5 Months Old

New hard drive installed. Check.  Lightroom. Check. Photos. 1/2 check.  We haven't been able to recover anything off our old hard drive, but at least I can fill Lightroom back up with new photos! 

Baby girl is 5 months old as of yesterday the 8th! I can't believe it, and time is just flying by.  A few stats:

• Weight: 12.2 lbs (according to scale at home)
• Size 2 diapers
• Size 6 clothes still, but I have a feeling this won't last much longer.  Even though your weight is little, you are a long baby.
• Lately you go to bed around 8-9 and wake up around 5AM at which point you get into bed with me and daddy gets ready for work, then you are back out until 7 or 8.  There are still a few nights of waking up randomly.
• You love the toy in the 1st picture and will play with it the longest.  I don't know who gave us this toy at our shower but Thank You!
• You are so much more aware of your surroundings
• You are catching on to when I'm not around or leaving and you get upset.  It makes it that much harder for me to leave you every morning.
• You've started giving "kisses" and "hugs".  You put your mouth on our faces and open wide.  It's one of the sweetest things you are learning.  You will also put your arms around our necks and pull in.
• You are starting to show when you want someone else to hold you or if you want down.  You kind of throw your body in that direction.
• You are pulling hair- Ouch!

On a side note: I discovered something that may change our weekends for the better.  We did our grocery shopping for the week on Saturday afternoon and not on Sunday.  We always do our grocery shopping on Sunday and then I feel like our weekend goes by too fast.  From here on out Madison and I will be doing our shopping on Saturday mornings while the hubby is at football.  That way we don't have to do anything on Sunday besides hang out as a family and gear up for the week ahead.
Really its the small things in life!
