Naptime, Playtime, Monster...and a 5 month old :)

The other day I went in to check on Eli, who had been sleeping for an unusually long time, and this is what I found:

When I checked on Leah, THIS is what I found:

Then I went back to Eli's room...and found this:

...and then they found each other:

Eli tried to climb into the crib...not a good idea.

Yesterday (the 28th) we went to a nearby park for some fun. I was so glad to get out of the house-I woke up SO cranky. Eli had peed through his diaper and left a very substantial puddle for me to step in in the hallway (how do you DO that when you are wearing a diaper?) and then wanted to play with mommy...all of this was at 6:30 am...and I was NOT in the mood to play. So by 10:00 I was ready for a distraction. The park did the trick!

Eli was having so much fun :)

He looks like such a big boy!

Loves the slide.

Leah was enjoying the straps in the stroller...this reminded me of the giraffes at the zoo...

She took a nice nap at the park while Eli played...and I chatted with friends. It was exactly what I needed to get me out of my rotten mood.

After discussing with Edgar, I think this is when we would say Leah is officially 5 months old. What do you do when she was born on the 30th, and there is no 30th in February? SO, yesterday Leah was 5 months old.

A little about what she can do at 5 months...

She can almost sit up, she can roll one way (back to belly) she says 'bababababa', she eats every 4 hours, she sleeps 12 hours at night (YAY!) I change her diaper about 9 times a day, she looks cute in everything, she smiles at anyone that will smile at her, she loves her brother and is always entertained by him, she likes to be held, she doesn't really like TV (at least not like Eli did at this age), she loves rattles, and her bug (pictured above), and when she cries really hard, if you get her naked, she'll stop.

That's all I can think of off the top of my head :) Of course, Eli just got up from his nap, so I'm a bit more distracted than I was 2 minutes ago...

And lastly, Leah is not afraid of monsters. Just sayin'
