Elliot – 5 Months
I cannot believe our sweet, sweet girl is 5 months old. Time is flying by and I honestly wish I could make it stand still. The past 5 months have been the most exciting, fun and joyous times of my life. I absolutely love being Elliot’s mom and am honored to call her mine…I just love that little girl so much! So, here’s a little 5 month update…excuse the poor picture quality, these are all from my phone, this is the 1 reason I want an iPhone!
Elliot, at 5 months:
- you really love your mama and daddy…but right now you really love mommy! Whenever anyone is holding you, if I am in the room, your eyes are locked on me.
- you can sit for about 20-30 seconds unassisted, but mommy is always right there to catch you so you don’t bonk your head on the floor…we really need to get some rugs…
- you are trying SO hard to roll from your back to your tummy, but you haven’t figured it out yet.
- you love to suck on the washcloths when you are taking a bath….mommy lets you, daddy doesn’t…he thinks it’s gross!
- you have been sleeping until after 8 every day (and you go to bed at 7:30!!), we have been having to wake you up every morning. You are also starting to take longer naps. Lately you have been taking at least one 2 hour nap, sometimes two…those are good days.
- you put your fingers in your mouth when you get nervous. As soon as we start throwing you in the air or playing rough with you, your fingers go right to your mouth and you start smiling.
- you sit forward facing in the stroller on our walks and you really love looking at everything!
- you LOVE to look at Jack and you always try to touch him when he walks by…but he never lets you.
- you have a very high pitched, girly scream, and it is hilarious.
- you LOVE the Jumperoo. You sit there and bounce, play with the toys and talk until we take you out – I think you would stay there all day if we let you!
- I hate to say this, but you are kind of a scaredy cat. You startle very easily and your pouty lip comes out and you start crying a very girly cry when you get startled/scared. You especially get overwhelmed in crowded/loud places…we need to work on this!
- If we are holding you in our laps you just want to stand and bounce…nonstop. The other day at church you bounced for 20 minutes, I thought my arms were going to fall off.
- you are very, very, very cute!!!!!
I love you sweet girl, and I am so happy to be your mama!!!!!
