This kiddo has brought so much joy and laughter to this house! The last 3 months have shown a blossoming personality that is so fascinating and hilarious! Her 3rd and 4th months went by so fast and she started really interacting a lot more. Her 5th month has been even more interactive as she starts trying to move and get what she wants!
She is noticeably ticklish on her feet and neck, loves it when the dogs walk up to her but will turn her head quickly if they try to lick her face, she rolls from front to back and back to front, she attempts to army crawl and seems to be on the verge of moving, she blows raspberries (seemingly when she wants attention or is frustrated), she is eating some sort of food three times a day (favorite food so far seems to be peas of all things), and she is working on her sitting skills.
It is really pretty amazing to watch things click for her. She has noticed the dogs for a while, but only recently have their antics actually made her laugh. She has observed us doing many things (like spinning a toy) and then figures out one day how to do it herself. I am soaking up these days as every time I turn around something else has changed!
She has stayed fairly consistent with her weight gain and growth (as of her 4 month appointment) and continues to be pretty on target for outgrowing her clothes! I have the hardest time packing up outgrown clothes for some reason! Although, there are some outfits that I am excited to see her in this fall!!
We went to visit family in May over Memorial Day weekend and had lots of fun! The cousins couldn't seem to quite get enough baby time and we had quite an interesting anatomy lesson by a 3 year old!! This was the first decent road trip we planned and it seemingly went off without a hitch, and we didn't even pack the kitchen sink!
We had a family vacation to the beach in June and she had quite the time! Boat rides, sand, and ocean...she didn't quite know what to do! Honestly, initially I think she wasn't a huge fan (life jacket required on the boat, sunscreen was like torture for her, and the ocean seemed to scare her initially), but by the end of the week she settled into it and seemed to enjoy laying on a beach chair with her bottle!
Looking forward to this sweet girls half birthday in 2 weeks!
