Fives All Around

On the 14th of this month numbered FIVE, we celebrate two important FIVES!

Happy birthday number FIVE to my one and only niece, Hannah.  I can't believe it's been FIVE years since I held your little FIVE pound body next to mine. 

Hannah Noel- 1 week old!

We love being an Auntie and Uncle to this girl

One and some change

 She gets cuter each year!


Visit to Auntie and Uncle's house!  Two

OCNJ- Three

Christmas- Four

I am so happy to live 20 minutes from my niece to see her grow into such a lovely girl.  She is a great big cousin to Evie and Braylen.  Happy Birthday Hannah!

The other important FIVE is Braylen is FIVE months old!! 


 Our 16.5 pounder is filling up more surface area on the giraffe each month

Braylen at 1 month

When you are only FIVE months old, there are a lot of firsts.  Here are some of his firsts this month-

Hair Trim

"solid" food

Exersaucer

Swing ride at my new favorite playground

Braylen is doing a great job with his rolling.  He can roll both ways and likes to practice the most at night while the rest of the house wants to be is sleeping.  He gets stronger each time we put him in the exersaucer and he discovers what to do with the toys.

Much improved posture in the exersaucer

Superbaby!  He has on his Superman shirt too. 

Sleep?  Eh, we're still working on it.  We think swaddling his bottom half is still needed.  He gave me the best Mother's Day gift- only calling me out of bed ONCE!  The last time he did that was my birthday.  Well, maybe not that long, but it sure feels like I've been up every 3 hours for months.

We have a thumb sucker!  Welcome to the club

Braylen was Mr. Serious this weekend.   Must be teeth :)

Don't mess with him while he is watching golf

The newborn days are over (except in the sleep department...)!  I am excited about the next stage of Braylen's life.

Yay for the FIVES! How exciting that Braylen is another month older. That boppy- Lady's Man shot is hilarious! Thanks for the recap on my Hannah and her birthday wishes. Those five years went by so quickly. How fabulous to spend the last three and a half years close together :)

High five on the Mother's Day sleep! Braylen is such a cutie. That very last photo/caption combination was solid gold. Love it!

P.S. I am totally stealing your monthly giraffe-mat idea once our babe joins the family. :)

Cute post! I was just looking bag at my blog and 5 months is when Kellen started just getting up once a night to eat real quick. Hope that stays the case for you!
