The 5th Month of Life

Dear Lily,

This month has been a very eventful one, indeed. You are getting very good at rolling on your side and are coming so close to getting all the way over. You hate tummy time so we don't get a chance to practice rolling from tummy to back very much. You love to chew on anything and everything, but mostly things that aren't your toys, i.e. remotes, phones, magazines, etc. You've also become a pro at holding and manipulating your toys so as to get as much as you possibly can into your mouth. You haven't learned any new sounds yet, but you love practicing the ones you do know. I think telling your stories is your favorite part of being a baby so far. The most exciting thing has been starting "solid" foods. We have only tried rice cereal thus far but you seem to like it.

First bite... not so sure

Then you were so excited about it, you wanted to do it
yourself! We needed a bath after this first attempt.

After that you were a pro, opening wide and loving
every moment.


I think the Grandparents had more fun than you, you are quite entertaining!

This video is very dark, but it is very cute. 

Sophie and Mom were playing tug-of-war

and you started laughing so hard. 

I had never heard you laugh so much, 

you didn't even care that you were being filmed.

You sure do love your Sophie.

Mom and Dad Time

Really, Mom? More pictures?

Taking your pictures this month was a little more difficult
as you are much more mobile and I lost your stickers.
At least I got this one, the rest were not as successful...

So I had to hold it up and take the picture

You found the paper...

Which did not work...

You also found the camera string to be quite tasty.

This entry is in memory of your Great Papa Wyatt who passed away this month.
He was an amazing man who loved you so much.
I hope you know how much light you bring to the world.
