5 months old!

Yesterday, Willa turned 5 months old! She already has a tiny bit of her first tooth coming in. It is SO sharp! But luckily, the teething process isn't too bad thus far. And she is growing some cute fuzz on her head these days. She is also able to sit up on her own for about a minute before she leans too far to one side or decides to push off and go forward. And just today, I have noticed that when I put her down on her tummy, she stays up in the crawling position for a second or two before resuming her typical tummy on the ground position with arms and legs in the air like a HALO jumper. She is such a sweet baby and has a silly personality. It is so fun for us to see how many people she makes happy and laugh at her funny faces and noises. We love you, Willa! You are such a blessing to your mommy and daddy.

Eatin' my sign! It made such great noises!
Gimme me that camera!

What was left of the sign...


I'm outta here...
(don't worry, my mom was right there to catch her if she was near rolling off the couch)

This started out as a cute one, but quickly turned into Willa needing to chew her blankie.


Go Cowboys!
One of my favorites!
With Aunt Lucia and Marcello...it was close to bedtime, so smiling was out of the question.

A quick *sniff* comparison...
