Five Months Old

LOVES

No matter what you're doing, if you see us brushing our teeth you drop everything and stare.

It must be true love because you love my singing. It calms and soothes you and that makes me feel good. 

You refuse the bottle. You just play with it and make a mess but no eating. You always grab for our glasses so we gave it a try...you can drink breast-milk from a cup. Whaat?

We love when we go into your room in the morning to check on you and find you happy and playing with your bedding. When were you going to let us know you were awake?! 

Now that we're finally in one place, you sleep in your crib (gone are the pack n' play days!) and oh how you love it. You sleep so much better!! 

We get the best giggles when Dad tickles your knees

When you are using your outside voice and I change to a whisper, you totally whisper back. It's the cutest!

Your first NYC experience!! You rocked it. We conquered that city together! It wasn't the most convenient place for breastfeeding but you were such a trooper. The New Yorkers loved you!

HATES

You got your first goose egg. Spinning round and round in your bouncy chair you bumped into the door frame. :( It looked worse than you seemed to feel it.

Dad and I spent a lovely night at the temple only to come back finding you had cried for Grandma the ENTIRE time! Not sure what that was about, did we forget to tell you we'd be back??

Oh spit up. Month 4 was the month of some major spit up. Rumor has it that is supposed to be the peak and we are hoping it slows down from here.

We sure love you Maddox!!
