Happy {Belated...again!) 5 months Bailey!

Bailey boo,

You are 5 months old! Wow...time flies! You are such a bundle of sweetness and joy in our lives. Your personality has really started to shine, and we love watching you grow!

We didn't go to the doctor this month, so I am not sure your stats. I can say that you are l-o-n-g! You were the same outfit that your sister did for her 5 month picture,but it would barely snap on you.

At 5 months, you were taking a 5.5 oz bottle every 3-4 hours.  You have started to get on a good schedule, too.  You wake up, play for about 15 minutes, and then take a nap. After that, you repeat the "play,eat,nap" until bedtime around 8. During the night, you wake around 12-1, and again around 4-5 am. You are wearing size 2 diapers, and size 3-6 and 6 month outfits. 

 Here are a few more things about you at 5 months:

You love bathtime, and rolling around in your towel afterwards
You fall asleep on your own in your bed
You can sit in the Bumbo or the high chair, and love it
You are ALL smiles
You have started babbling and talking to us
You are super drooly and love to chew on things
Nicknames: Bay Boo, Bay Bay, Bailey Boo, Bailey Boop

This month, you have been figuring out your little body! You love to do tummy time on pillows, and watch your sister or baby videos.  You also LOVE to play with your toes, and to roll side to side.  You have rolled each direction at least once now! This month, you used your jumper for the first time! You weren't too sure about it, but I am sure it will grow on you.  You have also started holding yourself up (when we stand you up), and sitting some when we sit you up.  

This month, you have started recognizing faces. When your daddy comes home, you light up! You love to see your sister, and watch what she does. It is amazing to see what yall's relationship is like, even though you are still so little. She already protects you, even from Mommy trying to feed you a bottle :)

Precious girl, we love you so much! In just a few short weeks, you will be 1/2 a year old. We are not ready for you to grow so fast, but are so excited to watch you develop all at the same time.  We pray that your sweet disposition will glorify God as you grow, and that you will always know how loved you are!

Love,

Mommy and Daddy
