Merry Christmas!

Wow - time is flying! Arden turns 6 months on January 1. She isn't crawling yet, but seems to be getting close. She can support her weight while on her hands and knees, but seems most comfortable sliding back down onto her tummy. She's experimenting with "muh" sounds and loves the color green right now.

Near the beginning of the month, Amber's sister Lauren came out for a visit. Arden LOVES her auntie! They had a great time playing together. Yesterday, Amber's Aunt Joanie, Uncle Alan, and Cousin Lindsay came for a visit too - they brought some very fun books for Arden! Amber's parents will be coming out for New Year's Eve - I'm sure we wont see Arden for that whole visit (being kidnapped by Grandma). In January, Kyle's mom will be coming out! Baby's are grandma and auntie magnets!

Merry Christmas!

5 Months!

Arden turned 5 months yesterday! She's getting better at balancing while sitting up, and has started making a more diverse assortment of sounds - including some very loud ones!

She has also started practicing eating solid foods (which we will start in a month). The attached picture explains how she has started to do this. Could she become a vegetarian, or is she just expressing her desire for leafy greens?
