5 months old today!

She is growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday I held her in my arms for the first time. She brings so much joy into our home. She lights up the room with her sweet smile. She has really been showing her own little personality lately. Kelley had asked me the other day when we had gone out to dinner, "what does she do now?" Well, to answer that question....What does she do?: She smiles alot, alot. She laughs quite easily. She rolls and rolls all over the place, you never know where she'll end up. She touches our faces, pulls my hair, grabs her daddy's goatee. She puts everything in her mouth. Sleeps all night (most nights). She coos, squeaks, squeals, screeches, whines and talks to herself. She blows raspberries with her slobber. Oh, ya, she slobbers. She mimics our expressions. She holds her bottle. She tries to feed herself with a spoon. She kicks her little legs and flails her arms in excitement, it's hilarious. She can sit up for a few seconds then face plants. The list could go on and on.

Her personality: She is a happy, sweet baby. She is really funny, she just does the funniest things sometimes. Her little sounds and faces she makes. I could watch her all day...Oh wait - I do. We just love to sit and laugh at her. She's really cuddly and lovable. She is very observant like her dad and a little sensitive like her mom. When it comes to other people, especially grandma's, she gets a little worried and starts crying if they get too close, too fast. I think she knows that we might leave her with them. She is getting better though, it's just a phase (I hope!). Once she is around someone for a little while, she starts to ease up and be her cheerful little self. She just has her comfort zones, don't we all. She does like exploring new places and meeting new people, as long as she knows they won't take her away from mommy. I think it's cute. She really has a light about her. She just makes life worth living. Nothing else matters to me, as long as she is happy.

Things she loves: She loves her daddy! You should see the smile on this girl's face when daddy comes home! She loves to smile. She loves to laugh, make noise and hear different noises. She loves her dog Ruger. She loves the bath, she gets better and better at soaking me with her splashing! She loves her binky when she is tired. She loves her toys and her stuffed animals, especially her ducky. She loves her blankies, she's not really attached to one yet, but she might soon. She loves, loves this burp rag that is yellow and has red lady bugs on it, you put that in front of her face and she just goes nuts! She loves story time and likes to chew on the books. She loves going for rides in the car. She loves her feet. She loves to go outside and go for walks. She loves looking at herself in the mirror, typical girl. She loves kisses from mom. She gives really slobbery kisses back and coos, it's so sweet.

Names that we call her: (This is endless)...Little Boo, cheeks, goose, stinks, stinkers, munchkin, midget, chubs, chubbers, squishy, punkin', buttercup, cutie (of course), sweets, sweetheart, turd, buger, rolly-polly, pretty girl, baby girl, babes, baby-cakes, silly, BryBry, Brylie bear, marshmallow or mallo, slobbers, chunks, sugar plum or just sugar or sugs, little bit, half pint, Mo's (because of her mo hawk), beautiful, gorgeous, precious, angel... oh, and Nate likes to call her donkey (don't ask me).

I really could go on about my baby girl, she is my life.
