5 Months Old

Our little girl is Five Months Old now.

I think I've said it on every monthly post and I'll probably continue to say it on every one after this- time really does fly.

She's growing so quickly. She's so, so smart already. I'm loving every second of watching her grow. It's simply amazing to watch her figure out something new. You can just look at her and see the wheels in her head turning.

I feel like from 4 to 5 months has been one of the biggest growth jumps yet. She's changed so much since she was born, duh, but I (and everyone who is around her for that matter) can really see the changes.

I'd also like to mention that these pictures are becoming harder and harder to take. We only have the one picture in her "5 Months" onsie due to the fact we had a little drool mishap. AND she's a little wiggle worm- all over the place... tapping her legs up and down, putting her feet in her mouth, rolling side to side... it's eventful :)

Mini Road Trip - Brevard Zoo

Joseph & I have a certain love for the zoo. We've been going to different zoos in different cities since we first started dating- it's kind of a thing.

 We now have a new member of the fam that we can interest in going to the zoo too! #heckyes

Saturday morning, she woke up, was happy & chatty and ready to go!

We road tripped it this last weekend over to Brevard County on the coast to the Brevard Zoo. The occasion? Caroline's 1st zoo adventure :)

Granted- she is only 4 months old, so there is only so much that she can appreciate. But, she surprised us with how much interest she showed.

Sunscreen, a portable misting fan, sunglasses and a hat- our girl was prepared. And thank goodness for that because it was a hot one. We went in the morning so we didn't get the heat too bad.. (ha, too bad).. it's Central Florida, it was still pretty hot. Didn't stop us though.

The macaws and the giraffes are what we think to be her favorites. It could have had something to do with their colors, shapes and patterns... just a hunch. With both of the animals she couldn't take her eyes off of them. I really enjoyed watching her face as she was looking at them #mommoment

She wanted to be carried the whole time so she wouldn't miss anything, but if she was in her stroller she was staring at the bright green trees as they would pass by.

It was a good time and a great memory. & she even got a souvenir- her very own meerkat.

 

Caroline's first zoo trip = success.

(PS. can I please make note of that last picture ^^above^^.... Joseph's twin, am I right?!)
