Five months and counting

Yesterday was Adelaida's five-month-birthday. It was a pretty good day for her -- she wore her prettiest little dress for pictures at school, learned about the color red and practiced wiggling her toes at school, took a long nap in the afternoon, then spent the evening with her Momma and Daddy, who set up her "big girl" highchair at the table and fed her pear, avocado, and broccoli.

She's definitely growing -- I had to adjust her Johnny Jumper to be a bit higher off the ground so she could stand up in it better, and she certainly seems to be getting heavier every time I pick her up!

As part of our birthday anniversary ritual, here are several pictures of Adelaida as she has grown over the past five months. It isn't obvious from the pictures that her body is getting much longer, but her hair is definitely getting longer!

And here's a bonus picture of Adelaida at five months old, sitting up by herself and contemplating the familiar Pink Panther. Adelaida and Pink Panther are alike in many ways: they are both about two feet long, they both have stuff sticking out of their heads (Pink Pather's tag and Adelaida's hair), and they both sit up about equally well (in that they both fall over sometimes when you aren't looking!).
