Maizy is now five and a half months old. Her personality shines through more and more each day. She really is a sweet, fun, smiley girl. It's been so much fun so watch her grow and become more explorative in these last few weeks.
When Maizy was just under 2 months old, she had really good neck control, and her pediatrician told us that she was ready for a jumperoo type activity center. I bought one for $25.00 off of Craigslist to be sure she would like it before we spent a small fortune on a new one. At 2 months, she was much too small, and wobbly to be in it unattended. We actually sewed some extra padding together and added it to the front, but she did like it. One of us would sit right in front of her for 2-3 minutes, until she was ready to come out. Now, at over 5 months, I don't know what we would do without it! She loves this thing, and would bounce for hours on end if we would let her.
Maizy is sitting up pretty well, has no interest in crawling, babbles and talks nonstop, loves to be outside, and really loves stroller and bike rides. Aaron takes her for a ride in her bike trailer every day, (weather permitting) and she sings, squeals, and chats the whole time. She is getting really chunky, still has very little hair, and is still the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
The local newspaper wrote a story about Maizy's journey for Mother's Day:

Lady L and her family are doind well, and are excited to spend some extra time together camping this summer. They really are a terrific family.
I'll add a few pictures from this last month:
