What Hardy Likes: Baby Einstein videos, especially

Baby Noah. I think Hardy is going to have a love

because he loves the fake animals, but as

soon as the real ones come on he screams.

What Hardy Dislikes: Hardy does not like being

left in a room by himself and he will be sure

to let you know it. He has become very

aware of when you come and go.

Best Moment of the Month: Hardy's first Halloween!

What a treat! He was the cutest landshark I've ever seen!

5 Month Highlights:

You have finally rolled over!! YAY!! On October 18th, you rolled

from your tummy to your back. I was making the bed, and I looked

over and there you were laying on your back! On October 26th,

you rolled from your back to your tummy when you were

playing on your activity mat. I actually caught it on video,

and you were so proud of yourself!

You love your feet, and you finally figured out

how to put them in your mouth. I find you sucking

on those toes all the time!

If anything is in arm's reach, you will reach for it

and pick it up. First you inspect it, and then it

instantly goes in your mouth...even Emmy's tail.

Speaking of Emmy, you have become

much more aware of her. You love to

touch and grab a handful of hair!

You are becoming much more expressive

in your emotions. You give us the greatest

laughs, but you also let us know when

you are not happy! You have become rather vocal.

You love when I sing to you! If you are getting

fussy, all I have to do is start singing and

you begin smiling. "If you're happy and you

know it" is becoming a favorite of yours.

You are growing so fast, especially in length.

My guess is that you are going to be

tall just like your Daddy.

You become extremely animated

when I lay you on the changing table to

get ready for bed. Your whole body starts

moving from head to toe and you just jabber away!

One of my favorite parts of the day is waking

you up in the morning. You get the biggest smile

on your face when you see me. It just melts my heart!

I also love your dream feed at night. I am going to

miss this time with you so much. You are incredibly

sweet and cuddly. You quickly fall back to sleep in my

arms, and I have the hardest time putting you down.

I often call up Daddy to come see you, and we just

stare at you for a while because you are so precious.

We love you so much Hardy! You are our little sunshine!
