After Christmas, we traveled to Nashville to have New Year's with family. New Year's Day we traveled 10 hours from White House to Granby, Missouri to spend some time with my (rebecca's) grandparents and extended family there. Most of them had not had the privilege of meeting our sweet Mary Beth and were very excited to get to know her and spend some time with us as well.
Jonathan and I were able to take some time to ourselves in January by taking a weekend trip to a resort in Crossville, TN. Mary Beth got to spend some quality time with Nana, Pa, Aunt Laura, Uncle David, and Ella. She also had a visit from her Aunt Carolee and cousins Madeline and Lily. I think she had fun because she slept straight through the night all 3 nights.
January also brought our first unscheduled doctor's visit. The outcome of that visit? An ear infection in her right ear and pink eye in one eye. Luckily, Mary Beth didn't mind taking antibiotics or having drops put in her eye. Needless to say, that was a LONG week! The following week, we followed up with the doctor with her 4 month round of immunizations. Let me tell you, as a mommy, I was worn out. I was looking forward to having my sweet happy MB back! :)
I guess the last big news from January is that Mary Beth started eating cereal and baby food! So far, we have had all the level 1 veggies and every fruit but prunes and she likes them all! Of course, she likes some more than others. I would say that her favorites are carrots, squash, applesauce, and bananas! Here are a few pictures of our baby food experiences so far.
February was just as eventful! Mary Beth and I took 2 Fridays to meet Nana, Aunt Laura and Ella at Cool Springs mall in Franklin, TN. We had a ball! We joked and said we drove that far to sit in dressing rooms and talk. I think those trips are going to be a monthly tradition!
We also had a visit from Grammy and Granddad one Saturday. Mary Beth enjoyed the chance to get to know them better during the day and I know they enjoyed it just as much!
February ended as January did! Mary Beth got another ear infection and this time it was in her left ear. It was bad enough that she not only had to have antibiotics but ear drops as well. I can honestly say it is not easy putting drops in a 5 month old's ear, especially a wiggle worm like MB!
Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy from the last couple of months!
I know this was a lot to catch you all up on! I am promising now to do much better! I am going to keep this updated more regularly!

I know, it's so hard to keep it updated! I fell so far behind, and I had barely started! But it is a nice way to keep a journal of them growing up!
