5 months old / July 4

CRAZY HAIR DAY

The boys had crazy hair day at school last week. NICE!!!

BIG GIRL

Cara is such a big girl now. She would rather sit in her booster chair like her brother Harris than in the high chair. Who am I to argue? She also loves chewing on anything, especially her dolly, Paige.

FIVE MONTHS OLD

Cara is five months old now. To celebrate, we got her a chair like her brothers. She loves it as you can see.

Harris would rather have hers now than his because it's bigger.

Hanging out by the pool

At five months old Cara can:

• roll over
• sit unsupported
• reach for things she wants
• eat solids (even mashed potatoes and gravy) shhh... don't tell her doctor
• try to take her brothers' toys
• squeal when you play peek a boo
• grab her toes and try to put them in her mouth
• scoot herself around on her back using her feet
• sit on riding toys and hold on
• stand to play with her Fisher Price table with a little help for balance

POOL FUN

Here are the boys hanging out in the tropical pool float

It's a family affair

JULY 4TH

For the 4th, we headed out to my parents' lake house for dinner and fireworks. Cara enjoyed riding on Harris's fire truck. Harris DID NOT enjoy watching Cara ride on HIS fire truck.

I wasn't sure if it would be chilly and windy on the boat for the fireworks. I think I might have overdressed little miss.

Nick really enjoyed Big Dan's homemade ice cream.

Harris just enjoyed splashing in the water.

It was a great day spent with loved ones!
