Baby Elisabeth is now 5 months!!!

Haha!  There she is, literally caught red-handed by her mummy doing what she loves best to do - Put EVERYTHING in her mouth, even her own toes.  You best watch yourself if you are near her mouth because she will try to eat you and it's the cutest thing.  This is her biggest 5 month development.  Other 5 month developments:

-Elisabeth is now observing us eat and I think interested in trying it herself
-She smiles a lot more now, especially at strangers, who love to get it out of her
-She laughs a little bit more too
-Her hair is the softest peach fuzz you ever did feel
-Her eyes are still a lovely steel blue with maybe an itty bit of green in the very center
-She has the chunkiest thighs, love em!
-She loves new things and experiences
-She only likes to drink similac soy, no thank you to other formula
-Did I mention she loves to chew on anything that gets into her hands.  Today I bought a new book for her and tried to read it to her but she only wanted to chew on it.  So funny.
-She rolls over onto her tummy but then gets stuck there and isn't sure how to get back to her back and yells out for help, especially when she wakes up from naps
-Still isn't a very good napper, but an awesome night sleeper still.  I am determined to give her a structured daily sleep schedule. 

Here she is being caught by her poppa about to pop a toe in her mouth.

 We went for an outing.  Isn't she a doll with her sunglasses?
 Ahhhh, Midway the beautiful!  We went biking there on Saturday followed up by a double dinner date with Jared and Sharelle at our fave Mexican restaurant - Tarahumera.  It was a fabulous date night.  Midway was as enchanting as ever and we were oh so happy!  What a memorable evening.

 The bewitching town of Midway.  Reminds me of Brigadoon. 
 Here is Paul looking dashing in his bike gear on Main Street in Midway.
 Here I am dressed in Mexican garb for a folkoric dance I did with some other DMC ladies for our talent show at our company-wide party.  Ay ay ay!!!!
 Here is a sweet pic of my mom with Elisabeth at the airport.  She came for a short visit.
