5 Months Old!

Maarika turned 5 months old! She is eating rice cereal two times a day.  I have to use two spoons to feed her because she insists on taking the spoon out of my hand and feeding herself so I keep another handy to keep the process going.  I took her to see the animals at Goebbert's Farm. She got super close to a big mama giraffe and a baby giraffe too! She especially liked the pygmy goats. 

Daddy got Maarika to laugh and it was so adorable! She loves making screeching sounds and is constantly smiling.  She likes bathtime too.  She loves watching Sesame Street clips on YouTube.  Her favorite is Elmo had four ducks. Her cute little feet already are getting tiny stink toes when she wears her footy pajamas.  She puts everything in her mouth these days. 

Here's her favorite video~

4.5 months old

Okay, so I'm a crappy parent just starting this blog now. Actually I started it when I was three months pregnant and didn't keep it up. My resolution is to keep this up for as long as I can. Maarika is four and a half months old now. She is extremely cute (not biased at all) and she is very alert and aware. She loves Elmo. I'm sure I have something to do with that. And she has started to laugh out loud! It's adorable!!! Her hair is still crazy, but we love it. She likes watching sports with her dad-especially baseball. Then again, I could just as easily say she likes watching Jersey Shore. She also loves Bave, the cat. She is totally mesmerized by her tail and loves it when Bave smooshes her head against her hair. Her favorite toy is a talking/singing plastic camera that has lots of buttons and spinny things. Maarika just started eating rice cereal and she's pretty good at it already. She's just awesome.
