FiVe MoNtHs!

Today, Nova turns
+5 months old.
It's hard to believe - #1, that she's already that big, and #2, that she's only that small.
What an amazing girl.

+Back up

Nova is definitely becoming more coordinated with her little chub hands.
She reaches for things that you hold out to her, and soon, should start reaching for us to pick her up (can't wait!).
She can even hold her bottle these days. She can't quite tip it up to get the formula out, but she's well on her way!

+Just for fun,

we gave her a sippy cup with a little formula in it to see what she'd do:

She liked it - though she wasn't too sure what to do with it. :)

We had a fun little time with dad 

+Exercising...

Getting strong!

She really does take her own little steps. :)

Cupcake Butt!

On 
+Thursday, 
we had some visitors:
Uncle Ry, Aunt Han, and Great Granny all came to see the babe (and mom...)

+Some Random Fun Stuff

Nova likes to read.

She loves her Exersaucer - and it slowly figuring out how to turn around in it!

She enjoys a frog leg now and then:

And she loves to watch TV. Even though we don't really let her, when we have it on it's nearly impossible to keep her eyes away from it.
Observe - the TV is up on the wall behind her - 

+Girls Night
Every year, Earl May has a "Girl's Night," where they serve food and drinks and have a plant sale. Nana Nea always goes with her friend Lisa, and on Friday, Mom and Nova went along!

Here Nova finally got to see Nana Nea's best friend Lisa, and meet her niece, Sam :)

Poppy J - you aren't a girl...

+This morning,

 Mom and Dad got up early to go to some garage sales and treasure hunt. 

Grandma Deb came over to spend time and watch the babe!

(that's a puzzle that Nana Nea found at a sale - Nova loves it!)

Happy 5 Months, my big little girl. :)
