5 months!

Happy 5 months, sweet Saylor!

You are a doll. You light up my life. I love you to the moon, more than I ever knew possible.

This past month has been so fun with you. You are getting such a little personality. You are so laid back and easy going.

You love to be held... especially on mommy's hip, facing out, so you can see what is going on. You would ride on my hip all day, ha.

You love to talk and jibber jabber and it makes me smile. Your laugh is quite possibly the most precious thing on earth.

You are still such a wonderful sleeper. You go to bed at 8, and if we keep you up much longer than that, we hear about it, ha :). You sleep until 7 or 8 in the morning. You take 2 naps during the day, usually about 2 - 3 hours long. You still sleep in our room in your moses basket, all swaddled up. You love your swaddle and you love your paci.

You are in size 1-2 diapers and 3-6 months or 6 months clothes. We went to the doctor last week (you had your first ear infection - sad momma), and you weighed 14.8 pounds.

You still breastfeed exclusively. I have tried rice cereal with you a number of times, and you just really aren't a big fan. Every now and then you will eat it, but for the most part, it's not your thing. We will probably start vegetables sometime during this month.

You love to stand up and try to lift up your feet to move them. You have some strong little leggies. 

You are much better being on your tummy and roll over almost every time I put you down.

You are great in your bumbo seat and like your jumper more and more since you are almost able to touch the ground in it.

It looks like your first tooth is starting to come through! That was a surprise to us... we just noticed it the other day, ha. You are growing up too quick!

I love the way your eyes light up when I talk to you. I love the way you hold your sweet hands together. I love your sweet smell. I love you forever, my angel. You made me a mommy.... and I am so proud you are my little girl! Happy 5 months, love bug.
