This hasn't been our best month, bud.  Your night sleep got worse, your naps got shorter, your teething symptoms doubled, aaaaaaand you got sick for the first time.

 

On the brighter side, though, you're learning new things each and every day!  When we hold you, you climb right up our bellies.  You grab onto my hair and use it as handlebars.  OUCH.  You also squeeze my face and neck.  OUCH.  You're already up on your knees and rocking - you can scoot yourself to the other side of the blanket, and most nights when I get you out of your crib (for the 4th time) you're turned 90°.

 

You're such a mover that I've had to put away the lounger, and the Bumbo has to be on the floor because you're about to climb right out of it. 

 

You have a favorite new toy:  Baby Einstein Piano.  You know why I love it?  It plays classical music.  The good ones.  You just love the lights and pushing the buttons. 

 

You like to take your teething toys and swing them up and down like a German soldier.  It's hilarious.  It's also a little ironic, considering your attitude this month.

Hitler or not, you still light up my life.  Your smile brings more warmth into my heart than anything in the world.  Thank you for being you.  Here's to a much better (and healthier) month!

 

xoxo, Happy Five Months.
