Five Months

I wanted to do a post a few weeks ago of just pictures, but never had time or the computer. Be prepared to be picture overloaded. We have had a lot going on. First, we've had some visitors in the last few weeks. Shane's grandparents moved from Tennessee to Idaho Falls. I had never met them, and Shane hadn't seen them since he was about 15. It's been fun to visit with them, and Makoy is smitten with them. He is always talking about Grandma and Grandpa Payne. Also, Shane's sister, Lisa and her kids are here from Japan. They are not sure how long they will be visiting. They took a volunteer evacuation until things get a little more settled there. We are glad they are safe and able to visit for a while. Also, Channing turned five months old on the 10th. She is growing so big, so fast. I can't remember what life was like before her. She is so much fun! She is seriously obsessed with Makoy. All he has to do is walk by her and she will scream and giggle. It's so cute. She can sit up on her own now. She does pretty good. She has been doing it for up to ten minutes before she'll start to tip over. She refuses to roll over though. I've even caught her start to do it, but then she will stop. She's a strong girl, so I know it will be no time before she's doing that as well. She's definitely opinionated already and she is not going to do what she doesn't want to. She grabs EVERYTHING in sight. If I'm sitting on one couch and the remote is on the other (across the room) she will just full on lunge for it. She thinks she can grab anything, no matter how far. Makoy was never a grabby baby like this, so I'm slowly learning I can't have anything in sight while holding her. Her favorite thing to grab and chew is still my hair. Lets hope she will get over that soon. Enjoy the picture fest!


First time meeting Grandma and Grandpa Payne

Makoy chatting with Grandpa Payne
Channing and Aunt Lisa

Big girl sitting up. "Look Ma, no hands!"

Sitting up and of course putting a toy in her mouth

I think she's proud of herself

She looks a little scared here


Is it just me, or does she look like Droopy that cartoon dog?


Staring at her brother, wishing she could play like him.

She always does this with her tongue along her gums.
Makoy wanted to rock her to sleep. I told him she wouldn't sleep. As you can see, I was wrong.

She was "talking" so loud and giving him loves. They sure do love eachother.
I was in the middle of getting her ready the other day when Makoy grabbed her and started tackling her. To my surprise she loved it! They do it daily now. I love this picture! Her crazy hair makes it even better.

My sweeties

Her second favorite thing, other than her brother, her toes.
"I wish I could get these things to come off"



I didn't think it was possible for her face to look chubbier. Wrong! :)



Pigtails out
What's a post without a picture of her wild hair?

Giving her toy hippo "Happy" some love

I love this little crooked smile

Happy baby
Lovin tubby time

She was saying"ahhh." Even though she wasn't officially saying a word, it was hilarious.

I watch a little girl, Bristal every Tuesday. They were cuddled up together. Since they were sleeping in my bed, I was forced to take a nap too. Bummer
