5 Months


This little Santa baby is 5 months old (actually turning 6 months old tomorrow)!  I am really squeaking this update in at the last minute!  We are just having too much fun over here and there isn't enough time in the day for all of our play time and blog updates.

During Lucy's 5th month we celebrated her first Thanksgiving and Nana and Papa came for a visit.  She can roll in every direction, find and put her paci in her mouth, and is finding a real interest in her toys.  This girl loves her big brother, momma's milk, and a nice soft blanket to chew on.  The Cruse Crew couldn't be any more smitten by her chubby cheeks and constant smiles.
  • Stats - 15 lbs and length is unknown.  Unlike her brother at this age, she stays healthy and out of the doctor's office so we don't get her measurements taken monthly. 
  • Sleep - Remember how I mentioned at her 4 month update that she had only slept through the night 3 whole times?  Well, she's still only slept through the night 3 whole times!  She is a momma's girl and she isn't afraid to show it....at 12:00 am....and 3:00 am.  Knowing first hand how fast babies grow, I can't say that I don't look forward to some of those snuggles in the middle of the night.
  • Eat - Still a lover of Mommy's milk.  She has tried cereal a couple of times which causes her whole body to shudder.  Poor girl is not a fan!

Calvin's newest version of "SMILE!"

Calvin has been busy working on his football/punting skills, playing outside, and getting ready for Santa to visit!


Blueberry pancakes are his favorite!


First train ride!




First school picture and they learned very quickly that this kid does not smile for strangers!

We also had family photos taken this month.  Taking Calvin to the same park for pictures that he goes to for playing football and running around did not turn out to be the best idea.  Lesson learned.
