Growing Up Too Fast

Our baby Halle will be 5 months old in just a few days. I can't believe it's going by so fast. She has been hitting some pretty major milestones. It seems like the past couple of months she's just grown into her beautiful personality. She's smiling all the time at nearly everyone who talks to her and then turns away in shyness and excitement as she's kicking her legs. She likes when you blow on her belly or under her arm. She has learned how to roll over. She loves to use those vocal cords. She has a high pitched squeal that she loves to hear. It's so high that even she squints when she does it. But then smiles and giggles. She is playing with toys now and wants to grab EVERYTHING that is in your hand. I packed her 0-3 month old clothes away and have brought out the 3-6 month old stuff. We went to her 4 month Doctor's visit this month and got her second round of vaccines...yikes. The Doctor had nothing but great things to say. Halle was in the 50th percentile for weight and 90th percentile for her head and height. She is still pulling herself up and now with only one hand. She is now eating cereal in the mornings and the evenings and doing very well. She loves to watch Baby Einstein everyday. She always wants to face forward when you hold her. She now enjoys riding along in the grocery store. Her big blue eyes are staring at everything in amazement. Her hair is growing and turning dark finally. Our baby girl is growing up fast!

This swing used to swallow her.
There's that beautiful smile!!!
She reaches for everything as soon as you pick it up. She has no clue what it is but she wants it!
Halle really likes it when her Daddy comes home.
Dan and I got her this saucer turn-about loaded with toys for her for Christmas. She really likes it! Amazingly enough with all those toys on there she always goes for those little white tags and can't quite figure them out. 

I LOVE HER TO PIECES!! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF OUR HALLE!
