What I love about you at 5 months....
(These posts originally took place on Mom's blog, but since she's been so busy to keep up with it, she's moving them here... thanks Mom!)Dear Sadie, my sweet girl, you are five months old today, and here's what I love about you...
- That you have started raising your legs up when we change your diaper
- You grab our lips and try and stick your hand in our mouths when we hold you
- When I hold you at my shoulder and you try and "eat my face off"
- How you've started opening your mouth wide when we feed you your cereal
- You learned how to roll over! (And your dad and I both missed it!)
- You keep trying to sit up when you're in your seat
- You love to grab and pull hair (ok, so I don't really LOVE this one)
- That dad and I finally learned how to use the swing - and you love it
- When you swat at things hanging in front of you - like the laughing elephant on your car seat
- How you want to stick everything in your mouth
- Bringing in the new year with you sound asleep in your crib
- That you'd rather sit-up (supported) like a big girl than lay down like a baby
- That you have a really good night-time routine that starts at 7:30 - rice cereal, nursing, night-night
- And because of this really good routine, you missed every single minute of the National Championship game
- That you were the good luck charm for Alabama getting its 13th National Championship
- Watching you swing and turn around in your Jenny Jumper
- When you stretch out your arms to be held
- You have started making "kissy" noises with your lips
- That you're another month closer to "getting in trouble" with Grampa
- When you make a weird "screeching" noise
- You let us sleep in until 8:30 yesterday!
- That you know how to purposely drop items, your "Quack Quack" softbook
- You have found your feet, and love to grab them
- How I can tell you're absorbing so many new things everyday
- Your smiling face when we come get you out of your crib in the morning... this NEVER gets old
- That you had a growth spurt and now only eat 4-5 times a day
- Listening to Livvy carry on a conversation with you in the car after daycare one day - she loves you so much!
- That sometimes you'll wake up in the middle of the night and actually go back to sleep on your own
- You really know how to blow bubbles and razz
- That you snore when you are in a deep sleep
- Magically, you started "talking" one day when I came home from work
- I know specific ways to make you giggle
- How Mamaw says she's never seen a sweeter face
- You laugh when I tickle you under your arms
- Now that we don't swaddle you anymore, you're never in the same position in the morning that we left you in at night
- You now sleep 10 hours straight at night, and even go 11, 12, and even 13 hours straight sometimes
- You're adjusting to being held and watched by other people, especially when mommy and daddy have a date night
- That the guys at the firehall love holding you (and giving Dad a hard time about everything!)
- You are aware of Rascal and even reach out to pet him
- Trying to figure out what you're thinking
- How you bury your face in our chest when get really happy - like you're playing shy
- That the ladies at daycare talk about how sweet you are
- That for every one thing I've listed here, there's another ten things not listed here
- That everyday you seem to do something totally new for me to be in awe about
