5 months!

Another month down! Each month keeps getting more and more fun. Probably because everyone's getting more and more sleep!

This is the happy girl we get to hang out with everyday:


We're always trying to get her to smile and laugh, and she usually indulges us. And then sometimes she looks at us like we're crazy.

Summer still loves bath time, and I love giving her crazy hairdos.

My attempts at tummy time have eventually resulted in her just plain giving up.

She tries to put everything in her mouth, giving no regard to size or feasibility.


She consistently sleeps through the night from about 6:30pm-5am, which makes mama so happy. And well rested. We haven't started solids yet...no need to rush the stinky poops! I'm going back to work for the first time on Saturday for 4 hours, so we'll see how she does with Dad. Maybe she'll take a bottle again? We'll see!

No rolling yet, but she's getting close. She loves to grab her feet now, and I'm sure it's just a matter of time before they make it into her mouth. Yummy. She also loves to kick her feet at the ball on her play mat, and sometimes I find that she's turned herself 90 degrees on the mat. What a wiggler!

She chatters all the time, especially in her crib and in the car. I love to listen to her raspy little voice!

We sure do love this little bug!

HAHA!! I laughed so hard when I saw you did that little blur trick I tought you on her naughty bits! I swear when I meet her, it's gonna be like meeting a celebrity, I've seen so many pics of her I'll be all "OMG I know you from the Internet, can I take my picture with you!?"

So neat to hear how you're soaking it all up...enjoying every moment! That's what it's all about!

Glad to see you didn't get yourself on a long shift. 4 hrs is just right. Have fun!

So adorable! It does seem hard to get them to like tummy time. Good luck with work.

From now until twelve months, is when they REALLY get fun! You are going to just want to eat her up!

I'm jealous. My "baby" is now 24 months! :-(

She is doing everything that Dane is doing...expect Dane has been eating rice cereal and veggies for about 4 weeks now, and yes he has stinky poop! you will love the first diaper after solids!

Does she smile like that all day? It's the greatest thing..so big and fun. You put her to bed EARLY!!! That's awesome. I am wondering if I need to do that with Miles...he's been going to bed at 9 for 6 mos now. I'm not sure if that's good or not...probably not. I'm glad you're getting more sleep...things are easier when sleep is had!

That's a pretty good amount of sleep. Way to go. Did it just happen on its own or were you trying for it?

Whose smile does she have? Or just her own? it is so huge and intense and cute!
