Our Baby Angel is 5 Months old!!! Wow, this past month has been so fun with her. Everyday she gets more and more personality and a little more sass! We have been having so much fun with her! She definitely keeps us busy!

This past month she has grown so much and she is ready to be BIG. Which mama is NOT ready for that 😉 She is a wiggle worm, she wants to MOVE! She will always be grabbing for something, wiggling, kicking her feet, shaking her arms. She loves grabbing for our phones, grabbing the remote, anything that she isn’t suppose to have she wants. She has been laughing so much, especially when daddy throws her up in the air (I panic everytime he does it). She loves to watch and pet Duke, he is really starting to come around to her. He will give her the biggest kisses on her face & lick her hands and feet. We are starting to let her lay on him, just so he starts to get use to her climbing all over him. He doesn’t seem to mind too much! She has to have something in her mouth at all times, always slobbering, loves her taggie toy to chew on. She refuses to take her paci anymore, which kills us. It would be nice to have her take it when she is just a little fussy to soothe her, but I guess it is better for the long run. I still try to give it to her daily though. She loves her new activity saucer, it will keep her entertained for quite a while and loves the songs it plays. We will dance to the music and she loves to watch us dance & be silly (anything to hear her laugh). She has rolled over both ways she just isn’t too interested in rolling that often, but she can do it! She is starting to love bath time and is figuring out kicking in the water and how fun rubber duckies are to chew on!

She started trying solids this past month! It has been fun to get her ready for dinner & have her eat her dinner while we are making our dinner. She has tried rice cereal, carrots and squash. Her favorite so far seems to be squash! She makes yummmm noises while eating it. She likes to hold the spoon while I’m feeding her, she really thinks she is bigger than she is. We will move on to the “Green” veggies next! We can’t wait till she can sit in her highchair and be at the table with us! Because that is exactly where she wants to be! When we go out to dinner now we have to take turns eating because she wants to sit at the table with us!

We started to sleep train, a little…. She is sleeping pretty good, still only waking up once a night to eat & will get up for the day around 6:30/7:00AM. We did try the cry it out method, which was so hard on mama. We will try it again if she regresses back to multiple wakes a night. I would like to get rid of the 1 time she does wake up…. but want to avoid the cry it out if I can… **suggestions welcome;)

We had a busy month! We had a wonderful 1st Easter with our families. We went to church and had brunch. She was a perfect angel in church, she slept for most of it and then when she woke up she was just smiling at everyone in the pews behind us. She did get fussy towards the end (1.5hrs was long for me too) so Daddy took her outside to the swingset… where mommy went to middle school! This month we also celebrated my birthday! I wanted low key and it was nice to go to dinner with Mitch while my parents babysat Londyn. She loves hanging out with grandma and grandpa!

We are looking forward to this next month & to see what else she learns and how much she grows! We are going to a mommy & me tumbling class and a mommy & me swim class when she is 6 months old! I think it will be so fun to see her in the pool and we want her to get use to the water for our summer vacation to Florida!

Here are some pictures from our past month!
