5 months old and 1st Easter

Over Easter weekend Grandma and Grandpa Quirk came for a visit.  It was great having them here to celebrate Mari's 1st Easter and my 30th Birthday.  Yes, I am now in my thirties.  We decided to take some 5 month pictures of Mari.  For the most part she did very good.  Here are a lot of our favorites.  

Mari loves to look at herself in the mirror.

Here are some of her 5 month pictures.  

A good shot of her teeth.  We think she is working on some on the top now.  Not much fun.

What a beautiful girl, but she can be stubborn when the camera is pointing at her.  She smiles up until it is time for a picture.

Of course she wants to chew on everything and that means her dress. 

She is getting to be a chunky monkey.  

Her favorite thing to do is scoot around on the top of her head, which looks like she is doing a back bend.  We might have a gymnast.

Ready for spring.

Mari was much more interested in the grass than her gifts.

At church on Easter Sunday.

We finally got a recent family photo.  

What we have been up to!!

So let's see Mari has got her second tooth and I can tell you they hurt.  We started rice cereal, but that was not her cup of tea.  She gagged and cried at the sight of the spoon.  So we decided to try oatmeal and that is much better.  She doesn't beg for it, but will eat it.  She has started rolling over from her belly to her back for the past few weeks.  Just recently she has conquered rolling from her back to her belly.  She started this in her crib at night so of course we didn't see it for about a week.  Then last night we had some friends over and we all got to witness it.  It is so great to see her getting so big but it is going so quick.  We have a very busy month ahead of us with lots of family and we can't wait.  Grandma and Grandpa Quirk are coming for Easter and oh yeah my 30th birthday :(.  It will be great seeing them again.  Then after the mountain closes we will be going to Marco Island with Grandma and Grandpa Nienhouse.  We can't wait for some warm weather and lots of swimming.  I'm curious if she will like the ocean, I know I don't care for salt water.  Then lastly Sarah and Liam are coming out at the end of the month.  I can't wait to hang out with my sis and of course kiss on my nephew.  We will have our hands full with 2 babies on the move.  This is an exciting month and I can't wait to see what Mari will do next.  We love and miss you all and can't wait to see you all soon.
