Barefoot and Busy: Five Months Old

I can’t believe you are five months old, baby girl! Every day you are more aware and interactive than the day before. What a joy it is to see you grow and learn! It is like you learn how to do new things over night! My heart is so full of joy and love. My cup really does runneth over….

You are now able to do a mini push up!

You still haven’t rolled over, but I know that you could if you wanted to. You are just waiting for the right moment! J

You are nursing every 4 hours now and have tried cereal a few times. You did really well! Daddy wants to wait until 6 months to really start you on it, so we are holding off a little longer.

You love to talk and squeal. You can grab your toys now and are really fond of a few of them!

You can track me from across the room.

You don’t like to be separated from me and cry when I get out of sight most of the time.

You are now sleeping in your bassinet almost every night!

Daddy loves to rock you at night time. You two are so sweet together!

Lately you have been quite a Momma’s girl though.

I think your teeth are really close to coming in, so that may explain why you have been more ~~cranky~~ sensitive lately.

You are finally noticing those furry creatures that roam our house, but still don’t want them to touch you.

The car seat is no longer your biggest enemy! You seem to be making peace with it and have been falling asleep when riding. Praise God!

You love to do the air plane and open your mouth really wide in excitement. So cute!

You still wear 3 month clothes, but they are starting to get a little snug!

If those legs get any chubbier, I think I might just die.

You still love bath time and kick your legs really fast when you are in the water. I call you my little frog!

I adore how your eyes light up when you smile. That face could brighten the darkest day.

I don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I don’t question it. I just try love you and appreciate you every second, hoping that God knows the gratitude in my heart.
