Lets do a brief recap of last month. My birthday. I have to say, Vivian is the best birthday present I could ever receive. Turning 33 has been my best birthday yet!
Brian had to attend a conference in Hilton Head Halloween week and of course he had to miss his time with Vivian. He was planning on returning on that following Sunday, but we guilted him to come home on Saturday night. How could you not when I kept messaging adorable pictures of our sweet baby girl.

About two months ago I ordered her felt Christmas stocking to start making. My Mom made one for my brother and I. Brian and I made one for each other so I wanted to keep the tradition on making one for Vivian.
I finished a large portion of the stocking myself. Everything minus the Poinsettia's, a Christmas present, some sequins, leaves, her name and the back of the stocking. Okay, sounds like I didn't do much, but really did.

| I did finish the tree myself. |
My Mom came to the rescue and finished Vivian's stocking. I'm so glad she did! One, I don't think I would have finished by Thanksgiving and two, I'm happy Vivian will have something that her Memom helped make for her.

| Finished product!! |
I can't wait for when she's older to dump out all her candy from Santa. I loved it when I was kid and hope she will as well.
We love our pj's! We stay in them all day long. I have a closet full of clothes for her, but doesn't wear because we never leave the house and just stay in jammies. Plus, why have something binding and uncomfortable for her. Yes, baby girl clothes are adorable but just not practical in my opinion. If she wore a little dress or jeans all day long, she wouldn't be able to do her favorite thing...hold her little footsies.

We also still love our mat time. A definite morning and afternoon routine.

| Got these jammies on sale, but similar here |
We are still working on tummy time, but we have our eye and hand coordination down pat! Its so cute seeing her spread her little finger to hold a little ball or toy.
She even can reach out for a toy while doing tummy time.
Her favorite thing to do is stand on her feet. I think she won't crawl long and go straight to walking. It will be so cute when she's running around. Can't wait!!
 |
| Can't handle the cuteness!!!!! |
I can't believe she's almost 5 months old and then next month she'll be 6 months!! I have to say, I'm looking forward to her 1/2 birthday. That's when we will start on solids.

I was thinking that I was going to have her first solid to be butternut squash, but I think I may start her off on sweet potatoes. I bought the book Wholesome Baby Food Guide and sweet potato was a suggestion. Chopped full of vitamins and plus, breast milk is sweet so why not start her off on what she's use too.
That day will be a fun time!
One last random. I am so ready to do our family Christmas card!

Yes, we are THAT family! I think it will be super cute and I'm glad Brian is on board :)
