Scarlett: 5 months!

Hi all! We have a lot to share since our last blog post! Scarlett is 5 months old and such a fun little lady.  She's scooting across the floor (backwards mind you), reaching for Jeremy and I, jumping and playing in her exersaucer, petting and grabbing Hazel, and putting EVERYTHING in her mouth!

She healed up from her first ear infection (brutal on her parents!) just in time for our vacation.We just returned home from 10 days on the big island of Hawaii with our friends Morgan (Jer's friend since 2nd grade!), Kennon, and their 4 month old Harper. It was WONDERFUL!

Scarlett also quit nursing on me in Hawaii (this little baby has a mind of her own!) so I'm in the process of weaning her off breastmilk. After picking her up from daycare on Wednesday, we were told that she cried hysterically during lunchtime when the other three babies got food and she only was given a bottle. So we started on rice cereal that very day and she and LOVED it!  Also got a chance to puree and freeze some homemade baby food today. We are all set for November when S can start eating veggies and fruits. Yum!

I return to work on November 1st, so I'm wrapping up my final few weeks at home and starting to put Scarlett in daycare a few days a week now as I plan curriculum for school. We have one more little treat as Peg and Jeremy were honored with the Top 1% award through Coldwell Banker, so they are being rewarded with a few nights down at Bernardus in Carmel (our babymoon destination!) at the end of October, and of course Cliffy, Scarlett and I get to tag along and enjoy as well :)


I'll leave you with a few photos from Scarlett's 4 month photo session.
Happy fall everyone! Lots of Love to you all!
