5 Months (it was really yesterday)

Lydia,

5 months... that is way to close to 6 months for my liking but I am not going to complain because you just seem to get more and more fun and more and more beautiful with every passing day.

You have had the opportunity to actually have both parents home a lot lately with daddy switching jobs and it has been so much fun to watch you turn into a little daddy's girl. (you still have eyes for your mama) but you give him the biggest smiles and you guys just make faces at each other all day.

You are such a funny little giggly girl now, yes you finally giggled and it was music to my ears! You weren't quite sure at first what this odd noise coming from you was but it is so darn cute, you usually do it most when I'm blowing raspberry's on your belly, eating your feet, or kissing your neck. You even did it last night in your bath when I was washing out that crazy neck roll you got going on.

You just moved into 6 to 9 month pj's because you are such a big girl you are too long for those little 3 to 6 month footie pj's but that's ok your cute 3 to 6 month outfits should still last us a few weeks. You actually get really really excited when I take you to your closet to pick out what you are going to wear. You truly are all girl when it comes to that!

You tried your first foods, sweet potatoes is what you got to try first and you looooved them. You loved them so much that you would put your hands in your mouth and chomp around like you were trying to eat them. Then you would try and take the spoon from me, we still had sweet potatoes up your nose a day after.

By this post next month I have a feeling you will be sitting up all by yourself! You are oh sooo close right now. I think you might also be working on a tooth as you drool like crazy, you've been waking up wining sometimes in the middle of the night, and everything goes to your mouth! So we will see what next month brings.

BUT for now I am enjoying every moment of this journey together. There is nothing I love more in this world then being your mommy.

Love you Lydia bug,

Mommy :)
