5 Months Old!

Sweet Girl,

5 Months Old!

Today marks 5 months!  It is absolutely amazing how much you have grown and learned in only 5 months!  You are becoming so independent, which makes me so proud and sad at the same time!  You are becoming so strong.  You are sitting up so good now.  You are able to catch yourself from falling back, but still a little wobbly.  You have the strongest little legs, too.  You can take little steps when we hold your hands and would rather stand up to play than sit sometimes.  You get so tickled and laugh so hard now.  You have the greatest little laugh and a glowing smile that I look forward to everyday.

Your Daddy and I had so much fun making you laugh last night.  You had the hiccups and would laugh at me as I jumped in the air and hiccuped with you while Daddy held you.  That was a priceless moment with you!

Tonight as it came time for bed, you decided to put yourself to sleep.  You wanted nothing to do with being rocked to sleep, which broke our hearts!  We laid you down with your teddy blanket and you sucked your thumb until you fell asleep.  The first night that we didn't rock you to sleep... hopefully it won't last, because I love putting you to bed at night.

I can't wait to see your smiling, happy face in the morning.  I adore you!

Hugs and Kisses,

Mommy
