5 Months on the way to 6!


I have been taking lots of photos of you, just not posting them as often, so here is a bunch!


Hodgson Family Vacation was the weekend of August 12-14. Here you are chillin' in your carseat when we got to the park to go boating:
Then chillin' (sleeping) with mommy (and I was jealous):
Chillin' with dad at Grandma and Grandpa's:

At home looking too cute before you came with me to the Mommy and Me movie showtime of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt 2:

Sitting with Grandma Laura at iHop, teething on a spoon which kept you occupied for about 20 mintues!
Just sweetness, I couldn't help but take a picture:
Went to the Point Defiance Zoo on August 20th. Here you are with Grandma Laura again:
And we bought you this TOO cute hat!

You had a lot of firsts this month. Like first time eating mashed bananas in rice cereal! You gagged on the plain rice cereal, but made little sounds of joy when we put the banana in and you grubbed!


Here you are sitting with your big sissy who you adore. Here you are watching Thomas the choo choo train:

You LOVE this dog. Well, all dogs, but especially this dog. You are always smiling and laughing at her, and here you are trying to grab her (and succeeding):



You also had some formula for the first time and you even held your own bottle, just like that!

You are working on sitting up on your own too. You still like to collapse forward, but you're getting stronger all the time!


Teething, teething, teething. You also had your first tooth come through, your bottom left, with your bottom right coming in too. I gave you an apple slice and after a moment of experimentation you liked to suck on it and rub your gums on it!
You are getting really close to crawling. You can scoot yourself backwards and turn yourself in complete 180s or more. You'll get up on your hands really strong, then go down and get up on your knees, and it won't be long before you do both!

Your stranger anxiety got pretty high this month, so I had to take you with me practically everywhere, and now it is coming and going. As long as I am holding you, or daddy, you'll smile at anyone and everyone though!

We love you so much! You are precious!

You are SUCH a good baby and just chill and play (or sleep) while we're at the barn (most of the time):
And then you get your turn to ride! Here is you with Grandma Laura on Chip:

And then riding Lilly with mommy:
