Libby is 5 months old!

Well Libby,
In case you didn't already know, we love you a lot! This has been a really fun month with you and I am so beyond thankful to be your mommy. There are no words that could even come close to describing how blessed Daddy and I feel that you were given to us. It's hard to believe that it's been over a year now since we found out we were expecting you...time really does fly. I cannot believe you are 5 months old. With that said, we are trying to soak up every moment!

So what are you up these days, sweet girl? Well lots of things. But let's start with the basics.
-Still wearing size 1 diapers
-Wearing 3-6 month clothes. Some are still big on you and you actually fit into one of your newborn outfits the other day when it was really warm outside. You're pretty tiny, little bug.
-You were eating 6.5 oz every 3 hours but then this past week you decided  you were not as hungry. Possibly b/c your soon-to-be teeth were bothering you.
-You're still drooling like a champ...but no teeth quite yet.
-You developed your first little cough and boogers this month. For the record, you are not a fan when mommy has to suck out your snot with the aspirator but boy can you breathe better. You're welcome :)
-You're also sleeping through the night again! woohoo Thank goodness your phase of waking up crying is over.

You tried your bouncy seat this month, Libby! We stuck a photo album underneath so your feet so you could touch!

You found your feet this month...and starting enjoying your Bumbo seat! Getting close to sitting up.

You roll onto your tummy all the time now and love to stay there and play! You also love to scoot! It's crazy. You can get half way across the room in no time. You put your head down and power yourself forward with your legs. You can also do a plank by pushing up on your toes & sticking your bottom up in the air. So dang strong. And you are still a big fan of standing up whenever we are holding you.

How did I end up on the hard wood, mom?

You love taking walks in the Baby Bjorn...especially now that you can face out and see what's going on!

You are also becoming more interested in toys! You love things that light up and will reach for anything we dangle in front of you. You have also started reaching for our faces when we hold you and it is the sweetest thing ever.

This month Daddy went out of town for a whole week and you missed him a lot! We got to face time with him a couple of times a day and your face would light up as soon as you would see him. It was a sweet reunion when he got home!

And lately Libby, we've been hearing over and over that you are a very social baby! You are super alert and love to watch people. You have started responding to your name and will turn when we are talking to you. And boy, do you like to talk. You smile and giggle A LOT. Speaking of giggling, this month you actually became ticklish! It used to be that when we tickled you we would get no response but now you laugh like crazy. Especially when we tickle your neck or belly. It's the cutest. 

And thankfully Libs, Daddy got home just in time for us to take your 5 month pictures because he is the only one who could've gotten these AMAZING smiles from you! Happy 5 months sweet girl! WE LOVE YOU!
