Hannah at 5 Months

My Little Nugget, at 5 months, you...

- Weigh in just short of 14 lbs. You fit well into most 6 month clothes, but still a lot of 3 month ones, too. You are a bit of a peanut.

- Sleep like a champ, most of the time. You wake up around 7 (luxury of summertime), nap from 9-10, nap again at 1, catnap sometimes around dinner, and then you are down for the night at 7:30. Many mornings, you are up and hungry at 5, which is when we snuggle the most, but you go right back down. You like to sleep on your side the best, with that fat little thumb in your mouth.

- Had your first bit of formula the other day. I tried and tried to keep up with you and keep exclusively nursing, but I just flat out could not keep up. I know you will be just fine on a little formula! Your sister tured out alright. :)

- Can sit up when you tri-pod now! You love to sit up in your Bumbo or when we are there to make sure you don't topple over. You roll over from time to time, but seem to be in no rush to get around too much at this point. You bear weight very very well, and love to stand up.

- Are getting very very chatty this last month! You love making all kinds of squealing and yapping noises now, especially when you are holing something interesting, like a face or a toy. It has been very fun to see your little personality come out more and more.

- Enjoy your sister, sitting up, lovies, walks, being outside, music, being read to, shoving things into your mought, Mommy, eating, and being held on a lap. You are very tolerant of your parents smothering you with kisses basically around the clock. We tell you all the time how irresistable you are. Something about you makes us have to smooch you all day long.

- Have earned a lot of nicknames, including Hannie Bananie, Chunk Chunk, Chunker McGhee, and Hannah Roo.

- Our lives are better because you are here. You are one sweet baby, my love, and we adore  you to bits!
