First Thanksgiving!

Lotus had lots to be thankful for on her first Thanksgiving! She had so much fun playing with her cousins Logan & Ollie! Here are some pics:

QUACK QUACK!

If her Daddy has anything to do with it Lotus' first words will be Quack Quack! About halfway into this video it gets cute so ...wait for it! Also, I realize that Lotus is too big for this baby bathtub, but unfortunately her designated bather(daddy) loathes all of her other bathing equipment, so we're stuck with this thing.

Lotus is sleeping in her big girl bed now! She had been sleeping in a co-sleeper that was attached to our bed, but for a whole week now she has been sleeping in her crib! The transition was really easy, and I'm not sure if she even noticed. Also, she has developed an attachment to a teddy bear that Aunt Becky got her named "Harrison". She loves cuddling with him while she's falling asleep. It is so cute!

Sunday Funday!

Sunday the weather was so nice we wanted to do something outside...soooo we decided to take Lotus to the Zoo for the first time. We walked A LOT and saw lions, gorillas, elephants and seals. Lotus was totally disinterested in all of these things and instead enthralled by the human children. We think next time we'll just take her to a daycare to play :) Then we went to Grammy and Pop-Pop's for dinner and to take Christmas pictures. After much tribullation (2 babies, several dogs, 6 adults, and a new camera) we ended up with some pretty good pictures! Here's some of them in this new smilebox!

Lotus is 5 months old!

This is Lotus. I'm pretty sure I'm old enough to start blogging for myself. I turned 5 months old on November 3rd! I'm good at a lot of things like sitting up with just a little help, smiling/laughing... oh and pinching! I LOVE to pinch. I'm not sure where I learned that (Ollie?). Mom keeps feeding me this weird mushy stuff that tastes kinda good, and sometimes I actually swallow it. I'm getting kinda wiggly too. Mommy had trouble getting me to sit still for this picture. I just wanted to play with my shoes! I think pretty much everything is funny, unless I'm tired or hungry then NOTHING is funny. I still wake up at night to eat a bit and be cuddled, it's OK though, my mommy and daddy don't mind. Halloween was so much fun, I can't wait for Thanksgiving!
