Five Months Old!

Dear Love Bug,

It is so hard to believe that you are five months old already! We have enjoyed getting to know your personality and seeing you change and grow. Here are some things that you do and love:

1. You love baby food! You are eating solids three times a day and love every minute of it! Oatmeal, apples, and squash are always a hit, but not so much with rice ceral. We love to watch you get excited and open your mouth when you are ready to eat!

2. You are starting to laugh more and more! Sitting on the floor and wathcing the dogs brings great joy to your face. You just think they are so funny. Although it is fun to play with the dogs sometimes Emma forgets to bring us back the toy! Oh well!

3. You still enjoy being swaddled for your naps and for the night. Last week you began sleeping for 12 to 12 1/2 hours at night! Boy you must be doing some major growing. Over break Mommy has given up the swing and put you in the crib for your afternoon naps and you have done wonderful! Silly mommoy for not doing it sooner!

4. I think you have figured out that life is much better outside the carrier. You are a good little girl when we go out still, but you don't want to sit in the carrier much. You would rather see the world and watch all the people go by.

5. Boy do you drool alot! We are always wearing bibs and changing clothes (good thing we have lots to chose from:))because you have drooled all over! We think you might be teething very soon! Only time will tell!

We love you so much pumpkin, and can not wait to see what the future holds! Sweet dreams!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
