our fifth month!

five months, baby girl

each month i say i can hardly believe it, but your little first year is flying by.

this month has gone by the fastest so far

(which is why i'm just now getting these pictures up!)

you are doing so many special things now.

so many that every single day is different and new.

right around your 5 month birthday, you started this funny little grunt.

you do it when you are wet, bored, hungry, going to the bathroom, etc.

it's hilarious.

you are slowly starting to fit into 3-6 month clothing.

you're a petite little thing!

and you're an eater!

you nurse 5-6 times a day but you usually get the job done in under 15 minutes.

you're eating a little bit of cereal but you don't think it's a big deal.

no rush.

you recognize more people now - chelle, papa d, gigi and papa jim

you also love your aunts and uncles and your cousin lillian.

 they always make you smile!

and of course, i have to mention

charlie loves you and you love charlie.

he comes straight to you when he comes in from outside.

and you always (eww) put your hands down for him to kiss you.

you're even starting to reach for him and bailey!

so sweet.

you've gotten really good at going out for dinner. we have only done it a few times - it's usually around your bedtime.

you are so well behaved and mama and daddy always get compliments on how sweet you are!

you like to play in your jumperoo bouncer. it is one of your favorite toys.

but you also are still in love with your violet leap frog toy. you light up when she sings to you!

you also like to chew on your sophie and a few different lamaze toys.

you are mostly sleeping from 7:00 to 5:30. you are funny, right around 6:30 you let us know you are ready for bed.

you are rolling over - every morning you roll over on your back and stare at the monitor with those beautiful blue eyes. it makes me laugh each time.

you also scoot yourself around. when you are on the play mat, you scoot your bottom down.

you are almost sitting up, too. when we practice you lean forward and try to face plant.

but you push up very nicely from your tummy!

we are so beyond thankful for your growth and your health, precious one.
