Just being outside is your favorite thing to do...

5 months!

You drool
You roll
You grab your toys
You grab my hair
You sleep in your crib
We lay you down wide awake, and you put yourself to sleep!
You are starting to get attached to Mommy
You love to be outside
You like TV
You love stoller rides
You love to be in Dad's arms
We think your hair is turning blond
You almost want to laugh
You smile at yourself in the mirror
We are thinking about giving you rice cereal again, but haven't yet

Mia's Babysitter

In our bathroom the washer and dryer are directly behind the sink and counter space. If Amelia is awake when I am getting ready, I put her on top of the dryer and turn it on. She loves to play with the hangers! She is usually entertained for a good 20 minutes...which feels like an eternity these days!!

Rolling Over

Amelia has never liked her tummy. She cries each time her Dad and I try to put her down. It's no surprise that she learned to roll from her back to front first. It was very exciting to watch. Last night, she rolled over from her back to belly, cried, kicked, struggled...and ended up on her back again!

May...so far

My Mother's Day Present
DeAR Mom,
I'm wrItinG to teLl you that You are the best!
(I've only been around for five months) but Im trying to say that you're above all the rest!!

I love waking up to you in the morning!
And then going to tumble is so NOT BORING!!

In fact, I think I'm the luckiest baby.
Cause if I had to go to a day care it'd drive you and me crazy!

Dad told me that today was your day!
Just know that I love you the most, but don't tell dad, okay?

Not that I don't love dad,
cause he helped me write this and he's not so bad!

I can't wait until I can tell you that I love you.
And thank you for always putting yourself last in our family.

Hey, I know what we can do!
Let's have a secret, Know that I love you everytime I smile at you!!!!

AMelia- :)
