Josiah - Five Months

Josiah turned five months old on Valentine's Day!

Chillin.' (We think it's cute that he always crosses his ankles when he's reclining.)

Little bright eyes 

These letters that Mimi and Papa got my sister for Christmas are great for taking pictures too.  

Making Valentines

Now that the goods have been delivered to their recipients (only 2 days late), I can post pics of the creative process.

She's half Beam and therefore can't concentrate
without her tongue sticking out. 

Once I introduced her to the concept of painting her palms to
make handprints on the Valentines, she figured "go big or go home"
and proceeded to paint her arms as well.

The finished product

Bumbo Boy

We borrowed a Bumbo seat from our friends the Parkers last week. It is changing Josiah's life. :) 

In our back yard this morning...

Beautiful!

Mascara Mess

It was reeeaaalllly quiet while I was feeding Josiah the other morning. I found Lorien in the bathroom looking like this. She has gotten quite adept at unscrewing lids from everything lately, including mommy's mascara.

I dare you to not smile
