5 Months

Addy turned 5 months last Friday, so I want to make sure I record a bit about who she is at this age. She is so full of personality and spunk that we are loving every bit of it.

Our girl sits up by herself, although she is a bit wobbly which makes for some fun. She LOVES to reach for things and grab them. She plays with her toys this way and its fun to watch her coordination improving. She particularly likes to do this with her pacifier. She will put it in her mouth, and then look at it for a while, and then try to stick it back in. She goes back and forth with this, and its adorable to watch her concentration and then satisfied smiles when she gets it. She also likes to play a game where she knocks her toy over or something as fast and as hard as she can, and then I will put it back up. We've gotten some big smiles and laughs from her for this, and it is HILARIOUS to watch. She is like a little boxer or something. She also will try to mimic our actions with her toys. If I shake one and it makes a noise, when she gets it she will try to do the same, often times hitting herself in the head as a result. She is so smart and fun. 

We try to give her belly time, but these days the second we put her on her stomach, she rolls right over. She doesn't realize but by rolling back and forth from one side to the other, she is moving herself across the room. I am hoping she doesn't realize whats happening for a while, or we'll have an early mover which I am not ready for!

She LOVES bath time and splashing around. The second we start getting her undressed and I say the word bath she is all smiles and gets all kinds of excited. 

Addy is, and always has been quite the cuddly little one. Of course, as her Mom I just can't get enough of this. Whether its because she's in a good mood or a tired one, she is always one to snuggle in and rub her nose in your shirt before settling down for a good long cuddle session.

She babbles often, and she loves to experiment with the noises she can make. For a while she went through a spitting phase, which was adorable and gross at the same time haha. Now, she is in this squawking-high pitched phase which is funny to watch.

She laughs for us and a select few other people, and when she does it lights up the whole room. She drools like crazy, and loves to gnaw on her fist like theres no tomorrow. 

She loves baby food-both the eating of it and the playing with it haha. Of course this hasn't stopped her from trying to grab some of our food-she just loves to be a part of everything and just like her parents. She sleeps better when swaddled, and she sleeps like a champ.

She is one of the most sociable girls I know. She loves new people, and new surroundings and making friends. She also loves 'date night' for Mom and Dad and we get complimented all the time on how well behaved she is while shopping, at movies, restaurants, walks and parties. She loves music and the occasional Curios George and she is all around just a joy, no question.

We feel so blessed to be her parents. I posted before the lyrics to Stevie Wonder's 'Isn't She Lovely?' song. Now that we have her, I especially love the part where it says 'made from love'. That is exactly what she is-made from love, and the best part is that she has multiplied the love in our house a million times over. We can't get enough of her, and luckily we don't have to for a very very long time!
