The Adventures of Thaya Rose

5 Months...

Well, last week I had my 5 month birthday.  I can't believe how fast time goes by when you are busy growing, smiling, and having fun.  I've been a busy girl this past month, and I can do a whole bunch of things that I wasn't able to do at 4 months.

Now I can:

Push myself up on my arms while on my belly

Raise my arms and legs simultaneously while on my belly (you know, it sort of looks like I am flying that way)

Flip over from my back to my belly (over and over again at night.  When are mommy and daddy going to take the hint that 1) I like sleeping on my belly and 2) If I'm strong enough to flip over, it is ok if I sleep that way)

Use my thumb and forefinger to pick up objects

Get any object my little heart desires into my mouth with lightening speed and precision

Hold my head up when I'm raised to sitting from laying

Sit up with support

Stand  up with support

Open my mouth when I want food, or close it tight when I don't want anymore

There are also a ton of new vocalizations that I have been doing.  I love my P's, V's, M's, D's and I do lots of combinations of vowels and consenants

I also have belly-laughed twice, but I'm not ready to do it all the time just yet

I'm also teething, and if you aren't careful, I might try to eat you!

In other news, Auntie Steph got married this weekend.  It was amazing.  I went out with all the girls on Friday, and I got ready at the house with them on Saturday!  I had so much fun with Auntie Steph, I'm so happy she had the time to snuggle.  I fell right asleep in her arms at lunch on Friday, I couldn't help it, she knows all the right moves!  She made such a beautiful bride, I'm sure she is going to have a lifetime of happiness and then some with her hubby.

This picture is a little dark, but you get the point.  She looked amazing.  Also, her eyes don't normally glow, it is just 'cause there were flashes going off like crazy with people trying to get her picture!

 

While Mommy and Daddy were at the wedding, I got to spend time with Nana.  We had such a great time, I love her so much!  We went on walks together, played with each other, and she did an amazing job of making dinner extra yummy :)  I can't wait to see her again soon!!

Well, I'm sorry it has been awhile since I've updated, but Mommy and I have been really busy lately (she went back to school you know.  She's been studying like crazy!).  I'll try to update more :)

Love,
Thaya

Quick

Just letting you know...

I found my feet and...

I love them!

I just keep growing...

It has been awhile because my family and I have been very busy!  We spent a week in Myrtle Beach, and when we got back, we took day trips to NYC, the beach, and the park.  I also spent some time at school while my Mommy worked.  I'm not going anymore though, because Mommy decided that she would rather finish school.  I'm not complaining, it means I get to spend the days with her, and she'll go to class while I'm asleep with Daddy.  I'm glad she is going at night, I miss her too much during the day.

Our trip to Myrtle Beach was fantastic.  It was very hot and muggy, but the sun was shining every day, so I got to wear a whole bunch of cute hats :)  We spent a lot of time inside, but we had a great time with Nana and Grandpa.  One day we went to Build-A-Bear and Nana let me make my very own teddy bear!  I named it Myrtle (original, I know), and picked out a lullaby for her to sing to me.  I love it!

My first trip into NYC was great.  We met up with my Mommy's friend Jocelyn and at at Franchia, a vegetarian sushi restaurant and tea room.  It was delicious!  It was so nice meeting Jocelyn, she is so much fun!

We also went to the Guggenheim, but I slept through it.  Mommy and Daddy had a blast though!

We finished the day with a trip to Central Park.  It was amazing.  It was so beautiful, the sun was shining, there was a breeze, and there were tons of other babies for me to look at.  I loved every minute of it.  I hope we can go back again soon!

In other news, I had my four month check-up.  I wasn't feeling so hot after this one.  I got four shots, and they seemed to hurt a lot more this time, the doctor even told my Mommy and Daddy to give me a little extra Tylenol because it was so painful.  I even had to stay home from school the next day.  I toughed it out though, and I feel much better now. 

The doctor was in a rush, and I was cranky, so I only know my new weight.  I'm not sure how tall I've gotten or how much my head has grown.  I am now 12.5 lbs, that is up 2 pounds from my last visit!  The doctor is so proud of me, and says to keep on growing!

I have some videos to share, but now is not a good time.  I'll try to update more by the weekend.

I hope you all had a happy holiday, and are looking forward to the new school year!

Love,
Thaya Rose
