YIKES!
I missed the post I wanted to share with you all on M&M's 5 month birthday. It seems as if I just wrote her 4 month post--ridiculous, I know!
So M&M, as you end your 5th month and begin your sixth month of life on the outside here are some facts we know:
-Oh my, do you smile and giggle. We love your belly laughs.
-You like to have your cheeks munched on.
-I've (sadly) packed away every piece of clothing smaller than 3-6 months. You wear some 6-9 months as well.
-(Daddy claims) you like to watch football-- something to do with the jerseys (no, I don't think he's full of hopeful wishing)!
-Peach in your face--it can't get more entertaining than that!
-You've grabbed toys out of people's hands and off of the bar with your play mat. They go directly into your mouth!
-Feet! Feet! Feet! --you are discovering these loverly toys!
-You still nurse about every 2-3 hours during the day!
-Still sleeping well at night-- about 7:30 until about 5 am! Thank you!!!
-Unfortunately, naps aren't that steady or scheduled since you spend a significant portion of most mornings in your car seat traveling from play date to preschool to park to MOPS to meetings. I'm sorry!!!
-You love to make silly noises-- you babble lots and da-da-da is one you've definitely mastered.
-You've yet to be sick!! You survived the round of head-colds and stomach virus that affected the rest of us.
-People, mostly strangers, still comment about your hair and big eyes. Yes, you are quite beautiful (I don't care if I'm biased)!
-If I had the heart, I'd be cutting your bangs. They hang well below your line of vision.
-After going on Zantac at 4 months for GERD, you gained a whole pound in 2 1/2 weeks. You must weigh about 13 1/2 pounds now.
Thank you, my sweet (fast growing), lovely, perfect little girl. You are seriously a wonderful addition to our family. Everyone just adores you- and there's just a scosh of jealousy (not naming anyone, Bug). You are the most kissed-on baby I've ever seen. I'm so happy to have my four great girls, but more importantly, I'm so blessed to know that my four girls have each other for life. What a blessing you are to us all. I love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck!!!
Love,
Mama

I love this post because I have a five month old too and they are doing so many of the same things. Except mine is my fourth boy!
