Five Months Old!!!

Sweet baby - you are FIVE months old!!!!

I'm not totally sure - but you weigh close to 13 lbs.

You wear a size 2 diaper and 3-6 months clothes and some 6 months.

Your schedule has been a little off lately because I have to wake you up at 8:30 to leave for preschool and again at 11:30 to pick up your big brother. You have been napping from 9:45 or 10 to 11:30 and again in the afternoon usually from 1:30 to 3:30 or 4. You get tired again about 7 or 7:30 so I let you go to sleep but you wake up again about 9 and are usually up then for about an hour after you eat. You still sleep from about 10pm to 6am every night which is wonderful!

You are just such a happy girl! God has truly blessed us! You wake up cooing and babbling and get the biggest smile on your face when we come to get you. It still melts my heart. Although you still like to make people think Mommy is lying when we go places sometimes. I do think you just don't like being out of your normal schedule.

You are always rolling from your back to your front but you still kind of get stuck on your belly! It makes you mad! You have started to enjoy tummy time a little more though and we can tell you are building more upper body strength now too.

You are usually pretty content to lay in your activity mat or sit in the bouncy chair when you aren't being held. Your brother and sister make you laugh a lot. :) You love it when you get two handfuls of Mommy's hair when I am playing with you.

On crazy days when your older brother and sister are out of sorts you seem to be the most calm of the three of you. It is so rare that you are upset unless you are tired, hungry or gassy.

You are pure joy! You are SO loved! I can't believe you are almost half a year old!
