Hard to believe how quickly five months flies by! Brookie was born five months ago today - about an hour and a half ago! She has been such a fun new addition to life - it is really crazy how different life is with a baby. I spend a lot of my time on the floor now (my hips and back muscles had to adjust!) playing with this sweet baby girl. I couldn't be more thankful and honestly, I'm trying HARD not to take a moment for granted. I know a lot of people don't get this joy in life, so I'm really working hard to appreciate every minute with her even the hard ones. Thank you Lord, for this honor and pleasure to spend time with Brooklyn - she is just a gift that I truly don't deserve!
Ok, on to her five month info...
- B eats four bottles a day - usually six oz, sometimes she gets lucky and I give her an extra oz. She has started with baby food - did great with rice cereal and is now getting use to green beans. Her face when first trying green beans looked like, "I like what this is doing to my stomach, but I don't like what this is doing to my mouth"...it was hilarious.
- B is in size 3 diapers :)
- She sleeps great at night, usually 12 hours and is very happy in the morning. She loves to sleep on her tummy and her side...mostly her tummy though.
- She loves her exersaucer - we spend a lot of time in this - its a bouncer one so she can bounce and spin...we call it her "office" - she has several conference calls each day :)
- She smiles a lot and giggles when I tickle her
- B takes three naps a day (usually) - 10am, 2pm, and 5:45ish
- This says more about me than B...she goes down at 8pm and gets up at 8am...and so do I :)
I could go on about B for a while, but at the risk of grossing people out, I'll stop - please know most of my posts in the future are going to be about Brooklyn. Let's be honest, she's pretty much all I do all day long. Plus...my friend Nicole has the coolest "blog book" that she made after her daughter's first year of life. I can't wait to get one after B turns 1 year - thanks for the great idea Nicole!
