5 Months



Dear Livey-

As always, I'm a little late getting to this this month but already I'm loving you at 5 months! This past month flew by with the holidays but it was so much fun having you here for Christmas. You didn't care much for opening presents but you came out with two totally awesome gifts. The first is your jumper which you spend hours in playing and playing. It took a day or two for you to figure it out but now you jump around like crazy. The second is your Curious George movie. You watch it over and over again and just love listening to the music. You seem like such a big kid already.

For some reason, your bathtime glee disipated this month. You still enjoy the bath but now you just lay there and smile instead of splashing around. You've also tried very hard to eat your feet but haven't gotten there yet. I'm sure in the next few weeks you'll be sucking on those toes like they are candy. What, candy you say? Yes, you definitely know what candy is thanks to your dad. You try to eat everything we are eating or anything you can get into your mouth. If you see it, you want it. I've tried to keep it under control and only give you baby stuff but your dad is a sucker and gives you everything. It's pretty cute watching how excited you get over juice or treats. Thankfully, you also like your baby food. We tried applesauce and carrots this month and they were a huge hit. It's so fun watching you learn new things.

This month you got your first cold. You were such a good girl even while sick but it made me so sad to see you feel so crummy and not be able to fix it. Luckily you got over it fast and were back to your smiley self. It was cute to watch you wake up one day with a huge smile on your face as if to tell us the cold was gone. For some reason while you were sick you decided you didn't like to suck your thumb anymore and you switched the type of binki you like. I still can't figure out what happened. Now you love to play with your binki and you've figured out how to take it out and put it back in your mouth all by yourself (and you get mad when I try to do it for you).

We love you so much and have so much fun with you everyday. Thanks for being so happy and sharing your unlimited supply of smiles and giggles with us.

Love,
Mommy
