Just A 'Happy 5 Months Old' Bekah Celebratory Hike.. Or Something Like That

Today Bekah is 5 months old! Yay! Can't believe she was born 5 months ago, but she definitely is getting bigger and learning new things pretty much everyday!

We also went for a bit of a hike this evening! Here are some pictures...
Bekah held on to that flower almost the entire hike!

My arch-nemesis of Saskatchewan ..(that and obnoxious Rider Fans :P)

Posing in the sand dunes

Just A Giggly Little Gal

 

These days we often put Bekah in her Jolly Jumper while we're eating supper. It seems to keep her content longer then if she is just on the floor, in her bumbo, or in a bouncy chair. On this particular day she was just bouncing along..*boing boing* when out of a sudden I had to cough *cough cough* I thought I heard a faint little giggle, so I "coughed" again...This is the result!
