Happy Five Months!

Baby girl you have been (out) on earth for five months now. Time has flown by even though some days and nights have been long. You have made our lives richer and more colourful in ways that could never of been without you. We love watching you grow, learn and become more you. 

You are wonderful!

You are getting so good at sitting upright this last fortnight you have gone from sitting upright by yourself by leaning on your tummy to pretty much being able to sit with very little help
You love sitting up, if you are not straight enough you will grab hold of what ever you can reach and pull yourself straight up.
You like to push up and stand, your feet flat and strong
There have been countless amounts of poo leakages, some have said it's because we are vegetarian, (I'm not sure how accurate this theory is)
Still no rolling over, just on to your side and then you try with all of your might to lift your body over your shoulder
You chew your thumb, and suck your fingers
You laugh lots now, I do my best to make you laugh everyday now you know how

You have recently began making cow like noises when you are excited/want milk/are rocking

You play with your tongue and blow bubbles
You can squeal, giggle, rock back and forth while sitting, laugh, blow raspberries and be awesome

We now have two doggies who love to give you little licks and you just stare at them

You have just started saying lots of 'M' sounds it sounds like  'MUM' or 'mum, mum, mum' but I don't think you know what you are saying

You can sit in a highchair, you think this is pretty cool. We are currently on a quest to find you one

You wear an amber teething necklace

Your sleep spots aka bald patches are quite noticable

You sit on my hip

You have outgrown the infant insert for the Ergo

You play with both of your feet

You have started pulling at your socks

You grab at lots of things now, especially my phone and Daddy's beard

 You have big baths

When on your tummy you move your legs and push your bum into the air

You wiggle around on the floor with no pants on and pee where you are not meant to

 You are sleeping in your big bed and are no longer swaddled. You love to starfish.

I honestly believe one of your first words may be 'whoops'
