cereal

When Brooke was 5 1/2 months we started her on rice cereal. The first day she really wasn't interested (the picture with the red bib) But the next day had more interest and was a little happier about trying it. It still varies day to day if she really wants some of not but we will keep trying it :)

Duck Pond

Chloe still loves the duck pond and we went this past week with a mom and her son from church. Both girls really enjoyed our time there. Brooke seems to love being outside :) Chloe of coarse had tons of fun feeding the ducks and chasing them!

our daily life

We returned to stroller strides when Brooke was 6 weeks old and I returned to teaching once a week when she was 8 weeks. I now have a double stroller for the girls and this past week Brooke converted from being in the carseat to the open stroller. She seems to really enjoy the open stroller much more :). The pineapple I planted shortly after moving into the house started growing the pineapple fruit when Brooke was born and was just harvested a few weeks ago, it was a little small but yummy :)

5 months

Brooke is getting bigger and more interactive these days. She likes the jumperoo now for a few minutes and seems to like the same little fly toy on it Chloe loved as a baby. She is now grabbing at times (like the monthly sign) she has also gotten a few napkins out of the holder she was sitting next to and some grass when we were outside, now comes the fun of keeping track of what she is trying to eat :)
