Holly's 5 months old

She's getting so big now. Holly takes about 24-32 oz of formula a day now and lots of naps so she's got to be seriously growing. When she's awake she's pretty active, whenever we give her hanging toys to play with she basically smacks away with all arms and legs with rapidity. Oh yeah, and lots of screaming, but it's happy screaming I assure you. Holly was really going to town on it yesterday...had me laughing. When we bottle feed her she starting to grip the bottle, and if she doesn't want it, she bats at it with all arms and legs so you better be holding on. Below I have a YouTube link to all the little movies David has put together (his handle is MrTurtleback). The ones that appear to be an outdoor concert is Bumbershoot in which Holly was 4.5 months old in. All the other ones were spur of the moment and we didn't think to record her age at the time. Our video camera is new so we're still getting used to it. We'll try to remember to attach her age to videos in the future.

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
