5 months!

Happy 5 months, Natalie!

Just look at that those cute lips!

You can kinda sit up...well...mostly you fall over...

but sometimes you stay upright for a little while!

You are also pretty attached to your pacifier.

You still have big, beautiful blue eyes

You have been sick for the past week...and suffered your first ear infection. I'm so sorry, baby! I gave you the terrible cold that caused it! But thanks to some antibiotics you are on the mend. While at the Dr. this week we found out that you are almost 17 lbs! (just a few ounces shy) You are definitely NOT sleeping through the night yet. I can't wait for that to happen! You don't like to cuddle very much any more. (This makes me sad.) You prefer to be held but like to sit upright or stand in someone's lap. You are very intent on Hannah and her busyness. I have a feeling you will crawl sooner rather than later in order to keep up with your big sister. You don't sleep very much when we are out and about but nap well in your crib. We are still swaddling you for naps and at night...I'm hoping to wean you from being swaddled this month.

You are a sweet blessing, Natalie and I love you so much!
