Hello my beautiful girl,
You're going to be 5 months old soon! Daddy and I have hardly been able to put the camera down but thankfully you hardly mind. :) In fact, you love having your picture taken so needless to say, I have a bunch of stuff to share with you.
You are quite the chatterbox. You love to blab. We read and talk to you all the time and you jibber jabber right back at us :) Daddy took this video of you. We have watched it so many times. In fact, at night while you are sleeping in your room, we'll lay in bed and watch it over and over, laughing a little more each time.
The day I took this picture was a rough one. You hadn't been feeling too good and we were out all day. But once we got home, you laid down and stretched out and then you were a happy camper. You even rolled over for the first time, from your stomach to your back! I caught it on video but it's a bit dark....
You love going for rides in your stroller. It used to put you right to sleep but lately, you try your hardest to stay awake and check out the scenery. To me, you look like a porcelain doll here. :)
Grammy loves you so much...
And Papa does too!
First Memorial photos:
Tormenting the dogs has begun... I think Lola actually liked this though because she loves any kind of attention. The look on your face is hilarious. I've inserted captions below each photo of what I think you were thinking...
"Stop barking when I'm trying to take a nap. I need my beauty rest!!"
"Seriously, I'm not kidding..."
"Mom, are you going to tell her too?"
"Okay good, you understand that I mean business!"
Painting your toenails was a bit of a challenge. To my surprise, I had to do most of them when you were awake because when you were asleep and I would attempt to touch your toes, you would twitch and wake up. One thing I have learned is, NEVER WAKE A SLEEPING BABY. You're much happier when you're well rested. But hey, so am I :)
Today you got your second round of shots. You did great once again. You whimpered a little and then you were fine! You weigh 14 pounds and you're 24 inches long! You're such a great baby, always smiling and laughing and you're just the greatest joy to have in our lives.
Those eyes and that smile melt my heart.
I love you baby girl,
Mama
