Genevieve is 5 months old and smiley as ever! Besides having an insanely large number of diaper explosions and one awful car trip resulting in a total of 8 stops on the side of the road, it has been a great month.

She can officially move forward, backward, and around in circles on the floor and she loves her exersaucer and her jumper (neither of which is reducing the size of her chubby baby thighs!). Due to her refusal to drink from a bottle, we started her on cereal a couple weeks ago. She does pretty well with it, but still prefers to be with mom 24/7 in case hunger strikes.

The boys continue to be roughly affectionate with her, which makes me nervous, but I often notice that she has a smile on her face, even as I am pulling them off her. I know she’ll be running around, climbing, and “body-slamming” with them in no time. 🙂

We really couldn’t be happier with this little peanut.
