Marianne is 5 Months old!

Marianne is 5 months old! Here are her beautiful blue eyes...She is still a happy girl. She rolls...a lot. We often find her on her belly when she wakes up in the morning, and she rolls on a mission to reach certain toys. She still likes her jumperoo and loves watching Evelyn. She is close to sitting - still a little wobbly...it is hard for her to decide if she wants to sit or if she would rather dive for something to chew. She is a sweet girl!



We are so glad to have Granny here for a visit. Evelyn and Granny made cupcakes today to celebrate many things - Granny's birthday last month, Emma cat's 9th birthday yesterday...Evelyn enjoyed the process.


This rocking dog is a hand me down from the neighbors, Marianne likes riding backwards.


Here is a family photo after the 4th of July parade yesterday. Evelyn rode her tricycle this year and again enjoyed parading.

Having Fun with the Neighbors

Evelyn helped the neighbors wash their car on Saturday morning. The kids had a great time. Recently, some of our friends had their grandchildren come to visit. Their little boy is 3, a little older than Evelyn. He is very polite, and he asked her "What is your name?" Evelyn looked at him and replied in a serious voice, "I can't tell you that right now."

Jumping

Marianne enjoys her jumperoo! We had some college students to dinner tonight, and she was a happy happy girl, jumping and jumping while we ate dinner. Evelyn is still very maternal these days - one of her latest concerns is that Marianne will not take a pacifier. She told Marianne: "Stop putting your fingers in your mouth, or I'll keep shoving the pacifier in there." Hmm.

Here are her 4 months stats from the doctor last week:
13 lbs 14oz, 25.5" tall
