5 FABULOUS months!

The past 5 months have been AMAZING, fast and life changing to say the least. My sweet sweet girl is 5 months old and I can hardly believe it. (Im hoping one day I still have this blog and Ill be writing that Hannah is 5, 15 or 25!) Im sure technology will have changed in more ways than we can imagine by then. So Ill just focus on the BEST 5 months of our lives.
I absolutely love this stage. She is more engaging and more engaged every day. She is So aware of everything and laughs and smiles for most of the day...and when she is not we sometimes nickname her Patty....as in Crabby Patty (yes I do believe that is from spongebob). She does have her moments but I usually just laugh and help get her through whatever seems to trouble her (a bottle, a diaper or a change of scenery). She really is such a happy, content little girl. She loves her excersaucer now and doesnt really love being laid on the floor. She wants to sit up so badly and do so many things. Im looking forward to her sitting up because there will be so much more she can do. We know once she starts moving- she wont stop! Her hands dont stop- if you are sitting at a table with her she reaches and grabs for everything in front of her. I didnt realize that started so early! And once its in her hands- it goes right into her mouth! She loves putting her sweet little toes in her mouth- its such a cute sight! She still loves the bath and is now splashing around at bath time. Which is why I think she likes the pool so much too- its just one giant bath right?
This girl has or is close to doubling her birth weight! Whew that car seat is heavy. We are in the car seat dilemma because that infant carrier is so heavy to carry around but she cant sit up in a grocery cart. And packing her around Walmart is not an option! We do have her big girl car seat which we have tried a couple times but once she hits 22 pounds she has to move up to the big seat- so we will probably just wait until then. Im not sure how much she weighs- she doesnt have a well check up until 6 months and our scale doesnt give an accurate reading on her- its usually a couple pounds less. (Wish I could say the same for myself!)
We have decided they need to make a plus size baby line because the first item would be the Jumbo Bumbo. She gets stuck going in and stuck coming out! Her legs are Huge!! Precious but huge :) She is even in size 3 diapers...I hope she doesnt get to size 4 anytime soon because they should last until 28 pounds!
Her hair is starting to grow back some- and it is getting curly!! Its getting alot lighter too! She actually has roots on top! Her hair on top is almost 3 inches long and you can see the line where it turns lighter. The only baby that needs a color job :)
Jeremy and I are having so much fun with her right now. Some of my favorite moments are right before bed. For some reason right after her last bottle she is so smiley! We just lay her in our bed and laugh and laugh! Those are the moments Ill always remember. And when she laughs it truly brings tears to my eyes. The best sound I have ever heard.
We have been blessed with such a healthy, sweet and beautiful baby girl. There are so many things to come and I cant wait!

the sweetest moments!
