5 Months!! :)

Our baby girl is five months!! She has the yummiest rolls, she has the sweetest cheeks, and the brightest blue eyes. She is a doll. When she smiles her eyes sparkle and she just shines, I love it. Her baby laugh is delicious, and I love to watch her learning and playing! She has perfected what we call her little squawk when she's mad (it's super loud, especially at church...lol). Her brothers absolutely adore her and have been such amazing helpers. One of my favorite things is when she is nursing she will tuck her tiny feet between my legs and then fall asleep with her hand on my chest, and I pretty much can't make myself move even when I have things to do, because I just want to keep cuddling with her. When she wakes up she has the yummiest baby yawns and sleepy smiles, and she'll stretch over and over again. She has the sweetest personality, and she is a magnet for all of our attention!

Look at those sweet thighs!

• She weighs about 16.2 pounds and is wearing 6 month clothes (which are getting a little tight now).
• She loves when I kiss her tiny, chubby hands. She puts her hand up to my lips and just watches all sweet and calm while I kiss her little hands over and over.
• She has started throwing her toys! lol. She starts waving her arms so fast that the toy will fly out of her hand. LOL. 
• She can pass a toy from one hand to the other! 
• She sleeps a lot lighter now, if I wake her up when we go to bed she will stay awake like she just took a nap and is ready to play...she's kept me up until 1-3 AM a few times now.
• She's learning to sit up! She still needs my help to balance, but she's getting so strong.
• She LOVES to blow bubbles! Whenever you talk to her, instead of cooing now, she'll stick out her tiny tongue and start blowing and it's adorable. 
• She is getting more of a schedule now, she is usually ready for bed between 630-8 PM and wakes up around 7-8:30 AM. If she sleeps in in the morning she doesn't take a morning nap, but if she wakes up early she will take a short morning nap and then a long (2-3 hour) afternoon nap. She usually nurses once or twice in the night, too. 
• She nurses about every 2-3 hours now, and is still spitting up a lot, but because she is gaining weight and growing her doctor said not to worry about it.

• She scratches her tiny fingers on everything now, to feel it, it's so cute! She scratches her toys, my clothes, her clothes, her little chubby rolls when I'm changing her diaper, the carpet, and her blankets. 
• She is very studious. She will look straight into my eyes with her beautiful blue eyes and it feels like she can see my soul, then she'll blink and smile or look at something else, it's very sweet. 
• She loves for me to carry her around with me everywhere, she'll grab my hair in her tiny fist and hold on while we do our thing, it's so cute. 
• She sucks her thumb and her fingers sometimes, it's so noisy and cute, lol. She also loves to play with her binky, she can get it in her mouth, but sometimes it's upside down and it's so funny, lol. 
• She doesn't like tummy time very much. She'll sit there for a minute and scratch the blanket and play with toys, but then she gets upset. She can roll to her back, but sometimes she just gets mad there until we help her roll to her back. 
• Whenever she sees herself, on the phone camera or in the mirror, she smiles SO big, Lolol.
