You just turned 5 months old! The weeks and months just seem to cruise right by. We do our best to relish in the moments so time doesn't get away from us.
Your personality has certainly come out in the past month. You are so aware of your surroundings and you LOVE faces...daddy, mommy, dolls, grocery store employee, anybody! Eye-contact, tickles and conversation get you smiling and laughing in no time.
It appears you are starting to make conscious decisons. We place two toys in front of you and you choose which you reach for. We hope you remember you will always have choices in life and that you will be equipped with skills to ration and make the very best decisions.
You are so curious in our daily tasks. You love the hair dryer and you are the perfect sous chef. We talk you through the smallest tasks and you observe as if there will be a quiz to follow. Your personality is very mellow at this point. You just go with the flow as long as long as there is some sort of loose routine.
You sit up but still wobble a bit too and fro. We know your core is strengthening as your range of motion inceases. We used to watch you swim and now we watch you do the backwards tummy scootch. It is so incredible to watch you gain ground and sort of "figure it out."
Each and every day we look at you and then look at each other and just smile. We feel honored to be your parents and to share this amazing journey with you. There are days where we wonder if we are doing it right but your smiles, steady growth and wholeness you bring to our lives means we must be on the right track.
Love you little girl,
Mom and Dad
