G&G's

Great-grandma and great-grandpa Rockwood have the best backyard in the entire world.

See?  It makes everyone happy.

Father's Day

Kurt had his first Father's Day as a dad!  Aren't they cute together?

 

 

 

Hattie and I made this card:

 

 

And attached it to a basket full of 'pop'.  Soda pop, pop corn, pop tarts, and even a push pop.  Maybe it's a little cheesy, but I've decided I like a little cheese :)  Especially when it comes to making things for people!

 

 

Hattie is so lucky to have Kurt as her father!  He loves her so much and is willing to do anything for her- whether it's put her down for a nap, change a stinky diaper, or get up with her in the middle of the night.  He always helps with bath time and loves to play with her most of all!  This is just the beginning and I know that Kurt will continue to grow as a father and become an even greater man!  We love him so!  Thanks for everything you do!



Splish splash!

Hattie loves bath time these days.  She likes to wiggle her arms and legs around making the water move and splash.  Every time we put her in the water she's unsure for a minute or two.  She opens her eyes wide, sometimes sucks in a startled breath, and will stare at me.  Then she remembers that water + soap = fun!

Rice Cereal

Hattie had her first taste of 'solid' food.  Well, food that isn't milk, water, or medicine. 

In the high chair:

First bite!

Most of it came out...

 

 

 

She liked the spoon!

 

Deciding

The verdict is in!  It's gross.

5 months

As already posted- Hattie is a rolling champ!  She just keeps going until she hits a wall or another obstacle.  Sometimes she gets upset because her path is blocked- I tell her to roll the other way!  She forgets she can do that.  So I pick her up and move her to a more central location and then she'll keep rolling in the same direction.  I went back to work this past month!  Hattie is still doing amazing at daycare and having lots of fun with Moppy (who likes to buy Hattie new outfits and even get things for me and Kurt- it's awesome!  We love Mom/Moppy!).  It's easier to put her to sleep.  It used to be a battle most nights (why do babies fight sleep?) but now we wrap her up and rock her to sleep.  'Rock' is a very important word in that sentence.  We don't have to bounce her to sleep on the exercise ball anymore (although that still works too).  Hattie is very interested in anything that Kurt or I hold in our hands.  Especially cups/glasses (see below).  If you don't keep your beverage out of reach while holding her she'll pull it out of your hands.  She will also grab silverware so eating while holding her is even more difficult.  She's definitely growing- Hattie started wearing 6 month size clothes! 

First time on grass.  She seemed ok with it.  She didn't cry or fuss at all, just stayed very still!

5 month photo shoot:

She looks so big in this picture!

She can sit up for a couple seconds all on her own.  This was a carefully timed photo!

She doesn't like smiling for the camera, but if I take the camera away from my face Hattie will smile at me!  So this picture was taken without me looking :)

Toes!

Cousins!

All of the Biehl cousins:

 And the Roth cousins!

Rolling

Hattie is a rolling champ! She just keeps going until some obstacle stops her!  It amazes me how far she can get.

 

 

 

 

 

She's also very expressive!
