures of a proud (and handsome) daddy, and his beautiful little girl.
She definitely loves her daddy.

I really wanted to get some photo's of Luke with Kate and his daddy too, but he wasn't feeling too eager to have a photo shoot, so these are all I could get. lol
(he needs a hair cut. lol)

THE BEST BIG BROTHER

After the first couple months of adjusting to a sibling, Luke warmed up to Kate really well, and has become the sweetest big brother to her since.
He often just hangs out with her on her play mat, or puts a toy in her hand for her to play with.
He seems to very much understand that she can't 'Play' properly yet, so he helps her to hold a toy, and just hangs out by her.
Often we'll hear him sitting by her and saying, "Hey baby girl" with his sweet little voice albeit very limited pronunciation. He's heard us say that to her many times, and that's become how he 'chats' to her when they play together :)

He may still give Jake and I a lot of challenges, but he is one seriously sweet big brother to a very lucky little girl :)

"Hey Baby Girl"

Kate needs a toy too :)

MELT DOWN MODE

For about the past year, Jake and I have dealt with melt downs and tantrums of varying degrees of severity, multiple times a day, most days of the week...

Here is a little taste of what we get to 'enjoy' daily.
He'd already been screaming for about 30 minutes by this point, so in this video he's starting to 'get tired' and quiet down some.

He finally decided he was done crying and screaming about 10 minutes ago, and before I could even finish this blog post he has already started ANOTHER melt down about something else...
Oh the Joys :/
I'm starting to wonder if we'll ever see the end of this 'phase' and get to really enjoy the boy we know can be such a darling and little cutie...

SILLY SOUNDS AND SOLID FOODS

Tonight a friend from church was babysitting the kids for us while we went to a wedding reception. She got Kate to make these silly sounds and we caught it on camera when we got home. She's such a silly girl. We love our Kate :)

This morning we gave Kate her first taste of cereal.
She wasn't really sure what to do with it, but as usual, she was a good sport.
I think in no time at all she'll love 'big girl food' :)
