five months

August 12, 2007

Five months is a long time to be a little girl! Daddy and I already can't remember a time when you weren't part of our family, we've loved you forever.



You wore a beautiful white dress on your five month birthday and Daddy insisted that it just didn't suit you to wear something so frilly. He sees you as the little tomgirl who loves to wear his hat backwards, be thrown in the air, and "crash" into things with a BOOM! Everyone else who saw you today thought you looked like a beautiful princess, so...what does Daddy know?



We took you for another swim this past month and you fared much better - only Daddy didn't do so well. He realized when we got home that he had taken you in the pool with his cell phone still in his pocket! Poor daddy! He had to go on ebay and buy a used version of the same phone he drowned since he loved it so much.



You went to daycare for the first time just days before your five month birthday. Mommy was very nervous, but you were just fine. You smiled at the teachers within minutes and seemed to like all the activity. Daycare does make you a hungry little girl though...just wait until you're old enough to crawl around there all day! When I got there to pick you up you were in the swing talking away, and when you saw me you just started squealing and laughing - it was so adorable, it melted my heart.

Favorites this month? TOES, definitely TOES! At the end of last month you learned to get your toes in your mouth and one of your favorite activities is to suck on them. You also like to suck on your socks, but when you get tired of it, you pull off the socks and go right for the toes...you especially like to do this in the middle of the night. We go in to get you in the morning and find one or both socks off and abandoned in your crib...we have to keep turning up the air so you're not cold with your bare feet!



I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my baby you'll be.
