Happy Five Months!

Today is Cecelia's 5 month birthday! i can't believe it, 5 months doesn't sound like a very long time- but it seems like she's been here forever. (in a good way)

here's the birthday girl. she's had a very sleepy day, here she is needing a one of those naps!

here are some funny videos from today:

she's a crazy bird lately.

and this one is just wacky!

some people think she's fishy, but she's just a kid...

Cecelia is a girl of many nicknames already. some more predictable, like Cece or C or CC rider. :). others less so, like Squid.

People seem surprised when we call our beautiful baby girl "Squid" but the story behind such a bizarre nickname is simple- and those who have fed infants can probably relate- She seems to grow extra arms when she's hungry and fed up. while mom seems to lose arms. we have it down a little better now, but for a while at first, daddy had to help get all those squiddy arms out of the way! So it started as she was being an angry squid at dinner time and has just sort of evolved into sleepy squid, happy squid.

she's just our little squid. and we love her.
