Happy Five Months, Milla!

Good morning, Milla--you're five months old today! She's so happy when she wakes up . . . and has almost outgrown her Stokke bassinet!

Milla is five months today and at this point in her young life, she mainly wants to move. Put her down on one side of the room, and she'll roll her way to the other if you're not careful, especially if there's an interesting toy on the other side. Anja's alligator pull-toy looked awfully intriguing the other day so I moved it behind the coffee table. Sure enough, a couple of minutes later, she had found it again. Something tells me we're going to be doing some quick baby-proofing in the new house in two (!) weeks!

Much to her sister's displeasure Milla is also using her voice a lot more. Only a mama and papa (and the grandparents of course) can appreciate the shrieks and shrills of their babies!

Time for something new . . . Milla got to ride in the swings for the first time today.

Her exploration of solids is going well . . . she's not getting too much down but I guess that's not the point. Soon enough she'll be eating like a champ. Today her Stokke high chair arrived, so we were able to put it right to use.

Erik and our girls with the newly assembled Stokke Tripp Trapp (the best!).



Anja is excited to have someone to sit by during meals. Although she was a little less excited every time Milla grabbed her! This is the start of something--we just know it.

Much like her sister was, Milla is a wonderful baby. She's happy, healthy and a little joy to have in our lives.
