Five Months Old



Time is now moving very quickly. This little baby is now five months old! She has grown so much this past month! It amazes me how much she develops in such a short amount of time. I am so grateful for every second I get to spend with her.
Here are some of the new things we are doing this month...

  • Rolling over both ways
  • Scooting and rolling to get her toys
  • Blowing bubbles
  • Attempting to chew on Mommy and Daddy's phones, computers, books, flashcards, fingers...basically if they are holding something she is eating it.
  • Trying out rice cereal
  • Eating her toes at every possible moment
  • Almost sleeping through the night...if 10 pm to 4 am counts as almost...
  • Trying to hold her bottle or pacifier in her mouth
  • Trying to put her pacifier back in her mouth when it falls out
  • Screaming in the car because no one is paying attention to her
  • Smiling and laughing when we give her Zurberts (aka raspberry)
  • Attempting to sit up on her own
  • Keeping her Mommy and Daddy on their toes
All of that in just a month!!!! She is so close to crawling. There will be no stopping her once that happens. As she has begun scooting and rolling around the living room I have noticed how unsafe our apartment is. Baby-proofing will be happening very soon. 
Caleb and I are doing really well. School is almost over for the semester and then we will have a little break where we will get to see both of our families before coming back for Spring semester. I won't go into too much detail about us since you probably read my sob story last week or whenever I posted it. (If you didn't read it and want to know what I'm talking about you can read that post here Happy, Healthy, Beautiful
We are so blessed to have this gorgeous little girl as our own! 

*Caleb's Note*
Piper is getting really good at pulling on our heartstrings. She fusses for a little, just making grunts and such, and when she realizes we aren't going to pick her up she brings on the waterworks. It takes us a total of 5 seconds to pick her up once those start and maybe 1 second for her to stop crying those great big crocodile tears. She has us wrapped around her little fingers.
