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
