Practicing her wave + sunglasses that are already a little too small on the sides, too big on the front.

Our little blond fuzzi-head.
Her new favorite position.

Here's a new expression.

Looking like a big kid.

Likes to sleep on her stomach now.

Sweet little Penelope - this is not caught mid-roll. She just likes to lay on her back.

The little ladies playing together.

"I want to wear this one, Mom."

Fell asleep with the little lamb in her hands. (There are a lot of lambs in her life.)

I just love how Bambi looks like she's conspiring in some big secret. (And I love Scott's shirt.) :)

Proof about that salamander

Sleeping with her lamb.

I just thought this was so cute. She does have a swimming suit. Guess it was too much work to put it on.... (In other drama, off to the right, you see Roxie, who is in a tremendous fix because her bone just fell in the pool and she can't get it out by herself, and Scott is ignoring her.)

So I guess you weren't napping like I thought you were.

Loves rolling over.

So much for making the bed right now.

This is our weekly edition of Summer in her crib with Lamb & Orange.

So here's the salamander that was in our duplex the other night. We caught him in a ice cream bucket. Would have been happy to give him to any kid who wants a new pet.

The crawling sequence....didn't actually get the up on her knees part.

Getting there.

On her five month birthday.

Happy birthday!

I think this is our funniest picture so far. (Notice the difference in skin color. Scott, let me introduce you to sunscreen.)

Summer: Five months

The tiny sweater

*Sigh...backwards order once again for the photos. So here's Summer with a tiny sweater that I knitted. Too small for her. I wanted to take a picture of them together to show how tiny the sweater is, although it doesn't look as small sitting next to her. Anyway, she was in a very mellow mood (just woke up from her nap), so I kept taking pictures.

(This one's my favorite!)

(Stretching the leg...)

Okay, here's the two sweaters together, they were supposed to be a matching set for me and her. Unfortunately, neither of them fits who its for. So....if you know of anyone a little smaller than me, expecting a baby girl, let me know and I'll send them to her. (The little sweater would probably only fit a newborn - 3 months or so....) And, oh, did you get new shoes, Rachel? No, these are my same old flops from a long time ago, thanks for noticing! :)

And again, they're not exactly the same, the big one is more of a "shrug" and the little one is probably waist length or so.

Taking a nap with Orange. I actually took this picture because I was SO HAPPY to see that she was asleep when I went to check on her after a fussy time. My, my.

Getting good at rolling over. Can even get the other arm out and look up like this.

Oh....what do we have here?

Working on getting that other arm out from under her.

Hmmm....how do I get over there to get that pacy?

Hugging her lamb. We took the lamb with us to supper at the Rassi's on Sunday evening ,and she took a very long nap. And later in the evening when she was awake and fussing, we gave her the lamb back, and she settled down. I think they will be fine friends.

Proof that she gets baths every once in a while...for some reason, they're starting be more sporadic.

Tucked in...I was making the bed and I tucked her right in.

Three different outfits, three different days. We seem to play & take pictures in the same places all the time.

Back to feeding herself.

Another day of playing on the bed.
