5 Months

April 20, 2013

I have absolutely loved the last 5 months being your mommy. You are continuing to make it very easy for your daddy and me to be parents. We are so blessed to have you.

It is so much fun to watch you grow. You are trying so hard to lift your head and sit up. When you are in your car seat, you try to lift up to get out. It is so cute to watch you try so hard.

You are still doing great commuting to Locust Grove with me every day (not much longer until we are done doing that! YEAH!!). You really love being at Aunt Brittany’s and seeing your cousins, Annistyn and Mackenzie, every day. Aunt Brittany says you just sit and stare at Annistyn all day. You usually wake up when I get you out of the car in the morning and I absolutely love the few extra minutes I get to spend with you. You are all smiles when you wake up.

One of my favorite things so far has been listening to your laugh. You are a little ticklish so that gets you laughing and you also love when we make silly noises. Whenever we try to videotape you laughing though you immediately stop once you see the camera.

You are getting more and more flexible and you are trying to get your toes to your mouth ~ you like to see if everything can go in your mouth! You have started sucking your two fingers like your daddy used to. You are still not a fan of a pacifier.

You have tried rice cereal, and you don’t seem to mind it but you are a little impatient at trying to eat it off a spoon. We make you take a few bites, but then you get annoyed that you are not able to eat fast enough so we finish it off in the bottle. You have always enjoyed sitting at the table with us while we ate dinner, and now you are sitting in your high chair. You seem to like being higher up.

One of your favorite things is being lifted up in the air. We know it is going to get us an automatic smile!
