Spring Day

It was a day perfect for swinging in the back yard. Yippee for spring weather and bubbles!

Bath Chair

Bye bye baby bath tub - hello little tub chair. Bye bye baby bath towels - hello big girl towel. The theme of this month for Hosanna: just like Micah and Elisha.

Rice Cereal

We always try to make it to 6 months on just breast milk, but have yet to be successful. So, rice cereal at 5 1/2 months it is. Hosanna doesn't seem to mind, in fact, I think she likes it!

5 Month Firsts

Within a week of turning 5 months old, Hosanna decided to be a big girl. She is sitting up unassisted, wiggling her way to new destinations on the floor (like Elisha's potty), and sitting in the high chair, the stroller and the baby swings at the park. Take a look!

Micah and Elisha were wanting to paint. So they sat at the table. I put Hosanna in the high chair and she started squealing. She knew she was going to be right in the middle of the action and was so pleased!


Being in the stroller right by the swings at the park was not good enough. Hosanna started fussing. I asked her if she wanted to swing, too, and she smiled knowingly. (I thought I was crazy, too, believe me!) When I put her in the swing, she was happy, happy, happy. Five months is way too early to want to do what everyone else is doing - way too early!

Party Girl

Saturday, March 6th was quite the party day. Hosanna got all dressed up! The Mooney girls went to a Teddy Bear Tea with Nana. Later that day, our family went to Beth's 16th surprise birthday party. Hosanna enjoyed the live band, all the people and the center pieces made out of red, sparkly shredded stuff. What a fun, action-packed day for a four month old!
