5 months old

Well, we are getting closer to the half year mark.  I absolutely cannot believe it!!  My little butterball is growing up way too fast.  She has been such a blessing and we could not have asked for a better baby.  We don't cry unless we are hungry or tired, we sleep through the night and she is one lucky little girl to have both mommy and daddy home with the 3-4 days out of the week. 

Vivian's Likes

• We love our feet!!!  We've even mastered getting our foot into our mouth :)
• We love blowing bubbles with our mouth.  Some days she'll do it all day long.
• Smiling.  Even though she gets camera shy, she smiles all the time!
• Mornings and getting ready for bed are our happy times.  She gets so excited after I lotion her up and put her diaper on and about to get into our jammies.  She starts kicking those little leggies like crazy and starts beating her chest like Tarzan.  It is so stinking cute!
• She loves when you sing numbers or count.  She finds it funny.
• She loves when we make silly sounds with our mouth.  That's how I can get her to smile for her pictures.
• Still loves our hands.
• Standing.  She loves to stand!!  I think we may end up skipping crawling and sitting up on our own and go straight to walking.  

Vivian's Dislikes

• Tummy time.  We've gotten better and she doesn't scream bloody murder anymore, but she'll stay up on her arms for a few minutes before rolling onto her back.
• Doing one activity for a long period of time.  She gets bored and frustrated.  We move from activity mat, to exersaucer, jumparoo, playing with beach ball all throughout the day.
• When she doesn't eat the exact moment she wants it.  Child gets mad!
• Being held like a baby.  She wants to be facing forward so she can see what's going on.
• Cuddling.  She is not a cuddlier which makes me a little sad.  There are days I just want to hold and love on her on the couch and she wants nothing to do with it.  She wants me to hold her while standing up.   Odd little booger.

 
It has been so much fun watching you grow before I very own eyes little one.  Just know that mommy and daddy love you to the moon and back!!!!
