FIVE MONTHS!

Ah, five months old. What a blissful age - sleeping fairly well (at least during the day!), nursing well, smiling and laughing and trying to sit up... does life get better than this? What are we doing at five months? Up at 7 a.m., usually, with our big brother and sister, awake until we are grumpy by 8:30 or 9, sleeping for a bit of a nap (with a favorite softy at our face), up and eating again. Slobbering as much as possible on everything we can possibly gnaw throughout the midday. Playing on a play mat, discovering our feet. Rolling both forward and back and all over the floor and crib. Taking a nice long nap (on a good day) in the afternoon while brother and sister go to school (yea for Mommy!). Loving to be in the front pack, going for walks and watching the leaves flutter in the sky. Laughing at daddy. Sitting up for just a few moments at a time. Taking showers with mommy and staring wide-eyed in the wet. Going to sleep at 7:30 (and still waking up two times a night). What a sweet little pixie.
