Five Months

I swear the days are getting shorter and the minute hand on the clock is moving twice as fast as it was a few weeks ago. I've been carrying around a running list of all your new discoveries in my phone little buddy (because I haven't found the time to get them down here). I'm amazed at the ground you cover this month. I think this has been one of my favorites so far. Your personality is coming through more and more, you've become more expressive and vocal, and your sweetness melts my heart more and more everyday.

In your fifth month you've...

- Mastered the art of reaching for things.
- Mom, momma, momo, and moomoom are your favorite sounds. It cracks me up that you appear to be so proud of your new 'words'.
- If you spot it, the pacifier is in hand and to your mouth.
- Your first two bottom teeth appeared, one right after the other.
- Books have become a great source of entertainment and you love to sit and look (and eat) at them. You'll sit for an hour or more on the couch each day 'playing' with your stack.
- You've got the backwards crawl/scoot down. Your up on all fours making the rocking motion, but only manage to head in one direction.
- We had to retire the swing and papasan chair this month. You've learned how to pull yourself up into a sitting position and it was starting to make mama a little too nervous.
