Dear Josie,
Here we are. 5 months. Just like that.
I am LOVING how much you have come to life the past few weeks. You really interact and try so hard to communicate with the kids and us. At 5 months you LOVE having conversations with the mirror. You have long since moved on from being a little roly poly that just couldn't contain the happiness that made you pop right over to being an experienced pro-roller. You've started scooting yourself backwards and I can just tell you'll be a crazy crawler in no time at all!
At 5 months you make the funniest fake cough sound whenever I am getting read to nurse you--I have no idea why, but it's hilarious! You are grabbing EVERYTHING and have a firm hold once it's in your clasp. You are also gnawing on everything and anyone who will get their hands, arms, or legs close to your mouth. I have a feeling we will see some teethin's sometime here really soon.
We still haven't started you on food--I feel much less rushed for that this time around. Partly because I know I will be dealing with far fiercer diapers and messes, and partly because I am enjoying the freedom that comes with you just nursing when you're hungry, without lugging everything around and needing all the snacks that come with solid feeding.
At 5 months, we love you more and more--we love your contagious smile and your cute little rolls on your thighs. We love your little giggle, and your surprised look face, and how cute you look in leggings. And especially, at 5 months, we realize more and more how lucky we are to have you in our lives.
We love you baby girl...
Love, mom
