Kate's 5 month birthday is today. 5 months ago today I was in the hospital recovering from a crazy short labor and trying to wrap my mind around what just happened to us. We had a baby. Thats what happened. I still get warm fuzzies whenever I think about the whole experience. What a great memory that is. B and I were just talking about how that moment will never be the same again. Sure the next baby will still be a great memory I'm sure, but the first one will always be very special. Now my baby is 5 months and all grown up ::sniff::...well not really.
Important milestones:
She is doing great with sitting up by herself. She has very strong neck and back muscles and I contribute that to her sleeping on her tummy (shh dont tell my ped and dont call CPS on me please). On the flip side, she seems to have no interest in rolling over and tends to do the superman whenever she is placed on her tummy to play. So I'm not sure if crawling or scooting is in our near future.
TEETH! I updated the last post with her two bottom teeth popping through and they are continuing to show their very white and very sharp faces (if they had faces). We are still nursing and haven't had any major issues with biting so that's all good...for me at least. She is still drooling like crazy, we go through about 5 bibs a day, and everything she gets her hands on ends up in her mouth.
Vocals...still have a screamer. Although now her screaming has turned more into shrieking and usually happens when she's in a great mood and excited about something. It seems to have replaced her giggle...so hopefully this is just a phase. Babbling is also new. She was 'talking' before but now she is using her tongue more and blowing bubbles with her spit.
Socialization: We have a couple mommy groups that we belong to and have gone out several times to meet up. She is a very good girl when we are in public and has made a couple little friends so far. Everyone just loves her!
