Thanksgiving!

Danielle's first Thanksgivingwas filled with adventures...adventures that wore her out for the week following. :)

We were blessed to have family in town for Thanksgiving. Maeta and Zofie had their first slumber party at Auntie Mel's & Uncle Nate's. While here, they entertained Danielle, chased a turkey (not a live one), drew the world's largest Christmas tree, complete with a LARGE snowman ornament, read stories with Grandpa Luepke, played games with Grandma Luepke, and much, much more. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Danielle is a ton of fun. Smiles, laughter, silly sounds, new discover, and so much more make up our days. She loves her exersaucer and discovers something new every day. Rolling over is second nature now. Food?!?!? She is still not too sure about that, but continues to put up with the new experiences.

So much fun!

5 months old

Danielle is moving quite a bit these days. In her 5th month, she started rolling over, she is able to hold herself in a sitting position and plays with her toys, she loves paper (as you can see by these photos), and she is very entertained by children. She continues to be a happy baby with rarely a tear to be seen. :) She giggles, coos, is "singing", and much more! We continue to thank God for our little girl - a precious child of God!

Let's Swing!

The past few days have been beautiful in Indy. Danielle took advantage of the warm, sunny weather and headed to our neighborhood playground. She is now big enough to be in the baby swing. She LOVED it! She was all smiles and coos. It was fun to watch her discover what it feels like to swing in the air.
