We are loving this family of 3 (plus Lily!) thing. You bring us so much joy and laughter. Don't get me wrong, those times you wake up in the middle of the night and need our attention are hard. And let's not forget that you're famous for your 30 minute cat naps. You're absolutely worth it though. We began to see a little more of your personality come out this month. Your smiles are, seemingly, never-ending. You are such a shy girl. When people speak to you while we are holding you, you give a slight smile and put your head into our shoulders. It's precious and melts our hearts. We noticed what toys you were more drawn to and how much you loved to play with them. You slowly began to sit on your own. It was kinda crazy how it all happened and we aren't really sure when it happened. I began to just sit you up during our playtimes and you quickly caught on that this new way of seeing the world was much cooler than lying flat on the floor. You started on your own by "tripoding" (putting your hands down for balance) a week or so before my birthday. You could do it for a few minutes or so and then would topple over. It didn't take you much longer before you were sure enough to let go of the floor to move your hands all around. Before we knew it you were sitting there like a little girl, our baby was growing and developing so much. Here is your 5th month in pictures.
This is what our dinners look like. Move over tulips, you are our new centerpiece! And let's just pretend that the caution symbol on the Bumbo doesn't say, "Never use on any elevated surface!"
Getting excited for your bath!
You found your toes awhile back but this was the first time you figured out how to get those wiggly things in your mouth, the eventual place of everything you get your hands on.
"Tripoding". Look at that sweet face.
Mmmm, duck tastes so good. This little rubber ducky is the one we got for you on our trip to Boston/Niagara Falls. Due to your shyness (which is totally evident now) we still didn't know if you were a girl or boy but we wanted so badly to get you something. A rubber ducky is classic so we decided to play it safe. You love it, just as we anticipated.
Your first snow came after you were snoozing for the night but held out for a few picture opportunities the next morning. Next year, if we are lucky enough to see snow, I have a feeling you won't be this still.
Cannot. get. enough.
Poor little sock monkey. Up until now she has been sitting idly by as we snap adorable pictures of you. This month, however, you got her in on some major action.
I know what you're thinking, a staged picture. Oh no, this was all your doing. So glad we were able to capture it.
Your best wrestling move, not sure what you will do with it in the future though.
Sitting up!
A tad more old-school. And by old-school we mean the last 4 month's pictures.
Our precious 5 month old! We love you!
