Olivia,
You are 5 months old now and I can hardly believe it. In some ways it seems like only yesterday you were a brand new baby in my arms and in other ways it feels like you've always been here. I'm guessing that's because you were always a wish in my heart and you finally came true.
At 5 months you are:
*Rolling over like crazy, you get everywhere you want by rolling and rolling.
*You sleep through the night in your bed, for about 2 weeks now, you go to bed around 7:15 and wake around 6-7 AM. You take 2 naps a day in your crib one in the morning around 9 and one in the afternoon around 1:30. You do not wake up crying, you wake up happy and talking in your crib. I usually know that you are awake because I can hear you hitting the Aquarium on the side of your crib. When we go to get you we are greeted with the biggest smiles! So different than your brothers!
* You LOVE your brothers. When you see them you light up. Even though Brady is continually in your space. He just can't get enough of you!
* You are close to crawling, you can get up on all 4's and rock forward but still can't get that arm motion going. You often fall head first.
* You are also close to sitting up. Just since yesterday, you can get in a sitting position but still can't lift your arms up. ALMOST!
* You eat 2 meals a day, right now you are eating rice cereal with applesauce for breakfast and sweet potatoes for dinner.
* You are a pretty easy baby, you often "go with the flow" and rarely lose it. Although when you do.. there is no turning back!
* You sleep with a little silky blanket in your arms or often under your tummy. You fall asleep rubbing it in your hands. A girl after my own heart! I loved my baby blanket (I still secretly do! No I don't sleep with it.. but I have it).
These past 5 months have been amazing. You have brought so much to our family. We are very blessed and truly lucky to have you in our lives. I love you and can't wait to see what the next 5 months brings us!
Love, Mommy
